great timing AA. I was JUST about to send you an e-mail...what do you think more people are going to watch sunday night:

a) orioles / yankees
b) cowboys / packers

i've been a yankee fan since i was a kid (going back to 77-78). but with the way this season has turned out, i'm not sure if i want to bother watching the yankee game. had it been the last game of the season, maybe. odds are they will lose anyway, fitting end to a crap season.

plus i don't want to listen to the bbtn crew and miller/morgan.

As a Yankee die-hard, I feel I'm obligated to watch the final game at the Stadium, but I don't really want to. In terms of just the game, Cowboys-Packers is far more compelling -- but Yankees-Orioles will need to be priority one, unfortunately. Closing the Stadium on an NFL Sunday = bad move.

And this will be different from the day-to-day ESPN programming how?

Shoot. Me. Now.

This is great. I like the history stuff. Joe Morgan calling the final game is a slap in the face though.

Why isn't game 6 from the 2004 ALCS on that list?

I find it funny that the New Yankee Stadium is pretty much the same thing across the street.

The final game at the real Yankee Stadium was in the early 70s and I'm also tired of the ESPN anchors calling it "The Stadium". Maybe that is what they say in NY, but give us a break.

I'll make sure to watch that day if I have a stomachache and need some good upchunk help

Holy overkill batman. The stadium's only 30 years old. Congrats ESPN, I won't turn on your channel for a split second on sunday.

Our cable company (RCN) STOLE ESPN Classic from us (technically, moved it from basic to digital-tier so we have to pay $20 extra a month to see it)...they think it's going to merge with NFLNET which is already there...

"they think it's going to merge with NFLNET which is already there..."

Jeff Tramiel - Unless something changed in the last two weeks, not necessarily.

What Billy Crystal will be there?
What a shocker!!

Yeah, I won't be watching anything on the leader until the game, just because I wanna see my O's crash the party.
But good thing I have two TV's, so I don't have to listen to Morgan/Miller's verbal fellatio of the Yanks all game.

Also, I give the Mets the same amount of respect I give the original Evil Empire-- None. But where is ESPN's Shea Day?

Billy Crystal??? Why in the world is even associated with the Yankees? Friggin ridiculous.

Shea Stadium (1964) is older than Yankee Stadium (1975) and has a better scoreboard.

I guess no Shea Day but then again there was no Tiger Stadium or Three Rivers Stadium day which I would definitely put in the same class as Yankee Stadium II. Now when Wrigley or Fenway see their last days I am sure ESPN will do the same. Dodgers Stadium? Not sure but it deserves the same.

"Dodgers Stadium?"

Sure. To honor Dodgers Stadium fans, ESPN will show up in the second inning and leave after the seventh.

some of the comments here really are off the wall This stadium was remodled but it was not moved so saying it is only 30 years old is insane and tell me if it came out in the newspapers that Fenway Wrigley or say Lambeau field were going to be torn down the fans would burn the towns down and as a New Yorker for 54 years I am totally disgusted that people are allowing this to happen I don't mind them building a new Stadium but tearing down the old stadium is sacrilege go to Rome and tell the people and you plan on ripping down the Coliseum see if you don't start WWIII

I can't believe Baer didn't get a matchup with Holyfield or Tyson after knocking out Schmeling in the Stadium 1993. Man did he get screwed out of a title fight.

I live in Canada but grew up watching the Yankees on TV. When I was young I thought there were two teams: the Yankees and the other team they played. From a distance, I have wondered why the people of New York aren't marching in the streets to protest the closing of the stadium. Surely the dirt that the Babe played on is worth fighting for.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE READING COMMENTS FROM THESE OBVIOUS JEALOUS SLOBS. U KNOW THE YANKEES ARE THE GREATEST SPORTS TEAM IN HISTORY AND IT BOTHER YOU. GET OVER IT....YOUR TEAMS ARE JUST SECOND CLASS AND ALWAYS WILL BE. WHEN U WIN 26 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS YOU CAN HAVE A DAY THAT HONORS THE CLOSING OF YOUR BALLPARK. AND IT WAS REBUILT IN 75 NOT BUILT IN 75 IDIOT. SO PLAYERS LIKE RUTH DIMAGGIO MANTLE GEHRIG STEPPED IN THE SAME BATTERS BOX. ASK A TRUE ATHLETE AND THEY WILL TELL YOU IT IS A CATHEDRAL AND SHOULD BE HONORED AS SUCH. NOW GO BACK TO YOUR POTATO CHIPS AND BEER AND ROOT FOR YOUR TEAMS TO EVEN BE 1/10TH OF WHAT THIS FRANCHISE IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE

OH AND TO THAT GUY STEVE WHO SAID WRIGLEY, FENWAY SHEA DESERVE THE SAME TYPE OF ATTENTION WHEN THE CLOSE....PLEASE SHARE WHAT UR SMOKING WITH THE REST OF US. DRUNK FAT AND STUPID IS NO WAY TO GO THRU LIFE SON.
