I remember after 9-11 and seeing the fatal choices those people had to make at the top of the wtc ,
and then being in the upper deck behind home plate and thinking what if? what if something happens and I gotta get out of here asap and you know my answer ... jump down on to the screen below and then climb down the fence and then run out on to the field and through the outfield gates ...
of course, I was hoping I would jump first before the weight of other knuckleheads jumping would collapse the screen.

but still, if there ever was a fast moving,smokey grease fire that engulfed one of those concession kitchens and maybe spread to a big pile of boxes in a storage room,
on a windy day with a packed stadium, that concourse and the entry/exits to the seats would make for a smokey wind tunnel;
there would be fatalities, not from the smoke but from the stampede to get away from the smoke.
how many seats were in the upper deck,both box and tier reserve? 25,000 maybe
how many exits? 8 ramps, 4 of those very close together behind home plate and 3 narrow escalators/stair cases.

The one problem I have with the new stadium is that the Yankees don't play there nearly enough!

Re: Things I don't like about the new stadium
i have to admit though, even though the moat is there, during the post game celebration, most fans were allowed to go all the way to separation even if you didnt have tickets in the section to get close. in the old stadium, you wouldve been shot had you tried to get that close.

Re: Things I don't like about the new stadium
I have to bump this thread for this... I'm going to preface this by saying I think NYS is beautiful and has a lot of unique features.. but this photo is taken from the New Target Field in Minnesota...
Does this look familiar to anyone? It's a little sad that a concourse of Yankee Stadium is EXACTLY the same as another stadium in baseball... it just shows how generic some parts of the stadium are and that the upper deck had no character

NYS will have fans in those seats, Target field probably won't.
