I'm shaking off the January blahs. And if you'd like to as well, check this out:

Ballpark Demolition Videos

You'll be able to kill a half an hour and get to see the demise of all those depressing donut-parks (plus one sad classic). It's a very cool collection.

"You talk about the magic, the aura, but what really makes a stadium is the fans. Concrete doesn't talk back to you. Chairs don't talk back to you. It's the people who are there, day in, day out, that makes the place magic."

– Bernie Williams

The entrances are all the way around on the other side.

Suite level view

Staircase entrance. You cannot miss them.

Looking out from under Gate 34

A closer look into the park from down the street. How great will this view be during a game??

Plaza extension reaches toward First Avenue

Stairs down to the sidewalk from the skywalk over Seventh

Oh, nevermind.

Still some work to be done on the canopy.

Some details are visible here, like the back of an escalator.

Opening Day 2008 (By Currier & Ives)

Trampled, repaired, and re-trampled grass

Lots of sun, but not much scoreboard from 127

Trees also have sprouted near the topiaries

Denard Span ready, in a swoop of sunlight.

This is what I was working on while my photo was taken (click to see a VERY BIG version).

This is as close as I could get to a pedestrian-eye view of Seventh Street (looking west away from downtown). It's inviting, not imposing, and remarkably dignified.
