Today I read an article about Yankee Stadium. As many of you know, Yankee Stadium is going to be torn down after this baseball season is over.
The memories will never die, just the house of all of those great memories. In this article it talked about the spectacular events that occurred at Yankee Stadium. Such as Babe Ruth hitting a home run in the first game every played in the park or when President George W. Bush threw the ceremonial first pitch in game three of the World Series in 2001, which was just a little more than a month after the 9/11 attacks. In the article it also talks about the other events, not relating to baseball, that have occurred there. Such as Pope Benedict XVI, Paul VI, and John Paul II each gave speeches on the field or the boxing championships that have happened there. Yankee Stadium has been renovated and updated throughout its life, but all of the memories that happened there are still within the walls and seats of the stadium.

Are they building a new stadium over the old one? I didn't even know it was being torn down. Did the new one have the jersey stuck in the cement? or was that a different stadium?
they are building a new stadium right next to the old one. I was just in new york and i went to a yankees game and the new stadium looks almost exactly like the old one, but just nicer inside. I am not sure about the jersey thing, but i think there was a boston red socks jersey in the cement.
