The stadium is not historic enough to be preserved? Tell that to all the citizens of NYC who’ve been dragged through the bureaucratic wringer for wanting to make alterations to properties they own that are seriously less “historic” than the “House That Ruth Built”. What’s really criminal is that it wasn’t that long ago that the city spent large dollars renovating the stadium. The problem with the stadium is not an engineering problem, but the serial greed of sports franchise owners, who, with the cooperation of their political cronies, have been sticking it to taxpayers everywhere for decades.
