The Bronx Bombers and their big spending boss, George Steinbrenner, are closin in on a deal with city and state officials to build a gleaming new Yankee Stadium in a park next to the House that Ruth Built.

The team is in the final sages of planning for a new $700 million "state of the art" stadium, a source close to the Yankees said yesterday.

But the team denied a story in Crain's New york Business that an announcement can be expected in the next two weeks.

There is no bigger Yankees fan than the Bronx Bomber, bt as the Yankees are about to set an all-time aendance record at 4 million, I fail to see the need for a new Stadium at this time.

I will be very sad if this happens, which it looks like it will. :-(

Being from Minnesota and listening to all of the whining about the Metrodome, I surmise that King George wants more luxury boxes, bigger parking lot, and possibly stores and/or hotels adjoining. Tons more money available to make with these additions.
