From a team like the A’s, where the owner is counting pennies every day, and seldom improves the team on the field to be at least competitive, and now playing in a foreign stadium not able to at least sellout one game yet during the first two months of the season, to the New York Yankees, arguably the most famous sports franchise in American professional sports.

Here, the Yanks are making news. New York Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner announced $6.4 billion stadium renovation project that will redefine arena standards to deliver a world-class experience for fans. In a groundbreaking announcement that has sent shock waves through the sports world, New York Yankees managing general partner “This ambitious project aims to completely redefine the standards in the arena and deliver a world-class experience for fans, players, and the entire baseball community.” -said the owner.

Here are some of the improvements. Cutting-edge seating with enhanced sightlines and comfort Immersive digital experiences and interactive fan zones Expanded dining and hospitality options featuring local and international cuisines sustainable design elements to reduce environmental impact Upgraded player facilities inspired by the recent Steinbrenner Field renovations Yankee fans are among the most opinionated in all of baseball.

Here are some of their responses on the internet: After hearing Hal Steinbrenner’s announcement, many Yankee fans reacted this way— “How about putting a roof?” —“We need that money instead to get the players to take us to another World Series title:” — ” Take a billion off and go get some A-list players instead”—. “We are fine the way the stadium is.” “Stadiums fine, sign a few starters and a 3B”— Can you please make it easier to find the parking garage?! I’m still lost in the Bronx.” —Yeah, and then make it that much harder to go to a game because it’ll be more expensive.”

Anecdote: In the 2000 World Series, the New York Yankees played the New York Mets, which was the first Subway Series in New York since 1956. I was contacted by LBC (Latino Broadcasting Corporation, based in Miami) to do the play-by-play with my friend and colleague, Eduardo Ortega, of the San Diego Padres.

We went onto the streets just outside the Hyatt Hotel in Manhattan, armed with a recorder, and gathered opinions from Yankees and Mets fans alike. It was typical New York, with some very colorful language that our producer-engineer, Armando Talavera, had to edit later at the stadium before the game for our pregame. The Yankees won the series 4 games to 1. They were defending World Champions and won their third in a row.
