Dismantling of the old Yankee Stadium set for March 15, old Stadium Tours over

I don't typically link articles, but since this is the quiet season for NYYSI, I will link to this piece by the NY Daily News about the final tour at the old Yankee Stadium being given. It is a must read due to the buzz word "nostalgia" in the article. Nostalgia? Yankees? Yankee Stadium? No way.

No word on when the tours of the NEW Stadium will begin, but I would assume there won't be too much of a delay after the new digs are complete. That is free money and the Yankees are a money-making machine. This article cites March 15 as the start date for demolition of the old Stadium, which flies in the face of information that blog nemesis Peter Abraham mentioned a couple of days ago.

Tours of the "old" Yankee Stadium Still available...

This comes courtesy of River Ave Blues and NY1. It appears the Yankees have opened up some more Yankee Stadium Tour slots (they have nothing else going on in the Stadium this October).

I checked out the Ticketmaster.com page for the Yankee Stadium tour, and while select dates showed as active "events", I could not locate tickets. Perhaps there was a "River Ave Blues effect" and the tickets for the remaining tours sold out quickly.

If you really want to check out the "House That Ruth Built" before they tear it down, you can probably check out Stub Hub and Craigs List.

As I mentioned yesterday, New Stadium tours have not been announced yet.

Update: Here is another link (from the NY Post) about the Stadium Tours resuming.
