The plans are not simply about a stadium, but about creating a competitive urban place for sports, entertainment, education, parks, and business activity in the next booming borough, "The Bronx." 

New Yankee Stadium         
In April 2009, The Yankees will unveil its new 53,000 seat stadium. The new $800 million Yankee Stadium is one of the premier building projects to take place in the Bronx in more than 50 years. The Yankees are working with Cisco to create the most technologically advanced stadium in North America, and possibly the world. The stadium will include wireless Internet and 1,100 flat screen panels. The luxury and party suites will include a Cisco IP telephone that will allow people to both order food and direct the game’s action. Many of the luxury suite features may be available to other fans via their mobile telephones in a few years.

Yankee Hall of Fame and Museum & Historic Yankee Field
The Yankee Hall of Fame and Museum will contain exhibits that showcase the rich history of the Yankees and will be housed in the old stadium. The historic Yankee Stadium will be preserved and made accessible to the public as a little league field, destination spot and a village green for the community.

Expected to open in Fall 2009, the $500 million Gateway Center at the Bronx Terminal Markets is one of the largest private sector investments in the Bronx. The one million square feet mall will include both national and local retailers, 2,600 parking spots, and possibly a hotel. The new mall will house national retailers such as Home Depot, Target, Best Buy and Bed Bath & Beyond. The Gateway Center will also include a one-acre public park with an esplanade along the Harlem River.

Ferry Landing and Waterfront Park on the Harlem River
A new ferry terminal, within walking distance of the stadium will accommodate ferry and excursion boats from the Metropolitan area. The landing will be adjacent to a new waterfront park featuring an inlet, restaurants, and other commercial use.

New Metro-North Station and Subway Improvements
Located in heart of the Yankee Neighborhood, this new rail station will enable fans, local residents and hotel guests to take excursions to and from the area. Two renovated subway stations serving the east and west sides of Manhattan will be across the street from the hotel. The nearby 149th Street and Grand Concourse subway station will also be renovated.

Pedestrian Overpass
The construction of a pedestrian greenway network will connect the new stadium with the Harlem River waterfront and the community. This will include renovation of old pedestrian bridges, a new pedestrian bridge and a promenade over the 161 street underpass.
