I really hope these guys pull this off. Â From my email…
To Our Supporters of Yankee Stadium Gate 2,
I just wanted to give you a quick update of where we stand with regard to our proposal to preserve Gate 2 within the new Heritage Field to be built on the site of Old Yankee Stadium.
Gate 2 is still not in the plan for Heritage Field. On February 22, 2010, the New York City Design Commission granted preliminary approval to the revised Parks Department plan without Gate 2. The demolition of the “House that Ruth Built” is proceeding and currently scheduled to be completed by June 2010. Sections of the Upper Grandstand are being removed. We will continue to work with the local community and the appropriate New York City agencies in our efforts to Save Gate 2.
In the meantime, I want to let you know that your support for us is most appreciated.
To paraphrase Yogi, “It ain’t over as long as Gate 2 is standing.”
Regards,
Mark
