Mayor Michael Bloomberg said it would "symbolize the resurgence of the South Bronx."

A resurgence in symbol only; the Bronx died in the mid-60s.

I didn't know that Yankee Stadium was being replaced.Wasn't it fully rehabbed not too long ago?

My Dad took me to a Red Sox game at the Stadium about 40 years ago.I couldn't understand why everyone around me was giving me dirty looks when I rooted for the Sox ;-)

I started going around to all the older ballparks a few years ago, just to be able to see them before they disappear forever. Was able to catch the last home stands at Tiger Stadium & Candlestick Park, and had already seen a few games at the old Comiskey. After the remaining teens / 20's parks existing a few years ago, the 'Stick was the next-oldest park, having been built in '58 or '59, I believe.

Hate to see these old ballparks disappear!

This is assinine. Keep the old stadium.

Wrigley's still in relatively good shape; it'll be the last one standing.

What's amazing is that Dodger Stadium will be the third oldest ballpark in MLB after Ruth's House is gone. Still the nicest park in the nation, imo.

"superfan Billy Crystal and others watched the ceremony from a small grandstand"

From that day on it was known as The House Superfan Billy Crystal Built.
