New Yankee stadium is a joke!

[Bluehorseshoe]

Three more homers in the rain? It's a freaking joke.

[Tsoprano]

Doesn't mean anything

There were a couple times in the old stadium with just as many home runs and more in the same time period

I forget the exact numbers/time frame

It is way to early to read into the new stadium. Jeesh, what have they played 7 games there altogether?

It's unreal, multiple threads today bashing the Yankees and the stadium, meanwhile other teams also got off to a bad start but we don't hear anything about them (including the Phillies and their bad start).

Oh, don't get me wrong TSop. The Yankees suck, it's the stadium that still has a chance to rock..lol.

If they win this game they are on a THREE GAME WIN STREAK

The sheep will say it's the stadium from now on whenever a homer is hit in the Bronx. Like the park in Houston after the explosion of homers in 2000 when it first opened. The Astros had a lineup loaded for bear, players were more than likely juicing and the pitching staff that year sucked pond water. Since then the park has played neutral, and the cheaper home runs land in the first few rows in right not the left field porch as the ignorant think.

Yes the new stadium is such a joke. The Yankees have sprinkled it with magic fairy dust so that it defies the science of physics and the ball "carries" so well there. And I can't believe that the Nats hired the guys that make fields with the anti-win steel when they built theirs...

[sallysnax8]

you can definately feel the wind pushing towards right field....

[Boner_18]

There has been abnormally high winds the last couple days (up to 30mph). Science says there is nothing abnormal about the park... But science has also been recomisioned to take a second look... Maybe it is a hitters park...

Regardless of the bitching, whoever they play against get the same wind blowing for them as well so there is no real advantage anyhow.

Funny that the Yankees are having a horrible start to the season according to most, but if you were to extrapolate their start, 9-6, to an entire season, they'd be on a 100 win pace.

You folks sure are funny!

[JBC77]

At this point we too many posters listening to ESPN and all the so called analysts talking about the "problem" with Yankee Stadium.

[jjgold]

It actually is an embarrassment to the game, they spend all this money for a little league ball park??

Your not kidding, that chit of a field is smaller than my local Ymca field

Who the hell measured the outfield lines??? Mini-Me

[jjgold]

Stadium is empty too for most games, man they made a big blunder.

No one is going to get ripped off and pay outrageous prices to see Yanks, these are not like the old days anymore where fans idolized players.

[j0hnnyv]

its the first stadium in the history of sports where behind homeplate is EMPTY in the lower level but the upper deck is jam packed.

LOL

[Tsoprano]

This is what the Steinbrenner's blast when reading these threads....

[sallysnax8]

the parts where you can walk around the stadium is really oustanding....the whole stadium is like a museum i'll post pics tomorrow...they have nice cusiony seats but food and drink prices are outrageous....and once your in the stadium you cant leave....so you cant smoke anywhere once your in

Yes I never saw anything like it, man bad planning all around.

[Casperwaits]

Unless you have been to the stadium (sallysnax excluded) how are you going to put down the field? I HATE the Yankees but nobody is going to convince me that the new stadium doesn't have amazing amenities.
