Default Farewell to Yankee Stadium

The final game at Yankee Stadium just ended....

share your favorite Yankee Stadium memories (TV or live)

Favorite TV memory:

2003 ALCS Game 7... i can remember feeling the intensity through the screen... all the drama between Clemens, Pedro, etc.... and then to finish it off in extra inning with a walk off homer by Aaron Boone... I'll never forget that game.

I went to Yankee Stadium for games twice...

The first time was in 2005, my sister and her bf (now husband) came from Chicago for interleague play vs. the Cubs. We had seats in the upper deck, right field near the foul ball pole. The Yank's won by a whole lot but it was great to be there...

This year, I had somebody give me 2 tickets for a game in August vs. the Royals. The seats were prime (between home & the Yankee dugout in the first tier, shaded seats) When I got the tickets, he told me they were for "Sunday the 16th" (of August) so... i talked my dad into going to the game with me, we got up stupid early and drove to the game... if you haven't been to Yankee Stadium, the sight of it alone is kind of a marvel, all the history etc... so i'm excited as hell.... we get to the turn style and hand over our tix.... the guy is like 'sorry, this is yesterday's ticket....' :wtf: it was sunday the 17th :doh: but when i got the tickets, the guy did say Sunday the 16th and I didnt pay attention to the calendar... and i didnt even look at the tickets til i got to the park.... yeah i got wned: but i'll never forget that day... we drove home (4+ hours) and listened to the game on the radio....
