First Day at Yankee Stadium
New York Yankee players and fans got their first up close-and-personal view of the new Stadium Thursday.
Derek Jeter stepped out of the dugout and gazed up at those massive grandstands, five booming decks of blue-and-white splendor reaching high into a clear Bronx sky.
Welcome home. This is the new Yankee Stadium.
"It's a lot better than I think anyone even expected,'' Jeter said. "You know, I tried to come here, not ask too many questions about it, just wanted to experience it
for the first time. But this is, it's pretty unbelievable.''
Jeter and his teammates moved into their fancy new digs Thursday, working out at the $1.5 billion ballpark before a dazzled crowd of more than 20,000.
The place is a baseball palace, with luxuries everywhere for players and fans alike.
