Same here. Todays Yankee fan doesn't give a crap about the history and tradition that went on at the old Yankee Stadium. Neither does the city. No matter how much Steinbrenner said he cared for the Yankee tradition and history, we all knew he just wanted more money. Now he did reinvest that money into the team, but that was his goal. The Old Yankee Stadium was failing to bring him in the money he wanted. He wanted to ditch it ever since the 1980's( fresh off its renovations). So he lobbied the city government( since the city owned Yankee Stadium since the renovation) to build him a new stadium.
Now I am not exactly opposed to getting a new stadium. Granted the concourses were not that wide and in rain delays or post-game, it became a nightmare. And New Yankee Stadium is a magnificent tribute to the old Stadium. But, the new stadium has meant the demise of the old stadium. I get that they had to replace the park that new Yankee Stadium sits on now, but there was no reason why Old Yankee Stadium couldn't be converted into such a park. Do a partial demolition and remove the upper deck, bleachers, and mezzanine and keep the field level seating and exterior walls standing. You could put another diamond in where death valley used to be in left center field. Kids would love to play on the same field as past Yankee greats. There was zero reason why the whole thing had to come down.
You can bet Boston and Chicago fans would tie themselves to Fenway and Wrigley before they would let them tear it down. And Yankee fans let it go without a peep, zero uproar. This is a by product of Steinbrenner. He pounded the will to win into the team and fanbase, it made them forget the rest of the important things about that team. And now whenever you hear the announcers even mention the old place as a separate stadium, it is a way to bash it and say how much better new Yankee Stadium is. Other times, they have you believe Don Larson's perfect game happened at NYS.

You don't have a university degree and you were thinking of buying an Omega on your own? C'mon dude. I'm in dental school and I just wear a Seiko every day. It's beat to ****, too. Worry about rent, food and tuition first, not a $2000 watch. With everybody and their grandmother toting a cellphone these days, you probably didn't even need the watch either. So revel in the fact that you just made a luxury (for you) purchase.
If you must know, I do have a university degree (maths) - I received money for graduating. I wanted to buy a luxury watch to represent the fact that I graduated and something to remember it by.
Sorry, but does anybody really "need" a watch? Computers and phones tell the time - sure. I don't wear (or buy) any jewelery and I don't smoke or drink and I've been wearing an $80 Fossil watch for three years. It is such a big deal I wanted to buy an Omega?
And I decided against the Omega because I couldn't justify the price spending that amount of money on a watch.
So what exactly is your problem?!
More cases.

I stated todays Yankee fans. Since you're a Cubs fan, you were not included into that group. I would hope you would fight for Wrigley Field if they ever try to tear it down.
Here is an idea. First, know why TIMG is used. The pics you quoted don't need TIMG tags. Second, learn not to quote pics unless totally necessary. Third, go away. Your sole purpose here is clearly to be disruptive to forum members and I'm guessing I'm not the only one who would not be sad to see you find another forum.
Hell yeah I would but I meant that I believe even today's fans, some at least, appreciate and care about the history.
Bounty hunter side missions are awesome!
is this game ang good im thinking of buying it for xbox 2010 edition
Key word: some. There was no outcry about the demolition. There was a small group trying to save Gate 2, but it was small. All we heard from fans was, " We'll miss it" No try to preserve history and what could be argued to be the US's greatest sports arena, just a, " We'll miss it" and let the city tear the whole thing down without a fight.
Yep, that was me. Don't remember the "to no end" part but it ended up being a gift to a good friend! Sorry!
You know what? You don't have to justify your purchases to anyone, here or elsewhere. It's your life and your money, ONLY YOU can be the judge of what's best for YOU. Just tell the rest of the world to mind their own business.
It's really really good. I enjoyed it waaay more than I thought I would, however, after beating the campaign I got back into COD and haven't played RDR since. Gonna sell it now.
Just received the two Waterfield iPhone 4 Suede Jackets I ordered. (I got a normal sized one for a naked iPhone 4 and the larger sized one for the iPhone 4 with Bumper [my free one is on it's way...]) I ordered both sizes 'cause I'm not sure I am going to want to always have the bumper on the phone, and for $10 each, still cheaper than most cases. (ALso, I got both of them in black, NOT zebra, lol...)

Thank you - you're right!
Congratulations! DS9 is one of my favourites too. I'm in the middle of re-watching (for about the tenth time) Season 7 and the Prophets ain't happy that Sisko is going to marry Kassidy Yates!
