Save Yankee Stadium

[greensd1]

:scared:

We've all heard talk of a "new" Yankee Stadium complete with luxury boxes and a retractable dome either on the West Side of Manhattan or in the Bronx next to the REAL Yankee Stadium, but now it's getting serious. I've always liked Giuliani, and I've loved Steinbrenner since he decided to start listening to his baseball people, but I can't go along with this.

THEY'RE GOING TO DEMOLISH YANKEE STADIUM WITH WRECKING BALLS AND EXPLOSIVES.

Here's a link to Mike Lupica's column in yesterday's Daily News:

Hopefully we can think of a way to stop this from happening.

I'm posting a thread about this in Yankee Discussion. Check it out.

But quickly, even if the property owner objects, LANDMARK buildings can be legally protected BY LAW. Check out this site and start getting busy contacting people.

I will remind you that many times in the past property owners have been STOPPED cold from demolishing landmark buildings, such as Grand Central Station.
