The House That Ruth Built

Yankee Stadium is about to become "the site fo the old Yankee Stadium." This is, of course, both disappointing and super exciting. The old Yankee Stadium is quite awesome to visit, while being a little uncomfortable and old fashioned. The NEW
Yankee Stadium (as opposed to the New Yankee Workshop) is being built from the original blueprints with major upgrades. We can walk to both stadiums, and as the following photos attest, they are literally right next to each other. I have been to several seasons of OYS, and I'm quite excited to see a few more games this year (go stupid Yankee losers!). We have tickets to three games. Then, when the season is over, they are going to implode the old stadium, just in time to declare the new one, a near exact replica, open. Cheers for bizarre decisions!
These pics are from November, I think. Hopefully, there will be a construction update soon.
