Yankee Stadium Seats are in...

Re: Yankee Stadium Seats are in...

Why throw that kind of money at a refurbished plastic seat when you can buy an original wood seat with enough lead paint to kill a small animal? I'd take the wood seat any day over the plastic.

What a joke !! That's like taking a game used bat, sanding it down and refinishing it....all the years of use and originality hidden under paint "that looked like the faded blue they are now" lead has to be addressed, to me the rehab and new hardware puts them nowhere near what Steiner is selling them for....sad.

.......Not to mention all of the smells deeply imbedded in those seats from upset stomachs due to all the losing in the Mattingly years.......
the Steinbrenners put that poor star and his fans through hell, didn't they?

All of that history will be lost.......truly sad.

Re: Yankee Stadium Seats are in...

You are correct. I was able to find this info:

The seat backs, bottoms and frames have each been bar-coded and tagged by authenticators, and in the next two weeks, they will be shipped to Syracuse, separated, stripped of lead, repainted and reassembled.

"We found a color that looked like the faded blue they are now," said Adam Raiken, the Yankee staffer charged with overseeing the carnage.

Re: Yankee Stadium Seats are in...

Perhaps the same thing was done for the Shea seats because of the lead issues in the old paint. All the metal stands were repainted on the Shea seats. I can't imagine the City of NY letting the Yankee seats go out without repainting the metal stands after repainting all the Shea seats.

Re: Yankee Stadium Seats are in...

I was wondering if anyone else received a pair because mine were definately refurbished. The Steiner website states:

"Seats may differ from shown and have not be refurbished in anyway."

The arms have been painted and the nuts/bolts holding the seat back and bottom are new and shiny.

AWSOME.Tom if you don't mind me asking,how much total did you pay for the pair?

I did the $2000 package that got me the seats
This autographed by Jeter:



-a Yankee Stadium moment (which was an 8x10 auto of Melky Cabrera)
-a $100 Gift Certificate
-and a 2008 New York Yankees Final Game Ticket Collage with Commemorative Ticket

Just think of all the A$$ those seats have gotten
