it's a damn good thing they shot down the Jets stadium. it'd be a friggin travel nightmare in Manhattan if they erected that monstrousity.

ps, Go GIANTS

Yeah, the Giants are gonna have a nice stadium in a few years. In the Meadowlands, but that's fine.

Looks like the old stadium (Babe Ruth/Lou Gehrig days).

so are there pictures of the plans, I couldn't find any.

Who would announce a new building project without architectural drawings?

Todays NY Post newspaper had a drawing.

No "pictures" yet,

Giants just made an offer to the Jets to share their new stadium (ugh!!!). Jets are yet to respond.

heard this on WFAN coming home.

i wished they keep using the current stadium...i love going to the park. so sad.

It's bittersweet, but Ruth, Gherig, Mantle and Marris never played in today's Yankee Stadium anyway. It's a completely different ballpark since renovation. I love the stadium too, but I don't think a new one is such a bad thing. It's really getting old already.

It is. Parking there is a bitch. They also have too many cheap seats and too few expensive ones.

The design is a bit blah but I like the idea of the outside part of the stadium looking like the old stadium during the Ruth days. Nice that the Yanks will foot almost everything while the city/state (and taxpayers) fix up the surrounding area which needs help anyways.

Its good to see the Yanks and hopefully the Mets get new stadium (Shea is a damn dump). To hell with that Jets stadium...hope that never pans out (I'm assuming its a dead deal now).
