Today at 4:00 p.m. ET, the Yankees will unveil renderings for a new, self-financed Yankee Stadium, replacing the current one that opened in 1923.
Yankees principal owner George Steinbrenner, New York Governor George Pataki and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg are expected to headline the event.
The biggest buzz will be over the unveiling of renderings of the new stadium, giving Yankees fans their first looks at the future home of their team.
The Yankees organization has spent years developing plans for the self-financed stadium that will rise in Macombs Dam Park, adjacent to and north of the current field. Construction on the planned 51,000-seat park is expected to begin in 2006, and should conclude in time for the 2009 season.
