The Yanks want to build a new stadium; according to Crain's New York Business, the plans include$450 million in public infrastructure investment to build a hotel and conference center, a new Metro North stop, and a ferry landing, as well as three new parks elsewhere in the Bronx. Under state law, the team must replace the parkland it uses.A subsequent story in the New York Post reports
The new open-air stadium in Macombs Dam Park would seat around 50,000 people and include about 50 skyboxes. The current stadium holds about 57,000 people, but has fewer of the highly lucrative luxury boxes.This wouldn't be the first time the Yanks reduced their capacity; back in 1927, Yankee Stadium held an astonishing (for baseball) 82,000, but has been in more or less steady decline since.
