With Baseball On The Cusp

To All Red Sox Nation, wherever you may be & NY Mets Fans, the TWO Groups of Fans who DESPISE The NY Yankees the Most, just click on the title, for you will see the ULTIMATE Destruction:

The site under demolition is actually the Prior Yankee Stadium, known as Yankee Stadium II. WHY do I call it Yankee Stadium II? WHERE did the Yankees play in 1974 & 1975? In reality, there was no continuous Yankee Stadium from 1923 to 2008. The 1st Yankee Stadium only existed from April, 1923 until September 30th, 1973. Then Yankee Stadium II opened in April, 1976 & actually closed in February, 2009 when the Team Offices moved across the street into Yankee Stadium III. But the last ever Yankee Stadium II Game was in September, 2008;

The Drama Queens at ESPN televised the last ever game from Yankee Stadium II. While it was NOT the same stadium as the one which opened in 1923, Media Types treated it as one continuous site, despite the fact that two different stadiums operated at West 161st Street & River Avenue;

In fact, Shea Stadium operated continuously from April of 1964 until the end of September of 2008, seeing more use(& in the case of 1975, serving as home field for The Mets, Yankees, NY Jets & NY Giants) in its' time than Yankee Stadium II ever did. Except for NY Cosmos North American Soccer League Regular Season Games in 1976 & Three NY Jets Exhibition Games(1 With The NY Giants who once called Yankee Stadium I Home). Yankee Stadium II did serve as a House of Worship, as the Site of Two Papal Masses(1979 & 2008) as well as for a gathering of Religious Leaders in regards to mourning those who perished at the World Trade Center on 09/11/01. But Yankee Stadium II was noted for being a Baseball Home almost exclusively, whereas Shea Stadium saw action with The Mets from Start to finish, The Yankees in 1974 & 1975 as well as for 1 Home Game in 1998(Jeter was in the 1998 Home Game of an Historic Day Night Two League Doubleheader, played in the same stadium, with one game including the Designated Hitter & One Game without the DH), The NY J-E-T-S, Jets from September 1964 until December of 1983 & the NY Giants from October, 1975 until December of 1975. The NY Cosmos North American Soccer League Playoff Game with Washington was played before 25K at Shea Stadium in August, 1976. The American Soccer League NY United(Apollos) played their 1980 Season at Shea Stadium. At Shea on October 3rd, 1979, His Holiness Pope John Paul II was hosted at Shea Stadium by The RC Diocese Of Brooklyn. He came in through the Shea Centerfield Fence, passing through what currently is Citi Field, when it was Shea's Parking Lot;

Shea Stadium saw more action in its' continuous time than Yankee Stadium II ever did. Shea was voted on MTV as the favorite concert location of all time. It got more use than Yankee Stadium II ever did. There were two different architects for Yankee Stadium I & II. In fact, Stadium II had the same architect firm as did Shea Stadium;

The ONLY thing OLD about Yankee Stadium II was its' outer shell, as everything inside of it was a new stadium, which operated from 1976 until 2008 as an arena. Shea was continuous, whereas Yankee Stadium I & II were not continuous;

Shea Stadium hosted 45 Seasons of MLB-NL & 2 Seasons + 1 other Game of MLB-AL. It Hosted 6 Seasons of AFL Football, 14 Seasons of NFL(AFC) & 1 Season of NFL(NFC). It hosted 1 NASL Playoff Game & 1 Full Season of ASL. It hosted Rock Concerts & other Things. Shea Stadium was OLDER & More-Used Than Stadium II;

Yankee Stadium-1923 to 2008? Surely The Yankees & Major League Baseball do jest, for the site is NOT CONTINUOUS;
