I love how Yankee fans don't even bother to read their own posts!!!
If you open the link and sort by home runs (the characteristic of a
"band box"), you'll see that Yankee Stadium is the most (surprise!!)
with 1.26 home runs per game. Fenway is all the way down at 21st on
the list, with .964 home runs per game.

So the bandbox, for those Yankee fans who can actually read, is indeed
the little league field in the Bronx.

looks like the new Yankee Stadium is a HR park with that 1.261.

And Fenway is a doubles park as we knew, with 1.370 doubles. But it
is not a HR park at 0.964.

Look at all those triples they're getting at Coors Field...compared to
Yankee stadium. it's as if at Yankee stadium all the deep alleys have
been turned into seats for homeruns instead of triples.

too bad - triples are more exciting than homeruns....

That Yankee lineup had nothing to do with anything..sic

Damn put that yankee lineup in that little league bandbox at Fenway
(quick someone hit a 296ft popup)
and the numbers would be off the chart.

the fenway numbers do include the 10 or 9 times that the yankee lineup
was there.
and the yankee numbers include the 9 or 10 times the boston lineup was
there.

the ratio is home/away for everyone that plays there.
that is why the Factors measure all the teams home & away numbers - to
remove dependency on the hometown lineup.

Sorry Tibbs..I posted data that shows it is clearly a pitchers
park...what part are you missing?
And as usual your joke of a place is a bandbox yet again.

Deep analysis.

In 2005, *old* Yankee Stadium had a home-run park-factor rating of
1.430, highest in the league. The previous year, though, it had been
0.776 (27th), while in 2002 it had been 1.254 (almost the same as for
the new stadium in 2009, but only good for 8th that year). In its
final season, the old stadium was down to 0.982 (16th).

So beware seasonal weather patterns. You're going to need maybe five
years of data before you can say anything so conclusive (not to
mention so smug).

And make note, too, that home runs in new Yankee Stadium dropped off
to a non-story in the second half of the '09 season. In the
postseason, new Yankee Stadium had the lowest home-run rate of the
eight stadiums in play.
