Can anyone tell me why Yankee Stadium is being replaced. I watched the final game at the stadium, last night. John Miller & Joe Morgan interviewed the living Yankee Hall Of Famers, but the question of why was never addressed. Joe Morgan mentioned that when he hit his first home run at Yankee Stadium he was thinking that he was rounding the same bases that Ruth, Gehrig and the others did. Why destroy this unique venue? You want a higher tech scoreboard? Hell, we could've put one in. You want more luxury boxes? Luxury boxes are for sissies! But I digress. I just want to know why?
I discovered some very old pictures of Yankee Stadium, circa 1923. Click for the full size.
