That Took Care Of That

When we last saw Old Yankee Stadium in August 2009 it looked like this:

After checking in to make sure there was still something left to visit, we decided to go at least one last time to capture the demolition process:

Also nice to see that they finally opened the long awaited running track (on top of a parking garage) that replaced what was formerly on the site of New Yankee Stadium:

While they’re still taking apart the old stadium, you can get good views of it from what I’m calling “New Joseph Yancey Track and Field” (the aforementioned running track) — “New” because just like “Old” Yankee Stadium there was also an “Old” Joseph Yancey Track and Field — and the upper levels of the 153rd Street Garage (the one directly south of Old Yankee Stadium — one stairwell, the one closest to River Avenue, was open yesterday when I went).

Oh, and someone needs to fix this (just when you get a chance!):
