For my Public Interfaces project, I’m attempting to create an interface within the stadium that helps people feel more connected to the team, the stadium, and their fellow fans. On a hunch, I googled “Hate New Yankee Stadium” and instantly found a quote that that perfectly describes what I’ve been attempting to put into words since I first stepped foot in the stadium of opening weekend, 2009

Where as the Mets moved out of a studio apartment to an eight bedroom shore house, the Yankees moved from their house where the kids grew up to one three doors down with a remodeled kitchen….The stadium is nice. It’s fine. It doesn’t feel special. I don’t feel the ghosts and I don’t feel the history.
