Editorial Review for Yankee Stadium – by Paul J. Pelkonen
The Venue
Yankee Stadium is still the best place in town (in the world?) to watch a baseball game. Whether you're perched in the upper deck, hanging out with the bleacher creatures or settling into one of the comfy box seats near the field, nothing beats nine innings at this palace of baseball history.
The Experience
The national pastime offers few experiences more poetic than a perfect Yankee Stadium summer evening, with the sun making nearby buildings glow orange and the grass shine greener than it seems to anywhere else. If you've never been to a game here, you're missing out on a quintessentially New York experience. With Mike Bloomberg in office, the Bronx Bombers' home, which Giuliani threatened to raze, has a renewed lease on life.

Sure, Yankee Stadium is not in great shape, and it's not as luxurious as newer ballparks like the new stadium being built across the street. But when you walk into Yankee Stadium, you walk into where some of the greatest moments in baseball history happened, and you really feel the presence of all that incredible history. As a Yankee fan, I always have a great time when I come to a game here, and I'm so glad I'll get to go to one more game before the end of this season. It may be gone soon, but it will always be a special place for baseball fans.

I like Yankee Stadium but the fact is the stadium is past it's prime. Based on the shear history of who's played here and how long it's stood is monumental. But the fact is it's time to move on. The stadium concessions are few are far between and parking is a mess. Part of me loves the place but the other half can't wait for the new stadium. Most fans agree with me as you'll see ht tp://www.topratedballparks. com
Pros: Epic Past
Cons: Time has caught up with it
