Heck, the old Yankee Stadium was 296ft. to the pole and 344ft to straight right with a 4 ft. wall. New York never liked the short, high wall in Boston either. So it tended to even out. Look for New York to drastically reduce the price of those lower boxes, however. A classic blunder. They’ll leave it alone.

Pretty much it hasn't caused too much of a problem, and the Yankees have shown that they can hit it out of any ball park, not just right field. Fenway's Green Monster affects the game all the time, and they don't change that, so I don't think it is necessary to change Yankee Stadium. It is just media hype at the beginning of the year, and it has since died down. I don’t think they will do anything about it.

I will be fielding there next yr. Nah LOL. Fenway has a pretty easy HR chance to RF too. They will keep it the same except for one thing. I will be fielding there next yr. Nah LOL.

The back wall of the upper deck of the old Stadium was solid concrete. The back wall of the upper deck of the new Stadium is basically a fence, allowing wind to flow through the wall, get amplified by the slope of the seats and push out to right field. If they just covered the back wall, it wouldn't be a supreme wind tunnel like it is now. It's not like they move right field up during the bottom half of the innings. The dimensions are the same for the Yankees as they are the opposing team. I don't think they'd care if they had a player hit a pop fly home run into the first row in right field.
