Like a lot of other companies in Silicon Valley, TimeBridge has hired their fair share of ex-Yahoo employees. CEO Yori Nelken said most of their ex-Yahoo engineers got a chuckle when they noticed the large Yahoo advertisement on the stadium wall next to the 404 marker (for 404 feet from home plate) during a recent company outing to a baseball game.
404 errors occur when a web page cannot be located on a server. Given Yahoo’s 2008 travails, it’s not hard to see the humor in this accidentally created message. This isn’t the first time the ad has been noticed, and I for one am glad to see Yahoo stubbornly refuse to move the ad.
Took me 58s (thanks to you crappy js ads) to load this page with xDSL ..looks like you guys deserves a 406 error code.
Interesting coincidence
Funny
This is so old.

this is older than the internet mike
Thanks for the wiki link to 404?
Mike, Your title should probably read “Yahoo’s 404 At Giants’ Stadium” or “Yahoo’s 404 at AT&T Park” so as not to lead your readers to believe that you’re referring to the stadium actually named “Giants Stadium”. That is all
Hilarious coincidence – who cares how old it is… a lot of people haven’t seen it.
coincidentally (or ironically) i am a web professional and my new apartment is #404…
funny how that works out, hopefully im not destined for failure!
First time? Welcome to 2001.
i never seen it but lol
Slow news day? Congrats to Timebridge for getting the link!
it’s on yahoo’s blog

Hey nerd, it’s called AT&T Park.
Giants Stadium is on the other side of the country.
Seems like this advertising decision is getting some wonderful viral pick-up. What genius putting the advert next to the 404.
If you rename the park 5x since it was built… you can call it what you wanna call it
As others have correctly noted, Giants Stadium is a football venue in East Rutherford, NJ,
Fact.
No 404 problems on http://www.schoolshift.com
this is OLD.
is there no news in Silicon Valley anymore?
Might be old but first time I’ve seen it, pretty funny.
Can’t believe TechCrunch posted something I saw ages ago on the Internet!
This looks like a thinly-veiled effort at mentioning that TimeBridge is hiring ex-Yahoo! employees.
Yep, this has been there since at least 2004. Talk about being stubborn. By now, Y! has gotten the message; they must not see any negative side to it, and probably appreciate the added little bit of attention it garners.
