Well, here is a few pictures out of the almost 200 I took yesterday , Friday 9-19-08, the last Friday in Yankee Stadium.

I'll miss the old Stadium

Cool pics! I am an O's fan but that place will be missed.

It will have less seats next year, higher prices and you have to buy a cable subscription to see them around here if you don't see them live.

I heard that it was closing, but never why. Are they building a new one and taking this one down?

Sad to see it go...

BUT.... the last homer was caught by a Colorado boy! Gotta love that!

Yep, $1.7Billion for new stadium 150 yeards away from the old one. Less seats in the new one but don't worry, tickets prices went up too

Gotta pay for those overpriced players. Goodbye to the house the Ruth built.

That's nuts! I would think for 1.7 billion they would be able to give the old one an updated look!
