Why did they knockdown Yankee Staduim?

Question

Hi! SPLEE!

Answer 1

I'm a Boston fan, but I think they are idiots for demolishing Yankee Stadium. It should be considered a national landmark along with Fenway, and Wrigley.

Answer 2

I haven't heard about them knocking it down, but I do know they are supposed to be supplying the city with park space because they used that to build the new stadium.

Answer 3

The arn't knocking it down...who told you they are in the first place????

These people answering this question have no idea what they are talking about...i live in NYC so i know

Answer 4

I'm a Sox fan, but I think they are idiots for demolishing Yankee Stadium. It should be left alone and considered a national landmark along with Fenway, and Wrigley.  With all the history it has, it deserves to stand and be played in for years to come.

Answer 5

Why do you think?

What the h**l is a splee anyway?

EDIT: By the way, they didn't knock anything down yet.

Answer 6

I heard the old stadium has a Babe Ruth BoSox jersey buried in it so they are knocking it down & building a new one w/ Ortiz jersey or 3 buried in it.
