The Feng Shui Verdict: Mets or Yankees? by Feng Shui Long Island & New York City

By
Home Stager with Feng Shui Manhattan Long Island #888

You would think, if they were going to build new stadiums for both the Mets and Yankees they would have called in a Feng Shui consultant BEFOREHAND.  Not the case.  The New York Post decided to write a story from a Feng Shui Consultant on the two stadiums and which one would be more likely to do better.

Yankee Stadium, called "The House that Ruth Built" was originally built in 1923.  It was the first three tiered sports facility in the U.S.  Interestingly enough, it's very first performer was also Billy Joel, who is now giving "The final play at Shea."  Although Yankee Stadium had undergone major renovations, it needed much more work and rather then renovate once again, they are building a new Stadium 

Feng Shui consultant Judith Wendell was called in by reporter Lois Weiss and the headline of the New York Post Read:  "If You Believe in Feng Shui, the Mets are in Trouble."  Not exactly what some die hard Mets fans would want to hear.  Their last win was in 1986 and I think when they finally do win, ALL of New York will take the day off!

Unfortuately, Judith's day didn't go exactly as planned.  In spite of a driver and an escort, she could not find the reporter.  She was also unexpectedly sprayed with water-which, she said, she took as a good sign because water is abundance.  The Mets new stadium (she was unable to get inside as both are in construction) was plagued by "disturbed" energy according to the dowsing rods.  Also, the team colors of blue and orange are "antagonistic."  Absolutely true if you look at the color wheel, they are opposing colors.

How about some RED?  (This is ME talking : )  Fire, Energy, Passion...maybe a WIN.  I have always thought uniforms were important! 

Good aspects that she found at Yankee Stadium included the fact that they are using many of the same things from the old stadium thereby bringing with them good predecessor energy.  As one person also noted, it's helping to be Eco Friendly-if you don't count the 400 trees it has cut down and the 22 acres of public parkland that was taken over.  That can't be good Feng Shui.... 

No matter who wins or loses, one hard and fast rule I will NEVER forget:

"THERE IS NO CRYING IN BASEBALL!!"

Hi Carole...I wish the Brooklyn Dodgers had called in a Feng Shui consultant before leaving. Maybe they would still be where they belong! Kate

I'm a major Red Sox fan but even I am making the trek to Yankee Stadium in two weeks. I have never been there before and am flying up from Florida to say goodbye to a little bit of baseball history. Of course the Yankees not being much of a team this year makes it even a little more fun. I am hoping that I don't get shot while wearing my Red Sox hat to the game!

Carole, thank you for sharing this bit of New York history with us.  How magical is this.  So, is the rule that you'll never forget that there is no crying in baseball or is it to treat everyone like they were your mother?

Love video.

Hey Carole, it's a girl's league, so what do you expect? Great clip from a fun movie. No crying in baseball. Thanks for your updates on the Feng Shui between the two new stadiums. My college Alma Mata the Fla Gators won two basketball and a football championship with those orange and blue antagonistic colors so we do it despite where we are on the color wheel : )

LOL! That is one of the classic scenes in sports movies! It is a shame to see the old stadiums go but it is also exciting to think of all the new and good memories that will be forged with historic teams in new stadiums. I am an Atlanta Braves fan so I really don't like either New York team!

You need to be on the staff of the Chicago Cubs, Carole! This *may* be their year, if not, I'd say there will be plenty of crying in baseball!

Kathleen, I know, I was thinking of that while writing this....more history gone. Mitch, Be careful with that hat :)! People are passionate about the Yankees!! Have a wonderful trip. Kate, I loved that move, "A League of Their Own." Had to post their number one rule :) Gary, Glad to hear you've got a team that overcame their colors. Now can you imagine if they changed them? I bet they'd do even better! Rich, I loved that line...and a few others from that movie! When you come to NY, pretend you are a fan--- Debbie, That's too funny! It's the end of an era here. Cristal, There sure is....It will certainly be interesting to see if the Mets play any better :) **Again, no bar on top to bold out names or spellcheck. Anyone else having this issue??

Hi Carole,
When is the stadium supposed to be finished?  There will be much new "history" made there.  Change is difficult but it can be good.

I love that movie!  No crying in baseball!  I'm afraid I may never get my chance to see a game at Shea, how sad--I once had the goal of visiting each ne of the classic originals..

great post, Carole!

This is very interesting.  I can't believe how many ways feng shui has an influence on what we experience in life.  I would not have thought about baseball.

Hi Carole,

Well I learned something new today....thanks to you. I would have never thought about Feng Shui and sports or sport color combinations. But it makes sense.

Cynthia, I believe both will be done by Spring, 2009. It will be interesting if it has any effect on the Mets :) Loretta, I am partial I guess but I loved Shea--just the way it was. I'm sorry that you won't get to see the old one but maybe you can come in for the new one! Joan, Feng Shui deals with ANY surroundings. Years ago while we were in class one of my teachers was asked by a town nearby to Feng Shui it---it had not been doing well at all. She did--adding gaslight looks and other things to give it a good feeling. One by one the business started to open up again...and were successful. They still are today. Trace, Thank you. That's why this field is a never ending journey, there is ALWAYS more to learn. *Am I the only one not getting a spacebar??

Carole,

This is fascinating...I had never thought of the feng shui of baseball stadiums and teams before and now that you have outlined some principles, I can easily see how all of this would apply.

Liz, Thank you....I didn't know until Karen Dempsey emailed me...thank you both! Diane, It will be interesting to see if the Mets pick up a bit in their new "home." Jo, It makes sense to me....I'm wondering if the new stadiums will have an effect on either team. Simon, I guess they are just on a losing streak...since what, 1986? Can you just imagine New York City if they WON?? :) ***I apologize for the way my comments are going out in this post, I have no header and they all run together, not the way I'm typing it. I don't know why, hope it's not an indication that our New York Teams are in trouble :)
