The Longines clock on the side of the shrine was our time keeper. The Stadium lost its guts when they redid it for some stupid reasons. I used to play on the ballfields, run track for Sacred Heart and Cardinal Hayes at Macombs, watch NYU play CCNY at Babe Ruth Field. Study the shuttle elevation that took Giants fans to the Polo Grounds. Most is underground, for what they call 'progress'. What about the history, the tradition? Gone! I agree with the local community groups, where are their ballfields going to be? There was no need for this plan. The way the area was laid out was perfect. What they should have done was to redo the old stadium to what the old stadium looked like, just remove the pillars, which was the 'reason' why they gutted it in 1975. "Money talks, nobody walks." Typically, those making the decisions don't live there.

I'm curious to see how they are going to configure the seating and sections. Does anyone know if there is a seating chart for the new stadium available yet?

Just look at the nationals park behind homeplate, no one is there and if they are, they are just talking to each other and never watching the game. I just hope the New Stadium will not become a quiet smaller park like there is at Nationals with all of the rich white collar workers anyone else agree The new stadium looks and seems to be awesome but i am nervous about all of the high priced seats because that would only be for the Rich.
