The House That Ruthlessness Built

Yankee Stadium II (version 1.0 died in 1973) was a dumphole, juss like Riverfront Stadium or Veterans Stadium or like any other stadium born into the 70s, but Yankee Stadium, with it’s own unique ghetto charms, was our dumphole, even to those of us non-native New Yawkers who hate the Yankees more than we hate microwaved tunafish (although not as much as we hate Duke). Out first visit to Yankee Stadium III was bittersweet, as well as sweetbitter. Twas kinda sad to see #II all darkened and boarded up, preparing itself for an eventual demolition, but the sight of a still busy Ball Park Lanes across the street, our pregame spot of choice, mainly for their franztastic snack bar fries, still made us all warm and tingly inside, and that’s never a bad thing
Anywho, Yankee Stadium III, we have to admit, is marvelous. It feels like Yankee Stadium II, but less 70s, less ghetto, less dumpholey. It’s clean (for now), comfortable, open, and there are TVs everywhere, and when yer buying and noshing from the bevy of eating options (although we didn’t try any of them, cause we object to spending a month’s salary on frickles), you can hactually watch the game, instead of staring at a wall. Hooray for modernity! There’s even a museum that’s purty cool, even though there’s no Dr Jones, cause he belongs in a museum. There are only 2 things that suck about #III: 1, the Yankees play there, and 2, the Utz ad in the right outfield isn’t as large as it used to be, or should be
and oh yeah, the Nats beat the Yankees!!!
