Citi Field vs. Yankee Stadium
http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=4046639
For ESPN, not a bad review for both of them. From what I gathered from it, if I had a choice I would rather watch the games a Citi Field, the ballpark looks like the old Ebbets field from the outside which I like, and I like the creativity of the dimensions. Oh and I would feel more like a man to go to a ballpark that doesnt offer sushi or chinese food. That isnt baseball cmon now.
If I was a rich snob, I guess I would probably choose Yankee Stadium with those padded seats. I wonder how they would keep them clean. Whatever you do Metsguy, dont click Yankee Stadium.

Citi, it has the Rotunda.

Re: Citi Field vs. Yankee Stadium
Yankee stadium is the FAR superior stadium, no doubt; so, I will definitely go with it.

Re: Citi Field vs. Yankee Stadium
Well to be fair, with the amount of Met fans and anti-Yankee fans(I clearly remember seeing some Yankee avatars with a red x going through it, even from an Angels fan) on this forum, the results of this poll will probably not be accurate.

Re: Citi Field vs. Yankee Stadium
Yankee Stadium, although it's closer than it would have been last year if you asked me.

There is a lot of Yanks here too. You, Rick, Koolzach, Gehrig, CaptainYanks, 5DiMaggio.... But fine, make a scapegoat

How many of them are active right now? Only the first three. You'd have to be blind not to see that there are currently more active anti-Yankee fans than there are Yankee fans, and that isn't even including the Mets fan. The fact that you are trying to accuse me of making a "scapegoat" is laughable.

Citi Field. It looks like a nicer park, and I wouldn't have to obtain a federal loan to afford a ticket.

Re: Citi Field vs. Yankee Stadium
The thing with the Yankees, the stadium looks exactly the same which to me isnt that big of a deal, but ive always been fascinated with Ebbets Field and I think I would get much more enjoyment out of that than going to Yankee Stadium.
And serving Sushi at a ballpark? Thats almost sacrilegious.

Ya, you're spot on.
I would go as far to say that the Yankee-haters outnumber the Yankee fans on this forum by at least a 5-1 ratio.

Persecution complex, much? :p

Re: Citi Field vs. Yankee Stadium
I don't get why it matters >.>
If you hate the Yankees and you don't want to see Yankee stadium then you don't want to see it. Isn't the question which would you rather see? not Which do you think is the better stadium?

citi field, simply because the yankees built the same stadium for no reason....and lost historical signifiance

I thought that was one of the reasons why they built it to be just about the same, to maintain that. Granted, it's not the "House That Ruth Built" anymore, but it's a close replica to the original in many ways.

Then stop making illogical, daft posts. Quit making uninformed posts.

Re: Citi Field vs. Yankee Stadium
Citi Field, I just got back from there :p
The only negatives were that it's a navigational nightmare for some seats, and some of the fans are dicks (some people booed during the moment of silence for Harry Kalas)

Re: Citi Field vs. Yankee Stadium
I saw that there was a bridge behind the pen in right field. Seems kinda cool to have a bridge. Whats below it?

IIRC there's nothing below it.... the area with the old HR apple from Shea Stadium is like behind it and down.

Re: Citi Field vs. Yankee Stadium
I am Yankee fan. Thank you very much. If your team cant compete in the majors, cry and call your mommy, but dont blame the Yanks. Look at the money, look at the rings, and look at the team. Remember one thing also, the Yankees were the 3rd team in NY at one time behind the Dodgers and Giants. When they ran west for the money, the Yankees stayed to become one of most successful franchises ever. As for the Mets, I hate them, but do respect em.
As for stadiums, the Yankees didn't build a stadium just to make more money. That stadium was old and had many structural problems. When you pack the house in a stadium for almost 70 years, the stadium starts to wear out. Just ask Boston and Cubs fans. Boston really needs a new stadium and probably soon. As for Shea, that thing was a slap together piece of **** for an expansion team. When the bathrooms flood with piss in the seventh inning, it might be time for a new stadium.
Anyway, thanks Metsguy for the update on Citifield. I am going there in May and new Yankee stadium during the opening series.

Thats kind of arrogant dont you think? While your at it, how bout going to the casino and cheering for the house? :rolleyes:

Re: Citi Field vs. Yankee Stadium
He's right. If your team can't compete, the problem isn't the Yankees. It's your team.

It isnt arrogance. Why is a team evil if it is successful?

Ive never complained that the fact the Yankees buy everyone and my team has a modest payroll, I just find it sort of smug that Yankee fans assume that everyone complains about what they spend. I actually cheer for it, because how many titles have they won since their payroll hovers around 200 mil or so? None.

Never said they were.
