Went to the Ballpark in the Bronx yesterday. My last visit to Yankee Stadium, my "Field of Dreams" since my first visit in 1965. I got the same goosebumps with my first glimpse of the outfield grass yesterday that I did with my first glimpse of it as an 8-year-old.
A nice 6-3 victory, a pleasant drive to and from with my buddy from work, and some bittersweet feelings as we took our last look at the place where I once saw Mickey Mantle play.
I don't care HOW many bells and whistles the new place has...it just won't be the same.

I'm glad you got to see it once more.
I still have to see the Mets, whether it's Shea or the new park, so I'll check with you when that happens. Maybe we can do both parks next summer.
