The stadiums are only 15 years old nothing is wrong with them

What’s this obsession with retractable roofs, bro? Here you are always begging for more personality and charm to be added to stadiums, yet you’re completely blind to the fact that roofs absolutely kill everything about stadiums. To say nothing about how it kills baseball. Baseball is meant to be played outside. Real fans want it to be played outside. So this retractable roof narrative is very tired.

Hate the Yankees, but have been to both the old and new (albeit for a football game for the new one). I think the new one is far better than the old one, but my Dad loves the old one only because of what it was before the 70’s renovations. The inside of new Yankee Stadium is awesome, but not a fan of the outfield. Haven’t been to Citi Field, but I want to. I think it’s a cool looking park, and way better than any other stadium in their division.

The Outfield suggestion for Yankee Stadium is a cute idea, but don't forget that it's built into a city block. It's also surrounded by a park and right behind the Outfield are the tracks for the four train subway. There's absolutely no room to build anything like that

There actually is behind the leftfield wall. Behind the LF wall there's some sort of utility building. Not sure if it's for MTA or stadium and then a parking lot behind that. They could certainly build there, whether it means taking down the building and or lot, or just building on top of them. Don't think it would ever be done, but it's not impossible. What you're thinking of is in centerfield and right.

@@nyfinest017 I understand the fact that it would’ve been extremely expensive to put a roof on, but as you mentioned the Yankees have had more than enough money that it could’ve been done. Especially over 20 years ago when the new stadium was in the concept phase. I never understood why taxpayers have to partially foot the bill though when it comes to any stadium. Like these franchises, especially the big market ones can’t cover most if not all of it?

I think the Old Yankee Stadium is remembered fondly by traditional fans, but to be perfectly honest, I prefer the new stadium. The old one became outdated.

The best thing that ever happened was the city not giving the money for a roofed stadium back in the day before this version came to pass. That would have been hideous

omg how can u ask this? do u know what land costs in NYC?

I remember the first big renovation of Shea Stadium which was a little over 20 years from when the stadium opened. They removed the large blue and orange tiles that encircled the stadium then a few guys grabbed some paint and painted the outside of the stadium blue renovation complete the Mets went for many years drawing millions of fans

The Mets should've copyrighted the Shea name and called it The new Shea stadium.

I think Yankee stadium will last until 2094

Both stadiums are doing great. Been to multiple games at both this season. Would love a solution to the Yankee stadium entry situation, but no complaints otherwise

The old Yankee Stadium was the loudest baseball stadium. It really was an advantage I believe. The fans were much more on top of the field. And it had a scent to it ( no, not urine!). The new stadium is nice but it doesn’t have the identity like the old one! Citi Field is actually a nicer stadium than the new Yankee Stadium. It’s one of the top 5 stadiums in baseball.

what does "in and round new york city" means??

Pretty dumb vid if you know anything about NYC. THESE stadiums were built to stand for like 50-75 years with just reno’s here and there. You don’t just build a stadium in NYC

I believe in the future the Yankees will be playing their home games in Yankee Stadium, and the Mets will be playing their home games in Citi Field.

Yankee stadium can be improved with one change. Lower the prices of the seats behind home plate. Those seats "must" be filled. It is a bad look to see those seats empty.

Regarding Citi Field and other MLB stadiums like Coors Field, etc, I don’t see why they build triple high decks way out in the outfield. Those high grandstands should end a little beyond the foul poles then just have a single deck of bleachers or pavilions in the outfield. Good examples are Dodger Stadium, Busch Stadium, Kauffman Stadium, Oracle Stadium in SF, Yankee Stadium, etc.

Hey, when do you want to start?

Yankee stadium looks beautiful 💯👌♥️

Been to old and new Yankee stadium and no complaints at all

The cheap and practical solution to rainy/torrid weather should be so obvious. Play only in the Sun Belt in the spring and autumn and only up North during the summer. A computer should be able to create such a schedule with ease.

Yankee stadium is hanging around for some time. They don’t need a roof up there, it hasn’t affected them as much nor are they struggling in attendance due to the brand name

The casino planned to be built by Citi Field recently got rejected by a state senator. This means it gives the Jets another opportunity to move back to Queens and get out of MetLife.

I miss Shea stadium but life goes on.

Both stadiums are great. Funny enough if you ask most Yankee fans (honest ones anyway) they will say they did a better job with Citi field compared to Yankee stadium even with Yankee stadium costing a ton more to build

I wish he read his comments... 🫤

I am a Yankees fan but I prefer Citifield. I get that no one wants Yankee Park or Yankee Field. They have to build a "stadium" but does it have to feel so gray and devoid of character? As for retractable roofs, they're a necessary evil. They certainly have a place in many cities but they're all ugly to me.

They really messed up not making them retractable in a place like NYC. Every modern stadium should at least have a retractable roof, because open air stadiums lose a ton of usage due to climate and bad weather. These places are basically useless during off season, especially in winter months. Why would you kneecap yourself from being able to hold events year round regardless of weather? Both stadiums are actually beautiful and enjoyable, but having a retractable roof wouldn't take anything away from them.

There is no reason to believe that 15-year-old Yankee Stadium and Citi Field will be replaced anytime soon. Took a LONG LONG time for their predecessors to be replaced in 2009. Again, getting New York City real estate and sports venue projects built is incredibly slow. Slower than anywhere else in North America.

What's the future of the Dodgers...will they stay in Brooklyn do you think?

No Jets stadium near Citi Field unless NYCFC decides they don't want their new stadium after all, and expands it or tears it down to build the Jets Stadium. About the only way I can see it ever happening is if they do landfill in Flushing Bay. Good luck on THAT... (*EYEROLL*)

Agree with u 100% on OF advertising at YS. Need to open the place up and take that down.

I was just in New York. I can tell first hand Citi Field is way better than Yankee stadium. Yankee stadium feels super weird.

The Mets are not involved with the soccer stadium or the new shops and housing. The casino and park is still up for consideration by the city.

2.2 Bill without a retractable roof is wild .. and even citi field we for our price tag we should have gotten a modern retractable roof. We avg 50 inches of rain spread evenly throughout the year & our climate is shambolic for April and October.

Yankee Stadium is definitely over-hated. Most people who knock it do so for clout and never actually go. I miss the old Stadium bc it’s the first stadium I went to and I prefer the old architecture. In hindsight I wish they did another long renovation of it instead of building a new one, but the new Stadium is objectively a nicer, more comfortable stadium. The only thing that’s a real miss about the new Stadium is the way they buried monument park.

NYC should have one team not two. Is too much also traffic is horrible supporting two teams

Nothing they are brand new just expect annual upgrades and maintenance

Citi Field is built on swampland so it most likely wont be able to support a retractible roof

I doubt yankees stadium would change especially to get a roof. yankees fans dont put up with that. they wouldnt let it leave the bronx

Yankee stadium will be around for another hundred years but city field will be gone by around 2065.

I want New York to develop Central Park into a sports development. It'll never happen but that's a ton of super valuable real estate to spend on just a park. They could pretty easily turn it into a sports development and actually have the Jets and Giants in New York for once. They could make it a community like massive version of the battery in Atlanta but with multiple sports teams. Jets/ Giants, Yankees/Mets and or Knicks/Nets/Islanders would create an incredible sports development community. Imagine if you lived there and you could just walk to home games for any of those teams year round. Baseball, football, basketball, hockey, concerts, other events, etc. all within walking distance of your condo along with office space, restaurants, bars, night clubs, theaters and grocery stores right in the middle of Manhattan. I'm sure it's unrealistic for all of those teams to play there because some already have there own NY communities but I wish they would at least consider doing it with the Giants and Jets instead of having them play in another state. The Knicks and Islanders are two other teams that could really play anywhere in New York too. They could easily fit 1 or 2 NFL stadiums,an arena and an entire development inside Central park. It could pretty easily be turned into the best sports stadium development community ever built. My dream development would be to have all 7+ of those teams somehow play there and have condos and things so people could live/work/eat/shop/etc. right in the middle of it all. Now *that* would be the greatest stadium development ever built but I'm sure it will never happen.

I live in The Bronx. The stadium is surrounded by public transit, but the idiot Yankees wanted parking lots and garages. So few people use the parking at YS they are now in debt, so the garages sit there empty taking up space. There is nothing to do around the stadium because the Yanks wont let go of the garages. If they did then the area surrounding the stadium can become a year-round destination. Why the Yanks won’t let them go is something to figure out especially since the Yanks own part of an entertainment company.

Call me a whiner. I haven’t been to either stadium (last was one game each in final year 2008). Not paying $100 for still not that decent seats (my free corporate bloc free tix contact no longer reliable). Protective netting. Last game in 2008 dropped and damaged a bit my flip phone when had to open for security (left bad taste in my mouth). Baseball generally better on TV anyway.

Citi: A corporate amusement park with a baseball diamond.

Who the hell is this guy? It's bad enough that Yankee Stadium was destroyed for "Macombs Dam Park," which is what I call it. The field the Yankees currently play in has all the charm of the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas versus Paris, France. As for CitiFIeld, it's a nice mix of Ebbets Field & some Polo Grounds features, but... today's fans think of the Dodgers and Giants as traitors to NYC. And they are right. About a dome for CitiField being too expensive, it isn't. If Wall Street robber baron Steve Cohen wanted to do it, he could. Currently he's more interested in building a casino next to the ballpark... with taxpayer approval and money. An ideal the Wilpons wanted to do. Cohen's Mets purchase seems more like a cover for the proposed casino project than anything else. Baseball and pro sports, as well as "college" minor league sports have jumped the shark. They are TV shows funded by taxpayers, gambling operations, TV networks with the profits going to owners and players, who are just as bad. And to keep the con coming they change the rules, the nature of their sports every Fxukx*$g day. (Off soap box.)
