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.

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

I've been to Yankee Stadium over 500 times in my life since I'm a season ticket holder. Even approaching Yankee Stadium you know that something special has happened in that ballpark over the coarse of it's 83 years. Walking into the stadium is like walking into a cathedrial complete with the lights that hang down from the ceilings in the concourses like chandlers. It's a great stadium, greatest fans in sports. Yankees fans get a bad rep, when you are at Yankee Stadium with 55,000 Yankees fans the attention is on baseball, Yankees fans love talking about baseball and are into the game and it's hard to fool Yankees fans because they (we) know the game so well. Very good knowledge of the game. And all of this happens in the big ballpark in the Bronx.
Pros: Easy access on the subway, greatest fans in the world, nothing beats a baseball game at Yankee Stadium (the baseball palace in the Bronx)
Cons: Traffic can be bad if you drive, concourses are a little tight but ok
