Get Your Shovels Ready
On August 19th, construction starts for the new Yankee Stadium to be built at Macombs Dam Park.
This gives the Yankees 2 years, 7 months, and about 2 weeks to get the job done in time for Opening Day 2009.
Can they do it in that amount of time?
Well, it took about 2 years and 3 months to build the new park in St. Louis. And, it took about 2 years and 5 months to set up the Phillies new park in Philadelphia. Also, it only took them about 2 years to build PNC Park in Pittsburgh. Safeco Field in Seattle took about 2 years and 4 months.
Assuming that it will take around 2 1/2 years seems to be the safe bet.
I hope that some smartie with a great camera does a series of photos on the site as things progress. It would make a swell book.
