Yankee Stadium, the older Yankee Stadium at least, used to be a terrible place for fans of the opposing teams — especially boisterous supporters — to go and watch a game.
The times, however, they’ve changed and so has the stadium, apparently ushering in a new, gentler class of Yankees fans.
That was on full display Monday night when the Yankees welcomed the Los Angeles Dodgers to town to open a three-game series in the Bronx. The Yankees also welcomed thousands of folks in Dodger blue to the ballpark.
Dodgers fans came out in droves for the opener, with a big pocket of supporters even holding a Dodgers flag in the left-field seats.
Things got even worse for Yankees fans when the opposing fans broke into a roll call of their own, borrowing the tradition from Yankees fans who call out the names of every New York player on the field in the first inning.

The Dodgers gave their diehards plenty to cheer about, too. L.A. rolled to to an 8-2 win

Bills LBs take Uber to stadium after being left behind by team bus

Two Buffalo Bills players had to find their own way to the stadium on Sunday after the team bus left them behind.
Jerry Hughes posted a video on Instagram that showed him riding in the back of an Uber car with fellow Bills linebacker Zack Brown. Beware that the video contains a curse word:
“When your team bus don’t wanna wait up for the boys so we used the homie — Uber in this b–ch,” Hughes said with a big smile on his face.
Don’t worry, guys. Team buses are overrated. Remember what happened to the Denver Broncos on the way to a game last year? Hughes and Brown may have scored themselves a comfier ride to downtown Baltimore for their game against the Ravens.

FIFA head to delay-hit Worl Cup 2018 stadium
http://i0.wp.com/www.truesportsfan.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/781cb5eae8be9569334734efac6337de65a95d58.jpg?fit=640%2C427
Moscow (AFP) – FIFA on Wednesday said work on Moscow’s flagship Luzhniki stadium for the 2018 World Cup appeared to be on course, ahead of a visit to the delay-hit arena in Saint Petersburg.
“We’re very pleased with the progress here in Luzhniki,” the major stadium for the World Cup,” Colin Smith, the FIFA chief competitions and events officer, said after checking up on construction.
“Of course there’s still a lot of work to be done but it’s on track and on scedule.”
While all seemed on track in Moscow — which will host the opening and final games of the tournament — there are serious concerns over the crisis-hit construction of the stadium in Saint Petersburg.
Contract disputes have seen work halted at the arena in Russia’s former imperial capital — which is due to host a semi-final and the third place match in 2018 — amid doubts that it will be completed in time for the Confederations Cup next year.
Smith insisted that there have been some “positive signs” of progress in Saint Petersburg after a new contractor was brought in to oversee construction.
“We will go through all the details in Saint Petersburg and see it for ourselves,” he said ahead of the FIFA delegation’s visit to the city on Saturday.
The FIFA omission will also inspect three other World Cup host cities – Saransk, Rostov-on-Don and Kaliningrad during their nine-day visit to Russia.
