Yankee stadium closing

My first trip to the Yank was in July 2006. I went with three friends: two girls and a guy. The girls left in the 4th to go get snacks. By the 7th inning, they hadn't returned. I called one of them, and it turned out that the other had passed out in the concourse and busted her head open (she'd been drinking the night before and was hung over). We all left the game to take her to Bronx-Lebanon. Meanwhile, Mariano Riveira recorded his 400th save.

Ladies, when we take you to a game, you have one job: don't frick it up for us. That's it. That's all you have to do. You can be annoying, you can always have to piss, you can know nothing about the sport, and you can embarrass the shite out of us. Just make sure I can stay for the duration of the game.

Has anybody ever been to Yankee Stadium?

I went in 2000 and sat in the bleachers. I got to see Rivera up close and we were right by Monument Park. They were playing the White Sox, and my father forbade my brother to where his White Sox hat (he was going through a phase where he would cheer for whatever team would piss me off the most ). Anyway, the Sox took a huge early lead, but the Yanks came back and made it a game (still lost though). A lot of the Bleacher Creatures left early because they'd stopped serving beer in the bleachers, but my family and I stayed the whole game. We got rewarded by seeing Chuck Knoblach hit Keith Olbermann's mom in the head with an errant throw to first base.

i know i'm splitting hairs here .. but to me, it isn't even the "house that ruth built" anymore .. the thing was almost completely demolished in 1973, rebuilt and reopened in 1976 .. the exterior looks nothing like the original did (in fact, the new stadium looks almost exactly like the original from the outside) ... the interior, save for the upper facades, looks completely different too ... also, the field was completely removed and re-sodded during the reconstruction .. to me, it is just the same piece of real estate and that's it .. look at old pics of wrigley field and fenway .. those ball parks almost look exactly the same with very few changes ..
