In the late 1980's I lived in Brooklyn for 9 months. I'm from London England. I was young and loved nearly everywhere I went and I have wonderful memories of your city. I love sport but never got a chance to discover baseball, if I had, I'm sure I would have loved it.
I lived near the Yankee stadium and whenever I think back to those times, it's the first thing I see. I would walk past and hear the inside and get homesick and see myself with my dad and grandpa at Anfield in Liverpool and football.
A brand new fancy stadium that could be in any city anywhere in the world. Is that progress? It ain't just a place that played baseball. It's part of history that is gone. Fight for your heritage because it takes us all back to a time that we loved.
I know this may seem crazy but hey it's better then having the stadium be taken down. If possible just send a huge flock of people to the stadium grounds protesting on not knocking down the field. I myself think it's just disrespectful to destroy a great piece of history. I truely don't understand why they would do this now or even ever. Fathers and sons grew up in that place. Memories can expand if its saved. I mean yeah memories last from generation to generation BUT why not for just once in history keep the physical being of what created all of those memories in the 1st place. Let it remain there forever for others to visit and cherish and make their own great memories.
Get the United Football League to put a team in Yankee Stadium. if it' not a baseball stadium anymjore, better we save it as a football stadium than just destroy it.
Can't we send all of these signatures to Mayor Bloomberg, former mayor Guliani and all of the New York local papers, as well as Keith Olberman on his television talk show ( season tickets Yankees fan) and ANYONE else who may have enough money or political power to make a difference?
Hi,
Facing the impending demolition, e're trying to save Gate 2 as a momument, as detailed at www.savetheyankeegate2.com. We'd love to have your support, advice, and endorsement.
There is a big 'rally' at OYS Gate 2, on June 30, 4-7 PM, preceding the game against Seattle.
Worked with your Dad last year on the landmarking effort!
Thanks and look forward to hearing from you,
Tim Reid
Committee to Commemorate Babe Ruth

We should calculate what the revenue of the New Yankee Stadium is tabulated to be if all the seats sold out. A tabulation of the teams revenue should be made to see where the bucks come from. A couple of excel sheets could be a real eye opener as to where our tax-dollars really went!
Lets have a forum at the local community center (board #7) to see if anyone from the community can afford to go to Yankee Games, if there were any health consequenses from the construction and if the local economy was revitalized in any way by the construction. That forum could answer a lot of questions about what the real purpose of the stadium is.
Sign for a walk out of Yankee Stadium Premium Games. Instead of taunting opposing teams taunt people who sit in the luxury seats instead. Have a group of loyal yankee fans sit out of the new stadium demanding to see management. Have protests outseide the stadium with people complaining about the prices and saving the old stadium. And finally make Yankee Stadium and National TREASURE!!!
Go to baseball-fever.com under "Ballparks, Stadiums & Green Diamonds." There are a couple of sites there to do the same as here.
I really believe that the landmarks commission
is using the 70's remodeling of Yankee Stadium
as an excuse not to make the Stadium a Landmark.
It wouldnt suprise me if the Mayor got to the
commission before we did and said " HEY LISTEN,
WE ARE MAKING PARKLAND OUT OF THE STADIUM
AND THATS THAT, THE MAINTEANCE IN KEEPING THE STADIUM AROUND IS TOO HIGH AND THE BRONX RESIDENTS ARENT GONNA LIKE HAVING TWO BASEBALL STADIUMS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, NO, WE ARENT KEEPING THE OLD STADIUM, IT WILL BE DESTROYED ".
Thats what I think folks. If I had my way, the Yankees would still be playing at the old stadium. If the Red Sox can play at Fenway, The Yanks can play at The House That Ruth Built.
