Citi Field beats out Yankee Stadium for best ballpark in NYC

NBC New York has been running contests for the “Golden Local,” pitting New York City items against one another in a poll to determine the best of the big city.  The latest vote had Citi Field taking on Yankee Stadium, and the residents of New York City have spoken.

Citi Field takes the cake – by a landslide – garnering 62 percent of the Golden Local vote.  Yankee Stadium picked up the opposing 38 percent of the voters.

I gave Citi Field the edge in my blow-by-blow breakdown and now New Yorkers have agreed.

Congrats, Citi Field.  Officially the best stadium in New York.
