Part of the deal that enabled the Yankees to build the new Stadium across the street from the old was a land swap. The "new house" stands on what had been playing fields and parkland. And the ballclub agreed to replace the lost recreation areas.
With the ruins of the old Stadium in the background, neighborhood residents can use the new fields, which are built on top of a new garage serving the Stadium. Mostly soccer and (American football) from what I saw. While city parks officials want to avoid aspiring sluggers connecting with motorists driving just below the fields, couldn't they see the irony of placing this sign across the street from Yankee Stadium?
