Yankee Stadium.......why?

It's a rhetorical question, because money is the answer. Luxury boxes, a martini bar, and a Hard-Rock Cafe. No doubt a fancy scoreboard and huge Jumbo-Tron too. I'm not a Yankee fan. I'm really only a casual baseball fan. But I think it is a damn shame that Yankee Stadium is being demolished for a 21st centrury monument to glitz, glamor, and money. Yankee Stadium isn't a ballpark, it's a landmark. An icon. A cathedral. The history of the ballpark, both sports and other, is unmatched. And I can't imagine that a Yankee game will be quite the same without it. Today baseball loses a significant piece of it's history, and a bit of it the magic that comes along with it. RIP.
