Yankee Doodle Dandy

The Ball is Round

What does this UK "football" fan know that we don't know?

After seven visits to New York (and New Jersey) in six years I was finally completing my stadium list by a visit to the new Yankee stadium. I had been to Meadowlands (2005 England v Columbia), Yankee Stadium (2005 Yankees v Red Sox), Shea Stadium (2005 Mets v Diamondbacks), Madison Square Garden (2005 New York Rangers v Washington Capitals), CitiField (2010 Mets v Red Sox), MetLife Stadium (2011 New York Jets v New England Revolution), Prudential Center (2012 New Jersey Nets v Miami Heat) and then Sunday night I had been to Harrison to watch Red Bulls play DC United. All boxes ticked until New Jersey Nets move to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn in January 2013 (and become the Brooklyn Nets or something).

Emphasis, ours.
