Top Ten Features of the New Yankee Stadium
10. Due to a recession, only has two bases.
Richard V., Avondale, PA9. Restroom floors are pre-soaked in urine for your convenience.
Marty H., Jackson, KY8. Pitcher’s mound is now made of delicious Hershey’s chocolate.
Paul F., Barrie, Ontario7. Battery dispenser in the outfield bleachers.
Stephen P., King City, CA6. In addition to runs and hits, digital scoreboard keeps track of stabbings.
John S., Sacramento, CA5. It’s known as the “House That A-Rod’s Cousin Built.”
Bob U., Bethel, CT4. In-seat urinals — no wait, that was old Yankee Stadium.
Allan B., Toronto, Canada3. 24-hour steroid kiosks.
Donald R., Freehold, NJ2. No corporate seats in the upper deck to prevent executives from jumping.
Cameron D., Ho Ho Kus, NJ1. Three locker rooms: Yankees, visiting team, and Madonna.
Harold F., Pittsburgh, PA
Who says A-Rod doesn’t have an impact on this team? Three of the top ten have a connection to him.
Unfortunately, four of the remaining seven are a reference to poor fan behavior at the Stadium.
Can someone explain “#8″ to me? Must be some form of Ontario humor that I’m not getting…
I’m thinking its a Willy Wonka reference due to the shiny new stadium.
Maybe it’s referring to the Yankees having just about everything around a home game branded (including ads around the stadium, restaurants, foods and even the JP Richard whistle for strikeouts). It would make sense they’d make money from Hershey if the mound was made of chocolate and refereed to as the “Hershey Hill” or something like that.

FWIW, IIRC, on Saturday (vs. the Cubs) they had another one of those things…they played the Gotta Go To Mo’s jingle when someone stole a base…but, maybe I got that wrong?
It may simply be a throwaway line
