from Mick Kern at the XM NHL Home Ice Blog,
Each autumn I can feel the clock tick a little louder; another step towards the grave. The closing of Yankee Stadium is yet another small step in that direction. Just another part of my past that now is gone.
Add it to the roll call of other great buildings. Maple Leaf Gardens, the Detroit Olympia, Chicago Stadium, Boston Garden, the Montreal Forum. And that’s only the tip of the iceberg. No doubt you have your own arenas/stadiums to add to that list.
For me, it’s Clarke Stadium in Edmonton, the Montreal Expos, the Calgary Cannons, the St. Catherines Stompers, and Ottawa Rough Rigers. The Hartford Whalers, Winnipeg Jets, and Quebec Nordiques. The Atlanta Flames at the Omni. The Winnipeg Arena, though I never saw a game there, but once peered in through the windows and caught a glimpse of the seats. 10 cent chocolate bars at the corner store, milk in glass bottles, Saturday morning cartoons, and playing outside without sunscreen.
