It was tough indeed to wave it goodbye but I truly believe nothing is forever.
Everything must come to an end.

I was recently watching the Jets game and they showed the new stadium. That too brings back memories as a Giants fan.
I watched that stadium built. Lived just a stone throw away down a couple of exits from it on Rt. 3.
That too has come to an end after this year.

The new place is much more open, much more comfortable, and has tributes to Yankees past all over the place. I was on the fence about the new place, but after a few trips there i've been convinced.

I don't mind them moving into a new stadium, but why can't they turn the old one into a museum or something? The Steinbrenners and the city of NY don't seem to give a damn about it, and that's a shame.
