I'm surprised George hasn't gone for the quick cash and sold the naming rights at either park.
How many fewer seats will it have? How many luxury boxes does the current Yankees stadium have?
The new Yankee Stadium will open in 2009, replacing the third-oldest stadium in the Major Leagues. Yankee Stadium has held up for 84 years, surpassed only by Fenway Park and Wrigley Field.
"This new stadium will present new comforts, new features and be state-of-the-art in every way," Yankees president Randy Levine said. "It will be the most spectacular fan-friendly stadium ever built."
"Four score and three years ago, George Steinbrenner's forefathers moved the Yankees across the Harlem River from the Polo Grounds to their new home in the Bronx," New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg said. "And the rest is history -- the most fabled history in the long saga of the summer game.
"Today, we're opening a whole new chapter, an exciting chapter in that history. This new Yankee Stadium will honor this franchise's brilliant past while creating a new home field worthy of the greatest team in professional sports."

The new Yankee Stadium will seat fewer than the current stadium, but it will have 60 luxury suites, including three outdoor suites and eight party suites. It will have many restaurants, larger concourses and entertainment areas.
But the Yankees will also carry over some of the time-honored traditions of their current stadium. The field dimensions will be the same, and Monument Park will be transferred to the new park.
