The building is old and the corridors are steep, but overall it remains a perfectly viable venue. While I have little doubt that it makes more financial sense to build a new facility, I think Yankee Stadium was special enough and the fan base is strong enough that they could have stuck it out in Yankee Stadium &#8212; four million fans a year can&#8217;t be wrong. It is all a moot point now, and perhaps when I walk into the new Yankee Stadium someday, I will forget about the old one. After all the new Yankee Stadium will look more like the original Yankee Stadium (in some respects) than the current one. Perhaps I am just being sentimental because my grandfather was born and raised on 161st Street, watched the stadium get built, and could hear the crowd from home when Babe Ruth hit a home run. Also, my mom worked there for the Yankees before the renovations. At least they are staying in the Bronx.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.blogger.com\/wfy\/graphics\/technorati.gif\" border=\"0\" \/>  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/NewYorkYankees\" rel=\"tag\">New York Yankees<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/bronx\" rel=\"tag\">Bronx<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/NewYorkCity\" rel=\"tag\">New York City<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/YankeeStadium\" rel=\"tag\">Yankee Stadium<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\">&copy;MMX William F.
