HELP MAKE YANKEE STADIUM A LANDMARK!

Thursday, September 25th, 2008 | Uncategorized

Over the past few weeks, thousands of people have visited this site and many have shared their thoughts with us, dismayed that our “Great Baseball Cathedral” is just months away from demolition…

The media has conceded Yankee Stadium’s destruction as a foregone conclusion as have many fans, misled by New York City’s original promises to preserve at least part of the legendary ballpark.

But what seems most odd is that despite more than a dozen requests over the last decade, the New York CIty Commission charged with PRESERVING New York’s greatest architectural, historical and cultural treasures has NEVER held a public hearing to discuss Yankee Stadium’s potential status as a landmark.

We’d like to see them reverse that position and give The House That Ruth Built the hearing it deserves.

That’s why, through this web site, we have created a form that will send an official Request for Evaluation to the New York City Landmarks Commission in your name. Just fill in your name, contact information and any additional comments, and we will create and send a formal request — by email AND fax — to the Landmarks Commission on your behalf.

We want the Landmarks Commission to know how much Yankee Stadium still means to New York and America. Click here to make yourself heard!

The history of the stadium cannot be disputed. It should be kept as a park and public place for years to come, as a landmark!
