Yankee Stadium sucks. We all know it. The place gives off the vibe of a ballpark facsimile, a baseball-themed Las Vegas casino. It’s concrete on concrete on steel, a corporate lighthouse for brands lost in the night, and it leaves the fans wanting something that feels a little bit more authentic. The Yankees just announced the stadium will undergo a few ‘enhancements’ in the offseason, and though they don’t fix much of anything about the ballpark, it might actually be a tiny, tiny step in the right direction. You just have to squint a bit.
According to an email sent out by the team, the Yankees are making these changes in order to include more family-friendly areas in the ballpark, as well as more socially-oriented spaces.
