I agree with the landmark commenter...YS should be an American landmark whose history and significance in American Sports entertainment should be leveraged by the local politicians to put the south Bronx in the map for those visiting the city. It should be turned into a Yankees museum!

Mr. Mel, the Yankees would (and did) suck as much if Torre were still manager. Fire Girardi. Fire Cashman. Dump every player with and expiring contract. Trade any player without a no-trade clause. Use the spare cash to buy the entire Tampa Bay Rays team.

It was probably remodeled so much in '76 that it no longer qualifies for landmark status. A fun place to visit, but I won't miss crowded walkways, cruddy bathrooms and uncomfortable seats. I also won't pay big $ next year to see the Yanks. I'll just have to depend on the kindness of business associates.

How is it possible that Yankee Stadium is not land marked? There are so many other structures in the city most people have never heard of and have a small fraction of the stadium's history that are land marked. Let the curse of the Babe begin.

Of course this has nothing to do with Joe Torre not being there.
