Our family never got into hockey and basketball. It was ALL baseball and football.

As a young girl, I was terribly bored having to sit and watch these games. Going to Yankee Stadium and watching was different. I have gone to a Giants game. Not the same, found it totally boring!

Have you been to a game yet in the “new” stadium?

No, don’t plan to as I am far from the area now. I agree with you, nothing like old Yankee Stadium. One of my associates has a few box seats they sold in his apartment! He worked for the Yanks for awhile when George S. was there.

Was watching a movie the other night and part was filmed in Yankee Stadium, FBI Story. Said to my wife, I recall exactly where that was filmed. Memories.

When I was stationed in NJ, we used to get USO tickets to see the Giants at YS. Never been to the meadowlands except to see my beloved Seton Hall Pirates play basketball when they played there.

My favorite parks now to see BB are Ranger Stadium and Camden Yards but I have never been unhappy to see a game in person. Saw Nolan Ryan’s last, and 7th no hitter, in the old Arlington Stadium and believe it or not it was more exciting than some WS games I attended. WS crowds tend to be the high roller entertainment folk rather than true fans IMO.
