They tore it down once before. It wasn’t the same after the 70s renovation.

Old stadium was better for home field advantage, the crowd there was amazing and a homer would raise the roof

Architecturally, these ballparks are significantly different. While the return of the limestone facade and the frieze are welcome throwbacks to the original (pre-renovation) stadium, the lay out of the decks are significantly different, both in their more circular direction around the park, and how far pushed back they are. So much of the appeal of the original (both pre and post renovation) stadium was how majestic and intimidating the decks were. Angling in from behind home plate; sharply hooking around the poles; and being stacked close to the field providing a visual of fans seemingly cascading from the heavens right over top the action. Also, we had monument park in the old (post renovation) park. It was better than the now hidden "museum" in center.

I remember going as a kid to New York in 2009 and having the great pleasure of seeing old yankee stadium, only days before it would be torn down. Something I’ll never forget. I even wore a Mets hat to the stadium (having the tour of the stadium kept a secret by my father) where our guide picked at me (all in good fun) saying, “by the end of this tour if you still want to wear your Mets hat that’s okay, but if at any point you feel or want to take the hat off. I’ll give you and your brother brand new hats.” Needless to say but by the time we got to the plaques of former legends, the hat was in my hand. The guide was grinning ear to ear and I was too. For him for winning over a new fan (I imagine) however for me I realized I was getting a once in a lifetime opportunity.

I’m a Red Sox fan so 1000% biased opinion here. Building a new yankee stadium is a trash move on the level of selling babe Ruth to keep a broadway play going. Not renovating the old one should curse them for at least 86 years.

They already did in the 70’s. Steinbrenner wanted a new one for years, he wasn’t going to put more money out for another renovation as that can actually cost a lot more. Add to the fact the old one was falling apart. In 1998, a huge piece of concrete fell into the stands, granted no one was in the stadium at the time but imagine if there was. There’d be lawsuits like crazy. Many believe that incident further accelerated the need for a new stadium, not to mention the old one was outdated and very crammed in the end.

Not a new Yorker or a Yankees fan I'm from Chicago and I think naturally we are born with a dislike of new Yorkers. But I'm happy they kept the stadium in the bronyx. So many teams abandon their cities, really just spitting in the fans faces.

And they also won the World Series that year

And many public park space was destroyed. I remember going to the park space that was destroyed just to make room for the stadium.

They used cantilever construction that makes anyway you sit or stand a front-row seat they did an excellent job

They should have done done a renovation of it the way the Cubs and Red Sox did renovations of Wrigley and Fenway. Wrigley is almost a completely new ballpark after four or five years of major renovations, but they still can maintain historic location. they could still say Babe Ruth and Jackie Robinson played there.
