  told to keep it down at the Stadium - from Bostonsucks.net - For the past few weeks Yankee Stadium security has banned all insulting or derogatory chanting from the bleachers. The banning spawned from an incident when the Yankees were playing the Mets and someone made an anti-Semitic remark to the Mets Jewish right fielder, Shawn Green. A

  security guards at Yankee Stadium regularly questioned fans arriving with StubHub envelopes. A New York state law passed in 2005 essentially legalized reselling by allowing ticket holders to sell their seats for a maximum of 45 percent over face value. Fewer than a dozen states still have antiscalping laws on the books. StubHub itself has

  face-painters into the Stadium these days. Hearing this, it makes me wonder if Yankee Stadium is now using digital surveillance photos to analyze facial characteristics, etc., in order to try and spot/stop bad guys. It's either that, or, the team is about to ink a sponsorship deal with Maybelline to be the official Kabuki paint of the New

Therefore, it's not like the team has a 105-year tradition of playing exclusively at Yankee Stadium. Would it be the end of the world if the team decided to call the new digs (that are

  BoingBoing:I went to Yankee Stadium last night and was surprised that everyone entering the stadium is asked if they have a cell phone. If yes, then they are asked to take it out and turn it on. Why? I'm not sure, but boy do I feel safer knowing that everyone in the stadium has charged cell phone batteries!Yankee Stadium Security Policy site

  equivalent of 79% of the new stadium's 53,000- person capacity over 81 regular-season home games. Given that the Yankees sold 90% of their tickets last year, 88% in 2005, and are on pace for another 90% showing in 2007, it's hard to imagine ticket sales sagging when the new stadium opens. Also, the ticket-and-suite figures don't include two other

  sign that's at Yankee Stadium in back of the right field bleachers? In the last 32 years, that sign space has been used by many different advertisers. If I recall correctly, the first sign in that big space was for Manufacturers Hanover and it was fashioned like a N.Y. License Plate (at that time) with an orange background and blue

  weekend for our yearly Busch Stadium trip -- it has to be better than last year's -- and we wanted to get back in the spirit of Busch. Thankfully, Joe Sports Fan obliged us. Goddamn, the awesomeness of the Busch Stadium mullet. (We also dig the beads.) We think this might be Rick Sutcliffe's brother. Staying Cool, But Classy, In The Summer Heat

  we cabbed it directly to the stadium, and, sadly, missed Ankiel's first at-bat. But we hung in, and then the eighth inning came, and then ... well, you saw it. We're not gonna get all emotional here, because we figure we've already exhausted your patience will all this, so just a few notes from the night. • Ankiel is wearing No. 24.

  our yearly visit to Busch Stadium coincided with Ankiel's first games as a Cardinals outfielder. After the jump, a mostly incomplete and fuzzy report of our trip, specifically Saturday's game, in which Ankiel hit two homers and a middle-aged woman nearly stuck her finger in our anus.
