45,700 LEGO Pieces for LEGO Yankee Stadium

We may be bidding farewell to Yankee Stadium, but there is a new (old) Yankee Stadium emerging: LEGO artist Sean Kenney, along with help from a grade schooler, has been working on a replica of the stadium for the past few years. He writes, "It will be complete in the next few months; these preview photos give you an in-progress look at the sculpture. The sculpture is 5 feet wide and 5 feet long, built to an approximate scale of 1:150."

Kenney designed the awesome Brick Apple--and check out his LEGO version of Greenwich Village and his Empire State Building is on display at the real Empire State Building.

Great to hear that Sean's still doing these amazing Lego creations... I wasn't sure if he was still doing them after not seeing an update on The Brick Apple for a while.

And to the hecklers: Seriously, get a life. The guy's doing something he loves.

To the guys making the "he needs a girlfriend" and the "he needs a job" comments: guess what, fools. He has a girlfriend, and that IS his job, which pays him well into the six figures. Can you top that? I don't think so.
