When new stadiums ope, how much of the stadium they are replacing should be preserved. That is a question on minds of a lot of New Yorkers right now.

The main issue in New York is with the new Citi Field set to replace Shea Stadium. Shea has an apple that pops up whenever a Met homerun is hit at shea. There is a petition to get the apple moved to the new Citi field. (SaveTheApple.com) At the new Yankee Stadium, monument park will be fully moved to it.

Monument park is a well maintained and nicely looking area that will translate as if it were new to a new stadium. The apple is an old and cheaply looking device. Should it matter? I don’t think so. Each stadium should link the past to the present. What better way then to preserve the apple. Throw some nice paint on it and it will make a nice story that people can tell their children twenty years from now. That cheap apple once was at a ballpark called Shea and let the memories flow.

Welcome to the Sports Fanatic Blog! We are a sports blog that delivers national stories from a New York perspective. Whatever the topic of the day is, we will have it right here.

That might lead you to wonder what that all means. Well, lets face it, no media outlets cover a story quite the way the media in New York does. To go with that, sports talk radio isn’t the same anywhere else either.

Does that mean only New York stories will be covered? Absoltely not. Whatever is thought to be the important topics of the say will be covered, New York or not.

Do you have a suggestion? Send us an email or post a comment and we’ll try to get to that story.
