   This is a beautiful day…the sod gets laid a Yankees Stadium and the Red Sox have a shot of getting eliminated. can not get much better than that.

   This is not Yankee Stadium.

   This is New Yankee Stadium.

   There is only one Yankee Stadium.

   bodhisattva,

   Yes, and it was destroyed during the remodeling. Time to move on.

    Just seems weird to lay sod this time of year. It may snow soon. A guy I work with thinks it may be a union thing that they’re taking a shot at laying it now.

    Looks beautiful though!

    Yay, grass.

    Just checked out the rest of the pics, between the seats and the sprinklers and most of the field just about done, it looks like it’s really starting to come together.

    Hopefully this time next year the field will be painted for that nights game
