NYC Garbage for Mets, Yanks

Posted on April 22, 2008 Under Art

Baseball season is in full swing yet again; this season’s home openers for both New York teams were very special affairs, though not because of the outcome — each team’s respective game was the last at their current stadium. The Mets and Yankees will be moving to new homes next season. To commemorate the last opening days at both Shea and Yankee stadium fans no doubt brought home programs and ticket stubs of the event, but as much as those mementos are proof of game attendance, they don’t necessarily accurately convey the experience of being there. If you’d like to take a trip down memory lane that’s more a true reflection of what it was like to sit in the stands during those historic games, our old friend at NYC Garbage have just the thing. Justin Gignac one half of the creative duo behind on of our other favorite projects has collected trash from both home openers and sealed it in its very own see-through cube, so that Yankees and Mets fans can have a one of a kind, fresh-picked souvenir from one of their very last trips to their beloved fabled arenas of athletic combat.
