I'm watching the last game at Yankee Stadium tonight (Damn, Damon just hit a homerun) because:
1. It's a sad thing for Yankees fans and I like to see Yankees fans sad.
2. If they lose, they will not make the playoffs, and it would be great to see the Yankees clinch their "tragic number" on their home field, playing for the last time there. (Red Sox already won today.)
3. I'm a little intrigued about all the attention that is made of Yankee Stadium, given that it is the pit that it is.
I have been to Yankee Stadium twice this year, and the visits have confirmed for me that the place lacks charm, character, a general feeling of safety, a location in an actual neighborhood, and the excellent close-to-the-field seats and sightlines that Fenway has.
The monstrous, concrete structure that is being built beside Yankee Stadium looks just like the current facility. Looks like not much will change next year for the Yankees when they play home games - they'll be in another uninspiring, soulless excuse for a ballpark.
I'm sorry, was that mean?

At least the new stadium (like the old) won't be filled with drunk guys in pink polo shirts with the collars up and boat shoes with no socks wondering where they should take the sailboat tomorrow. Plus, it will have enough seats so you will actually have a chance at getting tickets. Finally, they won't film silly dating shows there.
