First look at the Pope's Yankee Stadium stage & St. Joseph's Seminary stage

Tim Drake at Pope2008 gets us the goods (click images for full-size version).

Here's an artist's rendering of what the Papal Mass at Yankee Stadium will look like:

Some notable details:

  • This will be the fourth papal Mass produced by Seg Events.
  • Because of the baseball season, they have 48 hours from the start of when they can begin building to when the event begins (that's going to be tight!).
  • Prior to the Mass, many artists will be performing, including Cirque Du Soleil. Wow.

My observations:

  • I like the royal purple, if they choose to stay with that color.
  • I like the prominant position of Pope Benedict's and the papal coat-of-arms.
  • Contrary to some rumors, Pope Benedict will *not* be saying Mass from far right field (*wink*) but from center field. Hopefully no attending deacons try to play shortstop during the liturgy.

And here's what the St. Joseph's Seminary (Youth Gathering) stage will look like:

More information from Pope2008 here.

Who is going to be using those walkways? That news coming next! update: Kelly Clarkson.
