Not To Be Outdone By Mets, Yanks Will Have New Stadium in 2009 - 3D Renderings Available


3Dwalkthroughs.com has posted numerous times about the new home of the NY Mets, Citi Field. We have done so because we are Met fans and for the past few years the new stadium has been the only thing to be excited about.

As New York City fans we guess it is about time we give a little attention to the other team in New York that will have a new stadium in 2009...maybe you've heard of them.

The new $800 million Yankee Stadium is one of the premier building projects to take place in the Bronx in more than 50 years. The new Yankee Stadium will open in 2009, replacing the third-oldest stadium in the Major Leagues. Yankee Stadium has held up for 84 years, surpassed only by Fenway Park and Wrigley Field.

"This new stadium will present new comforts, new features and be state-of-the-art in every way," Yankees president Randy Levine said. "It will be the most spectacular fan-friendly stadium ever built."
