Is this cool or what?

I hate the Yankees, it's in my blood. But even with some of the sour memories I have of Yankee Stadium it was still a real thrill to have been to a half-dozen games there over the years. In addition to the amazing atmosphere it was actually a pretty good place to watch a ball game. I'm speaking of course in terms of sightlines and so forth, not less-important factors like creature comforts, courteous ballpark employees, tasty food, personal safety (all were lacking!)

Anyway, this guy in New Jersey is hand-building a 1/120 scale model of Yankee Stadium as it was in 1973, prior to the renovation that prolonged its life for thirty-something years. (depends whether you count from 1973 or when The Stadium re-opened in '76.

Looks like a pretty nice piece of work.
