So... aside from the luxury boxes and concession stands, it's basically going to look exactly like the old Yankee Stadium?

And, they needed this new stadium why???

@MattinglysSideburns: I'll take that over the Yanks' Apple-tini Lounge.

You wanna sell martinis at a ballgame? Fine, whatever. I'm sure most new stadiums have upscale bars where you can get that kinda stuff. Not sure why somebody would want a martini at a ballgame, but hey, to each his own.

But having a place that calls itself The Martini Bar, with an eye towards cultivating the pink-hat-wearing crowd that's gonna attract? Fucking weak.

@The Teufel Shuffle: If Yankee Stadium was really cursed, the Yanks should have started being cursed circa 1974, when they ripped up the original version. The model they play in now kinda looks like Yankee Stadium if it was designed by the DMV.

But yeah, the new one looks gorgeous. I've almost killed myself several times trying to get a better glimpse of it when I'm driving up/down the Deegan.

At the old Yankee Stadium, my brother's friend got his Red Sox hat ripped off his head, passed around the bleachers, and courteously returned to him full of the collective loogies of the entire section. Does the new Yankee Stadium include a venue appropriate to host such activities?
