Old Yankee Stadium Coming Down...
Yankee Stadium is coming down and looks to be near completion of the demolition. Not too much is standing. Anybody know if there's any type of events being held for when the last bit is taken down, or if there's a specific date of when demolition will be complete?

My question is that why did they wait so long to finally tear it down? Shea Stadium was taken down shortly after the end of the 2008 season.

I seem to be one of the few, but I really hate to see it happen.

Re: Old Yankee Stadium Coming Down...
I was really disappointed that Yankee fans didn't seem to care about the old Stadium being destroyed. We live in Texas and tired to make a trip up and go to some Yankee games every year or two. I made a point of getting tickets for the last game at the old Yankee Stadium. I'll have to say I have a lot of respect for the Red Sox fans in keeping Fenway. Despite its problems the Sox fans are keeping their history while the Yankees tore theirs down. I have felt no desire to make the effort to come up from Texas to see the new stadium.

The Fans had a say in this??? I'm sure if Yankee fans were asked and allowed to vote on it, the old stadium would still have baseball games being played there. Like any new stadium, it was built to make more money for the owners. Its only a matter of time before Fenway is leveled. I don't think they can add anymore seats above the green monster

Obviously the fans didn't get a vote. But all the fans I talked to didn't seem too upset. As I said, I got tickets to the last two games at the old Yankee stadium and the attitude seemed to be that the stadium had a lot of memories but it was old and time for a new one. Maybe this was not the prevailing attitude among all the fans, but it sure was among people I talked to.
