| O&A Board Regular Registered: Mar. 01 | well, my bet is the yankees will knock down Yankees Stadium, but keep the foundation, so they can technicly still be the original Yankee Stadium, and build a new stadium that looks more like the classic Yankee Stadium, but has all the new fangled thingies everyone seems to love....i think then they will get the ASG again. | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Apr. 01 | The Brewers have Ben Sheets, Jeff D'Amico, Jeremy Burnitz, Rickie Sexton. All of these guys can make it to the ASG. And unicron, the Flyers have a whole line that could go to the NHL ASG, which i think needs to go back to the East vs. West format. | ||||

Those other guys are decent players, besides D'Amico, who was good last year but horrible this year, but those guys are definitely not allstar potential compared to everyone else who is.

North America has so much more depth than the World, deserving North Americans dont go to the All Star Game because the World Team has to be filled out with undeserving guys.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | The yankees hosted the all star game shortly after redoing the stadium in the late 70's...it looks like the yanks are gonna get a new retactable dome stadium within the next 6-10 years, so my bet is they will host it after that new stadium is built. same thing goes for the mets who also are probably gonna have a new stadium in the near future. remembering everything you've said Your silence gets us nowhere Gets us nowhere too fast Anyone else wanting to be adopted IM me at Jemo123 | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: May. 00 | Borough President Fernando Ferrer, recognizing the current and future needs of Yankee Stadium and its environs, proposes the creation of Yankee Village, a plan to revitalize and reinvigorate the stadium area for the benefit of fans, residents and the City of New York. http://www.bpferrer.org/Yankees/   The Yankee Village Plan, prepared by Beyer Blinder Belle Architects & Planners LLP in concert with Borough President Ferrer, features a restored and modernized stadium, major access and parking improvements, a revitalized neighborhood and a year-round regional shopping complex. Beyer Blinder Belle has infused the Yankee Village Plan, which was initially developed through a community based planning process, with fresh ideas and an innovative design concept. This report presents the plan and also seeks to shed the myths and hyperbole surrounding the Yankee Stadium debate. The plan's combined features will offer characteristics of two highly successful recreational settings, the USTA National Tennis Center in Queens and the Chelsea Piers in Manhattan. Summary of Yankee Village Master Plan Yankee Village is a retail, recreational and sports entertainment complex which will transform historic Yankee Stadium into a state-of-the-art ballpark meeting all of the team's expressed needs, while comprehensively revitalizing the area and creating a regional destination shopping center. The plan will restore Yankee Stadium's majesty and grandeur, upgrade the ballpark with modern amenities, and leverage the real estate potential of its central location through large scale development that includes: Two major activity nodes: Yankee Stadium A regional "big box" retail complex at the Bronx Terminal Market site. A covered pedestrian bridge lined with shops and services linking the stadium with all facilities. Commercial revitalization on adjacent streets to improve the surrounding neighborhood. Separate, dedicated parking for the stadium and the regional shopping center. Major highway and street access improvements for easy approach to and egress from the parking facilities for both Yankee Stadium and the shopping center. Renovation of the excellent community parks surrounding Yankee Stadium. A new waterfront park. Attractive pedestrian bridges and plazas connecting Stadium entry with Metro-North Station, ferry terminal and several parking garages, with links to the retail complex and waterfront park. A sports entertainment center atop garage adjacent to stadium, with batting cages, virtual reality machines, gymnastic equipment, sports oriented retail and restaurants. More specific details of the Yankee Village are delineated below. Yankee Stadium Enhancements: Restore the stadium exterior to its original ornate facade. Expand footprint with new 40-foot wide pedestrian concourse, enclosed by a transparent glass outer wall creating a panoramic view of parks, Manhattan and waterfront. Renovate and reconfigure the interior to modern standards with over 50,000 seats,120 luxury suite, new seating and a new scoreboard. New spectator services including additional modernized, larger restrooms. Yankee Hall of Fame in relocated Babe Ruth Plaza, with interactive displays and other technological exhibits. New stadium club with terraced dining at left field. Lower stadium wall height along River Avenue to allow stadium vista from elevated train platform. Road Access and Parking Improvements: Widen and/or realign access and exit ramps from Major Deegan Expressway Construct exits from the Harlem River Drive to the 145th Street Bridge to relieve congestion on the Major Deegan Expressway. Direct traffic one way on the Macombs Dam (155th Street) and 145th Street Bridges at game time, eastbound before and westbound after games for better coordinated flow. Highway improvements linking Macombs Dam and 145th Street bridges to new garages. 10,340 dedicated parking spaces in six new or expanded facilities. "VIP" garage with direct access from Macombs Dam Bridge and direct entry to Stadium. Rapid exit from garages, with designated access and egress routes, and comprehensive intelligent transportation systems to guide motorists into and out of parking facilities. Public Transportation Improvements: A new Metro-North commuter rail station located virtually at the stadium gate to service suburban fans. A brightly lit, refurbished IND/IRT subway station with convenient linkage to stadium (renovation in progress). An expanded, improved landing for ferry service from Manhattan, New Jersey and other points with connection to stadium by enclosed bridge/galleria. Improved Pedestrian Access: Attractive pedestrian circulation passage linking stadium to Metro-North station, ferry terminal, garages, Yankee Hall of Fame, retail complex and waterfront park. Atrium over Metro-North station to serve as a hub for pedestrian circulation. Neighborhood Revitalization: Redesigned and landscaped public plazas around the stadium. A park and new ballfields over a parking deck just west of the stadium. Commercial revitalization accompanied by retail development (175-200,000 square feet of sports entertainment, 50,000 square feet of sports-related retail and 50,000 square feet of ancillary stores/restaurants), creating an estimated 500 jobs. Streetscape enhancement along River Avenue and 161st Street with new lighting, right-of-way improvements, paving and rebuilt retail facades. A new waterfront park adjacent to retail center. Renovation of Mullaly, Macombs, Kilmer and Siegal Parks. Creation of a Regional Shopping Center: A key feature of the Yankee Village Plan is the redevelopment of the dilapidated and underutilized Bronx Terminal Market as a regional destination retail center with dedicated parking facilities. The plan will transform 32 acres of prime property into an attractive and vibrant regional retail district, providing up to 450,000 square feet of commercial space with a ready market owing to its proximity to Yankee Stadium, Manhattan and surrounding suburban counties. This destination retail center will serve a year round market with sports related anchors such as Sports Authority or Modells. The inclusion of sports themed restaurants, batting cages and other sports related entertainment, will create year-round appeal, independent of the 81 day baseball season. This development will generate up to 1,350 new jobs. Negative Myths about Yankee Stadium's Neighborhood Must be Corrected This section of the report addresses and corrects misconceptions which, along with adverse publicity, perpetuate a negative image of The Bronx. Crime: Contrary to the prevailing image, minimal crime and virtually no serious felonies occur during stadium events. Scalping is the major offense. Attendance: Ticket sales for all teams correlate strongly with performance. The Yankees have surpassed records on the field and at the gate during this American League East Championship season. Access: Yankee Stadium's existing access network via automobile, subway and commuter rail will benefit from improved flow to expanded parking facilities. Revenues: The Yankees earn by far the highest total revenues and media receipts in baseball; claims that The Bronx is not a profitable location are spurious. There is No Merit to Building a Stadium for the Yankees in Manhattan A Manhattan stadium would demand higher prices, with city taxpayers subsidizing corporate suites, luxury boxes and season passes for the primary benefit of private interests. A West Side stadium would exacerbate, not alleviate, parking and access concerns. The project would divert public capital funds and incur debt while contributing relatively little to the gross city product and generating few jobs. Feasibility of the West Side site is threatened by likely litigation from community opponents and environmentalists and by possible site contamination. It is Bad Public Policy to Strip Mine the Outer Boroughs in Favor of Manhattan New Yorkers overwhelmingly support the team's remaining in The Bronx. Huge public funds would only serve to further enrich baseball's most profitable and valuable franchise, a windfall for private interests at the expense of small businesses and taxpayers. Yankee Village is a win-win situation for fans, for taxpayers and for all New Yorkers In conclusion, the Yankee Village Plan creates a fan-friendly atmosphere with recreation and shopping adjacent to the stadium, generating economic benefits for the entire city through extensive ancillary commercial improvements. The Bronx Terminal Market site is ideally located to stem the leakage of retail sales to the suburbs and also to import spending from residents of neighboring counties, owing to its proximity and access to Manhattan, southern Westchester, northern New Jersey and the adjacent civic center. Urban renewal is an established public purpose. An integrated plan to rebuild and stabilize an economically weak neighborhood with the stadium as its centerpiece, generating almost 2000 jobs, intrinsically merits public expenditure. A Manhattan stadium would cost more than twice as much as Yankee Village and would have severe negative impacts on the West Side. The Yankee Village Plan is the only viable option that meets all the team's needs, the overall public interest and the interest of the host community. The Yankees will have an architecturally outstanding, modern stadium with the added luxury suites and club seats its owners so strongly desire. Transportation improvements will enhance Yankee Stadium's accessibility from throughout the metropolitan region. Government investment in the Yankees will serve the public economic interest by providing an economic stimulus for The Bronx and generating new sales tax dollars by drawing consumers to a new regional shopping venue.
