With Yankee Stadium preparing to host four college football games over five seasons starting in 2010, three other iconic baseball stadiums might follow suit.

Officials at Fenway Park in Boston and Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles say they are open to hosting college football, maybe even bowl games. This comes on the heels of discussions among Illinois, Northwestern and Wrigley Field about a game between the Big Ten rivals at the Chicago Cubs’ home park.

Army recently announced it will play four games — against Notre Dame, Rutgers, Air Force and Boston College — at the New York Yankees’ new home between 2010 and 2014, renewing a tradition started in 1925 of Black Knights’ games at old Yankee Stadium.

The old Yankee Stadium housed its fair share of college football’s greatest games, and now it appears the new one might be getting its chance to do the same.

Apparently the New York Yankees are open to the idea of playing host to some of college football’s greatest rivalries, and who better to swoop in than one of college football’s winningest programs, Notre Dame. According to The New York Times, Notre Dame AD Jack Swarbrick has been in contact with Yankee Stadium and would love to be one of the first two college football teams to play in the new Bronx Palace.

Ever since George Steinbrenner faded away from atop the organization, the Yankees have thrown tradition out the window.

Gone is The House That Ruth Built.  Gone are the common blue collar fans.  And now?  Gone are the rights afforded to former all-time Yankee greats.

Don’t let the Yankees fool you by tuning into the YES Network and watching hour after hour of pinstripe pride, tradition, and a family feel among the city, its fans, and current and former greats. Wrong. Nowadays, season ticket holders have taken a back seat to corporate money with the absurdly inflated ticket prices.  The Stadium itself looks like every other new stadium in the league, and all of the best and most unique parts of the Real Yankee Stadium have been thrown in the garbage.  Thousands of empty seats are visible on every national telecast. (more…)

There is no history. No charm. There are no memories. But new Yankee Stadium is still a great ballpark. The main reason is because when you are in your seat, you don’t think you are in new Yankee Stadium. It looks so much like the old one. You feel like you are in a refurbished version of the empty stadium across the street.

Here are 10 more random thoughts and observations after attending Thursday’s opener:

Following a disappointing season that saw the Yankees fail to reach the postseason for the first time since 1993, amidst the festivities of the final season in beloved Yankee Stadium, they realize that they must make a strong statement this off-season.  There is one main objective for revamping this underachieving roster: Add young superior talent.

They have colossal holes in four main areas: the starting rotation, no true first baseman, ancient options in left field and absolutely nothing in center field.  With roughly $90M coming off the payroll, now is the time to act.

The first priority was the shortcomings of the pitching staff.  The Yanks managed to win 89 games last season despite heavy workloads from Darrell Rasner, Sidney Ponson, Dan Giese, and other hilarious options.  This is unacceptable.  Brian Cashman and his cronies ponied up to pay a combined $43.5M per year on the young power arms of C.C. Sabathia and A.J. Burnett.  Once Andy Pettitte decides to return as an anchor at the fifth starter slot at a discounted price, the rotation will be set.

However, Cashman has been susceptible in the past with his questionable decision making regarding position players.  Think of the off-season after the 2004 season – Yanks were coming off the collapse to the Red Sox and instead of upgrading their center field position with Carlos Beltran, they decided to blow their wad on Randy Johnson and Carl Pavano.  I think we all know how those two moves worked out and now they are twiddling their thumbs with Brett Gardner in center field.

The Yanks upgraded by sending little used utility man Wilson Betemit to the White Sox for Nick Swisher to play first base and outfield, and have entertained the notion of trading Melky Cabrera to the Brewers for center fielder Mike Cameron.

But why bring in another 36 year-old washed-up outfielder at $10M per year when you already have two others, Johnny Damon and Hideki Matsui (each make roughly $13M), fighting for playing time?  Wouldn’t they be better off shelling out the $22M to Mark Teixeira and moving Nick Swisher into center field?

Teixeira is a 28 year-old gold glove first baseman.  Have the Yanks had a real first basemen who can play solid defense and hit for power and average since Tino Martinez in 2001?  No.

Cashman needs to realize that now is the time to strike, and strike effectively and intelligently.  Grab Teixeira, who will provide stability at the first base position for the first decade of the new Stadium.  He will crush the ball to the new short porch in right and is a solid player with a bull work ethic in the weight room.  Let Manny Ramirez go play in LA.  Then, save the $26M that will be shed off the payroll next summer (from Damon and Matsui’s corpse) and invest it in another young stud in the outfield, namely Matt Holliday.

The solution is simple – sign the high quality players while they are entering their prime, not after they just completed it.  Cashman took the first step by upgrading the pitching staff while lowering the average age.  Now its time to do the same for the position players.
