Here's the pic of the plan:

Soccer? Did you say Sccoer on holy Baseball ground? I tried watching the World Cup when USA played and I wanted to gouge out my eyes with a spoon! What is up with the sound? It's like there is a bee's nest next to the microphone.

Standing on some newly planted and freshly created field isn't the same as standing where the greats stood. Isn't Ebbets Field an apartment building now? I wouldn't get much satisfaction out of living above first base.

You guys are either blind or have never been to Yankee Stadium. The soccer field is on top of the parking garage in between the two stadiums, the new one and the old one. There are 3 baseball fields in the place where the old stadium was -- including a big one, right on top of where the old infield was. That is, you will be able to stand in the same batters box and look at the same home plate, in terms of location vis-a-vis the entire universe, and see a baseball field with the Bronx Courthouse in the distance.

Yes soccer is horrible, heaven forbid kids actually get some exercise. I never have the problem of wanting to gouge my eyes out with a spoon when baseball is on since I am asleep.

The World Cup buzzing sound.

Ah, yes - the vuvuzela. Apparently, the locals are exceptionally enamored with them. Must be an acquired taste.

A local radio station said today that earlplugs, not jerseys or t-shirts are the hottest selling item at the stadium!

No idea why the sound at the new stadium is terrible.

The sound at Yankee Stadium is great... they're talking about the sound in South Africa for the World Cup.

You thought the sound at the stadium was great? Every time I'm there I can't hear anything. My only complaint about the stadium has been its sound.

Now you'll be accused of being both blind and deaf.
