Great write-up -- and good news. This seems correctable with some seat loss. Much easier to move fences than reconfigure the freize, the open air configuration, and slope of the upper decks.

As some of us have been saying all along...
(BTW normally never trust weather forecasters with aerodynamics. But this time it's okay.)

Curious.. for anyone who really knows the stadium. Can someone approximate how many seats would be lost be moving the fence to match the old stadium and extending the hight as well to match?
I'd say Damon has hit at least 3 or 4 there already.
Ive been there 3x so far and they'd probably lose around 5 rowsOriginally Posted by darrencp22
Dumb & Dumber
The Damon homer last night was a clear example of that article.
this is complete BS, its combo of wind/new shape of stadium. At time of this post its 105 homers hit in the stadium, the article can only speak of 19% roughly 20 homers hit. What about the other 85?????
accuweather is just low, so low they want to grab headlines like this
The real reason why the Yankees keep winning is cause the other team can't stop staring at the damn pinstripes
The seats that would be most affected by pushing the fences back never have anyone in them anyway.

Most of the home runs that I have seen to right field have been absolute bombs, and would have been home runs just about anywhere.

Just leave the stadium alone ... it's not like the yanks have an advantage anyways. Don't we have a sub .500 record at home ?

So if the Yankees would benefit from a change, they should ignore it?
No they are well above .500 at home.

“I love to hit. I want to hit .300, .400, .500. I just love to hit.”
NOOO really???
I guess you didnt see the illustration
Let me ask something: is it really that bad if the new Yankee Stadium is a home run park? Wouldn't that benefit a team with our style of play? If that were the case, why on earth would we want to stop something that would benefit us?
92% of people copy and paste their signature from someone else. If you are part of the 8% who don't, then copy and paste this into your signature.
19% is a lot and helps... there ony so much you can do and addresses dimensions is the quickest easiest solution. I think it takes it from being a joke to a home run park.
BTW, no offense, but i'll take metorologists opinions on wind more than a board poster who thinks hes an expert.
Accuweather can't even tell us what the weather will be in 15 minutes. We're supposed to listen to them for reasons why Home Runs are hit?
If I had 3 wishes... One of my wishes would be to make a select few of you Pirates Fans.
What are you talking about? The lower deck in the outfield is full of reasonably priced seats, and is full for just about every game that I've seen.
No sh*t--reasonable people.

I think he means the ones infron of the bleachers in RF. The problem is from CF to RF

The front few rows of the Field Level Outfield are $150 and, as you move further back, decrease in price to $95. I don't think this pricing is exorbitant, but it also wouldn't fall under the reasonable category (just my opinion).
As for that section being full, I have to disagree. I've been to many games this season and have been shocked by how many empty seats there have been in that specific section. It may be hard to see in the photo below; however, most of the other sections are full while there are vast swaths of empty seats in that specific section. I would post a larger image; however, I don't want to mess-up this board.
The seats just behind the auxiliary scoreboard always seem to be pretty empty. How much are they?? That is the part of the park that needs to be moved back.......IMO.The front few rows of the Field Level Outfield are $150 and, as you move further back, decrease in price to $95.

I think those (behind the scoreboard) are $150 and go down to $95 as you move further back. It works out that they are empty as, otherwise, we would have more people reaching over and causing more homerun reviews.
Now, compare those with the old stadium:
While you didn't have the exact same seats, comparable seats would have been in the Bleachers for $12!
I'm no expert but I do play on on tv

They go for @ $100 ea, when 20 ft behind that the bleachers are $11. Thats the section that needs to be moved back with a higher wall. Hopefully this winter the Yanks correct it
Dumb & Dumber
I used to sit in the $12 bleacher seats that are about $100 now. Those are great seats, but not worth the money they are charging now.
And on the thought of the fences being closer - The Times had a feature after opening weekend, complete with graphics, comparing the new and old stadium fences. If you have been to both stadiums, one can definitely tell on first look that the fences in the power alleys are closer.

I didnt realize they raised prices that much, geez
