It is super-exciting to watch live! Even at the rather soulless TD Banknorth Garden (aka the FleetCenter). But....this is YANKEE STADIUM. Would Wrigley Field be sent off with a football game? Should the Celtics get the final l'envoi at Fenway? It's just sacrilege. Justin, I actually do like hockey. It is super-exciting to watch live!

For a struggling league whose games have been relegated to the VS network, it's a positive step towards getting their audience back after the lockout. Again, I like hockey. But it's just completely out of place in Yankee Stadium. Justin, it makes perfect sense from the Rangers/NHL perspective.

The NHL will have ability to put a game in the most famous stadium in America. Also, it'll involve two original 6 teams. I understand some people don't like hockey because of what they've seen on tv. I bet you that however that 9 out of 10 people will grow to enjoy the game once they see it live for the first time. Also, what does it matter when the "House that Ruth built" is going to become a parking lot? Honestly, it isn’t that terrible of an idea.

Personally, I gave up on the Red Sox when they traded Cecil Cooper, and did not return to the fold until Lucchino announced that there was nothing wrong with Fenway Park (except the need for a few revisions) and that the Red Sox would stay there. Notice how everything started going well for the Red Sox after that. Can anyone now imagine the Red Sox playing anywhere else? Remember how the old gang were constantly bleating for a new stadium? This thing the Yankees are doing is dangerous and foolhardy and I believe they will regret it. The baseball/architecture theme has a lot of depth.

Maybe I should go up there and watch the Rangers game so that I can learn to love hockey. I’ve heard so many stories of people who learned to love baseball at Yankee Stadium.

It's hard to understand the decision to tear the place down. But now, as a Red Sox fan, I find myself wondering if, possibly, the simple act of trading Ruth to the Yankees earned the Red Sox such a long period of time in baseball purgatory, then what curse might fall on the Yankees after the monumentally stupid act of destroying the house that Ruth built? Maybe they will NEVER WIN ANOTHER WORLD SERIES! I learned to love baseball sitting in Yankee Stadium with my grandfather, watching Mickey Mantle, Whitey Ford, and Yogi Berra.

I can say without feeling traitorous to my Boston roots at all that the last game played at Yankee Stadium should be Red-Sox Yankees. It should go to extra innings after Derek Jeter makes a run-saving catch by diving into the stands in the bottom of the ninth. Mariano Rivera should then plunk David Ortiz in the butt in the 10th, precipitating a bench-clearing brawl in which A-Rod mashes his glove into Jason Varitek's face. Finally, in the bottom of the 19th inning, with New York suddenly down three runs, Jorge Posada should hit a grand slam off of Jonathan Papelbon. Clearly, that is the way to say good bye to Yankee Stadium. Nothing less will do. That’s just wrong.

That sentence is probably grammatically incorrect. Ironic considering what I do for a living. Though you are correct. Sarah, I have no skills in grammar.
