Why are they going to tear down Yankee Stadium???

Question

They keep bragging about how much the new one is going to cost, over $1 billion. Why don't they just invest $500 million into the current one and keep the field where Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, and Mickey Mantle played???

Answer 1

Because the team wants more money and they can raise ticket prices at the new stadium. The Season Ticket prices will go up too. We both like the field, but everyone wants more money. And Hey, they already so close to finishing it!

Answer 2

One of the great mysteries of life.  I think it's terrible that something so historic should be knocked down.  If they want to build a new ball park, fine, but keep the old Yankee Stadium and turn it into a baseball museum.  It's a national land mark and should be treated that way.

Answer 3

Because they're stupid. Nuff said.

Answer 4

because they are idiots. they're tearing down history!

Answer 5

They are idiots one, they didn't need a new stadium, and also they just did it out of boredom with out thinking of what they are actually doing. With the torn down stadium they are going to make several baseball fields with nice trees and and cool bleachers. Wish i can play there....

Answer 6

it is the same with olympic stadiums you can use it again and it would cost a lot of money to keep maintained. and taggers will definitely tag on the walls so why let that happen to a sacred place such as Yankee Stadium

Answer 7

Big money, big businesses. When you got a billion dollars you can do whatever you want.

Answer 8

They aren't going to tear down the stadium.. it's going to be used as a park or something.. but from what I've heard they're keeping it up just not using it.

Answer 9

Answer 10
