Stadium(s)

Posted by – April 3, 2009 – Share on Facebook

One is Yankee Stadium. The other is a snazzy combination of the Polo Grounds and Ebbets Field. Fear not: you can buy a dog and a beer at each and still see the game while in line.

[What’s more,] each stadium subtly reflects the character of the franchises that built them. Yankee Stadium is the kind of stoic, self-conscious monument to history that befits the most successful franchise in American sports. The new home of the Mets, meanwhile, is scrappier and more lighthearted. It plays with history fast and loose, as if it were just another form of entertainment.

    Depends on whether or not you can get a second mortgage. I’ll take pictures this weekend.
