Last Game at Yankee Stadium

Posted by M. Patel under Stadium 

As the last year of Yankee Stadium approaches, the Yankees are heading towards a new era with their exciting new pitching trio and a new manager. It’ll be sad to say goodbye to the stadium where so many memories have been formed and where the franchise has had unrivaled success. The last game that is played in the stadium will certainly be a moment to remember. Wouldn’t you expect the Yankees to play the final game at Yankee Stadium though? Well, that might not be happening. With the immense success of the first outdoor NHL game between the Sabres and Penguins, the NHL is looking in that direction more for next season, including a game involving the New York Rangers. The NHL is trying to cut a deal with the Yankees which would allow the Rangers to host a game at Yankee Stadium next winter, making that the last pro sporting event in the historic edifice. Many Yankee fans are unhappy with the possibility. I see where they are coming from because you would expect the Yanks to be the last to play in their stadium, but such an event certainly wouldn’t diminish the sentiment of the Yankees’ last game, or any game they played there for that matter. Personally, I am borderline on the whole issue. The deal isn’t set in stone just yet, as the Yankee organization has to accept such an offer so for those of you against this move, just keep praying :)
