The NEW Yankee Stadium under the lights

I work in a high-rise building in Midtown Manhattan with amazing views of New York City. Looking out the north side windows, there are amazing views of Central Park and in the distance the Bronx. Lately, I have seen lights on in the distance in the vicinity of Yankee Stadium. I assumed they were testing out the lights in the new park, but I didn't dare venture up to the South Bronx in the dead of winter (I kid, I kid... Kind of).

It turns out that they ARE testing the new lights, and the WCBS 880 chopper did some flying this evening to capture some never before seen night-time photos of the new Yankee Stadium under the lights...

WCBS even took the time out to capture a photo of the Yankees' welcome to CC Sabathia and A.J. Burnett:

If that doesn't get you pumped up for the 2009 season, I'm not sure what will.

Monument park is just about empty in the OLD stadium:



But could this be its home in the NEW stadium?



The seats are going in down the left field line!!!

The new Yankee Stadium continues to take shape...

Sliding Into Home has been on top of the new Yankee Stadium construction updates since day one, so it is not surprising at all to find these photos.

Without stealing Greg's scoop too much, here are some of my favorites:




That screen sure does put the screen in the current Stadium to shame.



That is some legit legroom in the upper deck seats. I'd say it is at least double the current leg room that upper deck seats offer.

Finally, this overhead shot is epic.

Just 8 months until the crowds start pouring in!

YES Network and the DirecTV Blimp give an aerial tour of the new Yankee Stadium

Some pretty awesome shots provided by the blimp on the YES broadcast today. Check it out:



The most notable thing from this video is HOW few tier reserved rows there are. Looks like season ticket holders like myself are really going to get screwed when the relocation package comes out.

I can't believe that the new Stadium is taking shape so quickly. Decent food, modern bathrooms, $15 beers. I can't wait!
