Stan's Sports Bar, Bronx, NY

Stan's is located under the elevated train tracks on the outside of (old) Yankee Stadium.
The bar is located in the center of the floor and walls decorated with old Yankee memorabilia.
A great atmosphere before, during or after ball games.
The crowd is spirited. One Saturday afternoon after the Yankees beat Seattle, the Little League World Series championship game came on the TV. The US team was from Toms River (NJ).
The crowd was engrossed and hung on every pitch. After runs were scored or the locals finished off an inning, the entire place erupted in "U.S.A. U.S.A" chants.
We are not sure how the dynamics of the place will change once the Bombers move next door.
The view from Stans is basically tressels and the tall backside of the (old) stadium.
Once the old stadium is demolished, the site is going to be a park.
