Revered? Aside from the history that happened on the field, many of the 1970's renovations made it feel more like the bland parks from the 60's (Shea, Atlanta Fulton County Stadium, Busch Stadium) than some of the older ballparks (Fenway Park, Wrigley Field, Tiger Stadium).
The author calls it revered?? Hah. Sure the playing field looks nice. But the part of the (old) stadium that the fans have to walk into and around was shabby, dark, and cold. The concrete and cinderblock walls were crumbling and peeling paint. The florescent lights flickered. The seats were rusty. And that's the restaurant! LOL The bathrooms.. OMG the bathrooms. Don't even go in there unless it's an emergency. Hold it in!
Old Yankee Stadium,, good riddance.
Anything of historical importance is already in Cooperstown. So please spare my the sad violin music. Haha Has the author of the article actually BEEN to the old stadium in the past 10 years? Seriously.
