Fairwell Yankee Stadium... Texas Stadium

[SDogo]

Being a Yankee fan it was a bitter sweet day for me. Nothing takes top priority over my Cowboys but it killed me not to see the final game played at Yankee Stadium. I was able to switch right after the game and see some of the ceremonies on ESPN. Having like so many other Yankee fans, my own memories and experiences of the old ball stadium I would be lying to say I did not shed a tear tonight to see the old place closed down. It's one of those times I wonder if progress is at the cost of tradition. I wonder if the old place really needs to be blown up and tore down. Simple rebuild to me would seem to suffice.

With all that said, my focus shifted to Texas Stadium. Basically looking to lose two "homes" in one year and wondering just how much it will hit me when that final whistle blows at the stadium with the hole in the roof. Is Dallas also sacrificing tradition for progress and is it even progress or is it flash and bling a true money maker for Jerry. Can the old place not be rebuilt?

I know new memories will be made in each but it's hard to let go off the old. I just hope in 30-40 years from now my kids will have thje same great memories of these new stadiums as I do of the old.

I recorded it. I am sick that the stadium is closing.

I am even sicker that A-Rod, abreau, giambi, damon, matsui, pudge are yankees and part of the team that closed the stadium.

I really wish I would of. If you can find a way to get that into a file that can be downloaded I would so appreciate it.

I agree with you for the most part, kind of felt weird seeing A-Rod, Abreau, Pudge and Giambi parading around the field acting like little kids when really, they have no clue. It also GREATLY pained me not to see Joe Torre there.

As a huge Yankees fan I'm sad as well... Wow there are a lot of Yankee/Cowboys fans on this board, cool.

I am not a yankee fan anymore. My entire family is.

For me it ended the day they traded for clemens.

My all time favorite moment in sports is Don Mattingly going back to back off Andy benes in the 95 divisional playoff at the stadium.

after mattingly retired it was never the same for me and when clemens was brought in I just never had that same feeling again.

Once I moved that ended my being a fan of the yankees.
