Both of New York teams will have new stadiums in 2009. Mets: Citi Field which was inspired by Ebbets Field..?

Question

and Yankees will have the new Yankee Stadium. Which stadium will probably be getting more attention by reporters? Or maybe they will get similar reviews?

Answer 1

I think Citi Field is getting more attention by reporters now, but when they come out it will probably be around the same.

Answer 2

Yankee Stadium is Yankee Stadium.

Along with Wrigley and Fenway, Yankee Stadium is considered one of the most historic parks in baseball history. Citi Field won't get as much attention just because it is in New York as is the Yankees new stadium.

Answer 3

In my opinion the new Yankee Stadium will get more attention. Unlike the Yankees the Mets sold out to corporate America by letting Citibank buy the rights to naming the stadium.

Answer 4

Citi Field

The new Mets stadium is planned to have a capacity of 45,000 (~ 41,000 seats, ~ 4,000 standing room) and have an exterior facade reminiscent of Ebbets Field (a feature also at Coors Field and Safeco Field, which was long sought by Mets owner Fred Wilpon, a Brooklyn native) with an interior that many have stated evokes design features of recent ballparks, most notably Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore. The projected cost of the new stadium and other infrastructure improvements is $610 million, with the Mets picking up $420 million of that amount. The agreement includes a 40-year lease that will keep the Mets in New York until 2049. The stadium will be accessible via the Long Island Rail Road (Shea Stadium station) and the New York City Subway 7 train (Willets Point-Shea Stadium station), as the current facility is. On March 18, 2006, the New York Mets unveiled the official model for the new stadium. By July 2006, initial construction of the new park was underway in the parking lot beyond left-field, with a hopeful finish in time for Opening Day 2009 in late March of that year.

New Yankee Staidum

The new stadium's design, by HOK Sport, consists of two separate structures. The exterior will be a wall circling the perimeter of the Yankees' new property, and will resemble the pre-renovation exterior of the original Yankee Stadium. The interior will be a modern ballpark, with increased modern amenities that have become a staple of every new ballpark since Oriole Park at Camden Yards opened in 1992. It will feature a replica of the copper frieze (facade), that lined the inner wall of Yankee Stadium's upper deck until 1973. This lining was torn down during the 1974–75 renovations. A replica of this frieze lines the portion of the original structure that was removed during those renovations, beyond the outfield wall. It is above the bleachers and faces River Avenue. The Yankees use this frieze as a marketing tool on television and in print, and have allowed the sporting-goods chain Modell's to use it, too.

Between the perimeter wall and the stadium will be an area that those in the Yankee organization are calling a "great hall," which would feature more than one million square feet of retail space, a significant increase from Yankee Stadium.

The field's dimensions will be identical to those at Yankee Stadium and at the Legends Field spring training / minor league baseball facility in Tampa, Florida. The new stadium will seat 51,000 fans, compared with 57,545 in Yankee Stadium (although that number does not include seating in luxury boxes). The new stadium's seating will be spaced outward in a bowl, rather than upward in stacked tiers, placing most fans further away from the field. Field-level seats will be near 30,000, compared with 20,000 in Yankee Stadium, and about 20,000 seats in the upper deck. Although nothing has been officially announced, the design of the new upper deck appears to have two distinct (and likely differently priced) sections, similar to the current Tier Box closer to the field and the Tier Reserve. There will be half as many bleacher seats as Yankee Stadium's 7,500, but 1,000 standing room spots will be added. In addition, there will be 60 luxury boxes between the two decks, replacing the loge section of the current stadium. Yankee Stadium has 16 luxury boxes, around both sides of the press box, which is directly behind home plate. It has also been proposed to construct a retractable roof for the new stadium which will allow for games to be played under inclement weather conditions.

Monument Park, which features the Yankees' retired numbers, five freestanding monuments, and a few dozen plaques dedicated to some of the Yankees' great players and managers (and Yankee Stadium visitors) beyond the left-center field wall, would be relocated to the new stadium. Based on designs revealed in 2005, the new Monument Park will be in center field, situated under a restaurant covered in black tinted glass, which would serve as the batter's eye.

Budget : 800 Million.

Based on those facts, Shea is suppoused to be like Coors Field, Ebbets Field, and Candems Yards.

Based on things I have read the New Yankee Staidum is suppoused to kick @$# and be better then Citi Field.

The Yankees have the best press coverage in all of baseball so of coure they would get more publicty and reporters then Shea.

Answer 5

the point of hatred could stay the comparable. another city has been getting new ballparks so this is not as though the long island communities can are becoming theirs' *first* in this style of way which could look to point out "we are able to have the money for to construct new parks using fact we've so lots extra $$$$$ than all you different small marketplace communities." what did NYC do to anybody permit me answer this for you. jointly as "traveling" there one weekend final fall my buddy took my motor vehicle and parked it on the line the place her buddy that replace into dwelling in Brooklyn, advised her it replace into all right to park it. as quickly as I went to my motor vehicle it replace into ticketed for being "6 ft from a fireplace hydrant" It replace into extra suitable than 6 ft from the hydrant. using fact i'm 5'eleven" tall and mendacity on the pavement on the factor of the hydrant there replace into yet another 2 ft previous me to the place the bumper of my motor vehicle replace into. So devoid of any tape diploma accessible, we took photos of me mendacity on the floor and submitted them by making use of mail to refute the value ticket. in spite of each and every little thing I wasn't going to stay in NYC to pass to courtroom and attempt and combat it. while the precis judgement opposed to me got here back it stated that the regulation replace into that a motor vehicle had to be 15 ft from a hydrant! isn't that handy, that the area in a manner replaced!!!! What do they attempt and do, parallel park the fireplace vans while they arrive at a place it rather is burning? Or interior the large conspiracists' minds, could or not this is that I have been given ticketed using fact my license plates have been from Ohio and the Cleveland Indians have been kicking the Yankees out of the AL playoffs that very nighttime? notwithstanding the case might nicely be, i quite do not think of that i replace into dealt with justly by making use of any sort of the NYC authorities. Oh yeah, paying that value ticket wasn't what you will call much less high priced the two. yet i'm not bitter. And in case you beleive that then i've got have been given bridges and swamp land on the marketplace.
