New Yankee Stadium is the working title for a new stadium for the New York Yankees, currently under construction. This stadium is informally called Yankee Stadium II (or Yankee Stadium III by people who consider the rennovated stadium to be II). It is being built on the current site of Macombs Dam Park in the New York City borough of the Bronx, across the street from the current Yankee Stadium, which it will replace.
Construction workers dug for five hours to remove a David Ortiz jersey buried in concrete in the new Yankee Stadium. Watch footage as the Yanks look to avoid a curse on their new ballpark.
Construction began today on the new Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. CBS 2's Jay Dow reports on the ceremony and the local controversy over the stadium's location.
