Hi, FYI I've left notice on the Talk page of a problem concerning concerts at the old stadium, and it looks like no one is watching Talk there. Someone else had already posted the no-cites box at the article section on concerts. I didn't think it was a good idea to just delete the section. Milkunderwood (talk) 07:32, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
- I'll see if I can find out anything. I know for sure that Billy Joel had a concert there. Can't say about the others. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 14:54, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
- Here's what I'm seeing, using Newspapers.com (pay site):
The first concert ever held there was an ensemble R&B show on June 21, 1969, put together by the Isley Brothers.
- Date confirmed by N.Y. Daily News, 6-17-1969.
The first rock concert held at the stadium was on June 22, 1990, by Billy Joel.
- Date confirmed by Newsday, 6-25-1990.
It was also the site of two dates of U2's Zoo TV Tour in 1992. During one song, Bono paid tribute to the show's setting with the line "I dreamed I saw Joe DiMaggio/Dancing with Marilyn Monroe".
- Dates of 8-29-1992 and 8-30-1992 confirmed by Newsday, 8-14-92.
Pink Floyd also performed two sold-out shows at this venue on their final North American tour in 1994 in support of their album The Division Bell.
- Date of 6-10-1994 and 6-11-1994 confirmed by Newsday, 6-10-1994.
- I am not seeing claims of any of these being "firsts", but I'm still looking. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 15:46, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
¶ I've never knowingly stopped near either Yankee stadium and know almost nothing of the subject (which has made me uniquely qualified to meddle in this article over the past dozen years), but I found something just by Binging "Yankee Stadium concerts 1926" to find a list of concerts going back to 1966:
Yankee Stadium had 1 concert in 1966 Date Concert Venue Location Jun 10, 1966 Ray Charles / The Beach Boys / The Byrds / Stevie Wonder / jerry butler / The McCoys / The Marvelettes / The Gentrys / The Cowsills / The Guess Who Yankee Stadium New York, New York, United States
Concerts Per Year:
- 2022 3 concerts
- 2017 1 concert
- 2016 2 concerts
- 2015 1 concert...
- 1990 2 concerts
- 1989 1 concert
- 1988 1 concert
- 1966 1 concert
¶ I know that's four decades after what this section's originator was seeking, but it might perhaps be a start, since it's also a quarter-century before what's now on the YS(1923) page.
¶ So maybe some more Binging, Googling and Duck-Duck-Going might yield something earlier.

- I'm not finding it in Newspapers.com, but that doesn't necessarily prove anything. Maybe it would be a good time to transfer this discussion to the Stadium talk page? ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 21:14, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
- Sounds like a good idea, Bugs, especially since Milkunderwood has already started the relavant thread at Talk:Yankee Stadium (1923) —— Shakescene (talk) 21:58, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

Trolling?
What makes you think this is trolling? --Lambiam 08:37, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
- Check the IP's past history. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 10:43, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
- I see a grand total of five edits in the last six years, the one but last more than a year ago. That edit, of 25 March 2022 is the only one that does prima facie appear not to be a good-faith edit. Are they made by the same individual? --Lambiam 18:07, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
- If you think the OP's question belongs, then you can remove the hat thing. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 18:19, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

Science reference desk
Hi Baseball Bugs, You hatted a question at the Science reference desk as 'trolling'. This seems inappropriate as it appears to be a reasonable question about an optical effect - could you reconsider? Cheers catslash (talk) 18:16, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
Introduction to contentious topics
You have recently edited a page related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially-designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Hey Bugs, hope you're doing well. I've recently written the above and wonder if your reference books, especially from 1932 to 1933, cover the game from any other angle (a spicy quote or two would be nice) or if you had any other feedback. I suspect records for Left on Base were set in that game but I can't confirm it. Many thanks. ' Wehwalt (talk) 15:34, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
Talk page and Ref. Desk temporary "xx" sections
Since I'm probably going to get another type of Internet connection within the next month, which will make "xx" sections unnecessary, it hardly seems worth it (not to mention that Primal_Groudon probably didn't go to my user talk page). AnonMoos (talk) 12:28, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
