September 23, 200818 yr For those of that got the chance to visit her you know that you didnt have to be a Yankee fan to appreciate her.This august i got the chance to go say goodbye to the old girl and even i had been there many times before i still got the same feeling as the first time... The goosebumps, the ah, the i can't be believe am here seeing this in person, this place acually exist. Walking through the hallways, going up to the pressbox,going down to to see the faces on the plaqes and take pictures. And then finally you walk on the outfield warning track go down the third base line and finally into the Yankee dugout and clubhouse. It still feels like a dream, and something i will cherish for the rest of my life...Goodbye Yankee Stadium i'm gonna miss you.
September 23, 200818 yr I hope they still have the stadium tour when I go in December. I went last year and it was awesome.
September 23, 200818 yr I went in July with AdrianneLove and you really did get that feeling of "wow, I'm in Yankee Stadium". It was a beautiful place and you could feel baseball history just flowing through you. I'm not going to be sad to see it go, as it was never my park, but I am going to be sad that so many people never got the chance to see it. It's almost tragic to think that future generations will never see the House that Ruth Built.
September 24, 200818 yr They aren't going to take it down are they? I've never been a Yankees fan or in that amazing stadium, but I just feel it would be an insult to Baseball and it's fans if they took it down. (just my opinion)

September 24, 200818 yr Author Yep there tearing it down but the field is staying (dude that works for Yankee stadium told me). So yea the stadium will be gone but you'll now have a chance to run the bases have a picnic in the outfield grass and stand in that famous batters box...
September 24, 200818 yr If you plan to tour buy your tickets in advance, I'm glad I did when I went with my family in August. Not a fan of the Yanks, but it certainly moved me to be in such a place of greatness. Of course I felt compelled to point exactly where Beckett tagged out Posada to end the 2003 WS to just about everyone on my tour :cool
September 24, 200818 yr My first ever game was at Yankee Stadium in June 2007 against the Pirates in an Interleague match. It was also the Rocket's return.
September 24, 200818 yr If you plan to tour buy your tickets in advance I went last December and was able to walk up and get them with no problem.
September 24, 200818 yr If you plan to tour buy your tickets in advance I went last December and was able to walk up and get them with no problem. They did 3 tours at the same time the day i went, where they usually do just 1 and were turning people away left and right. Its easy to buy tix ahead online and as the days are numbered for the stadium they may be at a premium.
September 25, 200818 yr Yankee stadium is truely a great stadium. I get sad everytime i think about it because i never went to that park. Ah, i just wish the marlins had a stadium with that much history and significance
September 27, 200818 yr Author Yankee stadium is truely a great stadium. I get sad everytime i think about it because i never went to that park. Ah, i just wish the marlins had a stadium with that much history and significance Dude your in philly... hop in the car and get over there or you'll regret it for the rest of your life....
September 27, 200818 yr I've been in the Stadium several times, the last time being at a game vs the Seattle Mariners. It is great to see that several people have an appreciation for what the Stadium represented.
September 28, 200818 yr Went to the last game last week and since I was at the first in 76 and hadn't been there in 13 yrs I decided to go...wonderful ceremony....spent 14 hrs there,,,,,the new stadium looks massive in person, bigger than the pics....spent 4 hrs in line trying to get on the field, to no avail, the line stretched from lower left fields stands, up the ramps to the upper deck and along over to RF....I stayed till 1am till they kicked me out, I did get some stadium dirt. a final program and my stub which I will have framed....shame no Steinbrenner, no Mattingly and no Bob Shepherd, but all in all a great experience, I even had Whitey Ford on the plane with me going up to NY....unforgettable for an old Yankee fan.....sorry to bore u guys I'll shut up now........
