I was wondering that myself. I haven't seen Yankee Stadium, but my impression is that it was just a big, old, ugly stadium like Tiger Stadium.Originally posted by Arrian
Yankee Stadium... the Yankees fan in me cheers, but my objective side has to question it. It's got history, it's home to a great team, but it's not really an architectural masterpiece.

Why is Carhenge in Nebraska not on the list?
I'm not sure it qualifies as a "structure".KH FOR OWNER!

Who cares? When I saw it, it was truly inspirational. It made me think how crap Stonehenge really was, and how much British cars are about as well designed as big slabs of rock.One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.Comment

Crap, the Disney Music Center made it. It's just a big pile of weird-looking junk.
I'm glad to see L.A. Union Station made it.
It'd be even better if they didn't build condos and an office building right in front of it. 
Thank God, our Cathedral didn't make it. It is one of the ugliest monstrocities ever constructed--a monument to Cardinal Mahoney's ego. Our multi-million dollar subway stations are also crap.
I'm surprised not to see a bunch of Vegas hotels. Some of them are magnificient--like the Venetian.
And no sports stadiums?

And they had Wrigley Field, Yankee Stadium, Camden Yards, and... I think AT&T Park (SF Giants). Possibly more I'm not remembering.Captain of Team Apolyton - ISDG 2012

How that list can have Yankee Stadium and not Fenway... even as a Yankee fan, that's silly.

Quite a few that seem nice. The US Capitol (6) and the Chrysler Building (9) I've always loved. The Supreme Court (15) and TransAmerica Pyramid (61) are great too. A few I never really new before, but that look awesome, are the Biltmore Estate (8), St. Patrick's (11), Cathedral of St. John the Divine (23) and the Walt Disney Concert Hall (99).Smile

I must've missed it, then. Is it beyond #100? If so, I just didn't get to it, b/c the site crapped out on me.

I agree with Dan about the DC Metro, very clean and modern design. If only NYC could accomplish this, I feel like I need a antibiotic shot every time I use one of their subway stations."The DPRK is still in a state of war with the U.S. It's called a black out." - Che explaining why orbital nightime pictures of NK show few lights.
