Groundbreaking...

So today the Washington Nationals officially broke ground for their new ballpark. It is a big event when it happens, but how many people actually remember these ceremonies? Should be interesting to see whether the ballpark opens in April 2008 like the team hopes. Our guess is that it will not open by that time. It always takes atleast two years for any ballpark to be built if everything goes according to schedule. Speeding up the construction process any faster than it already goes is almost impossible. It will probably be another 2+ years of the Nationals playing at RFK Stadium.

Lets fast forward to 2008 then. RFK Stadium will probably close mid season as the Nationals move into their new ballpark. However that will not be the only stadium closing in 2008. It will be one of the biggest years for the closing of stadiums since the end of the 1999 season when the Astrodome, Tiger Stadium, and Candlestick Park closed. If everything goes according to schedule, Yankee Stadium and Shea Stadium will both close at the end of the 2008 season. Just imagine what it will be like at Yankee Stadium for the final game ever. We have been at several stadiums for the final games played and they all had great closing ceremonies but just think what it may be like at Yankee Stadium with everything that has occurred there. Just think about that!

Until the next time,
