New Yankee Stadium Determined To Rid Itself Of That Offensive "Hallowed Ground" Moniker

For those worried that the new Yankee Stadium scheduled to open next season will undermine the legacy of its storied predecessor, well, you're probably right. It appears the shiny new Bronx ballpark is poised to be more mallpark than ballpark, given some of the amenities it will have inside. Like, you know, a Hard Rock Cafe:

Seminole Hard Rock Entertainment has inked a long-term deal with the New York Yankees to open two restaurants in the new Yankee Stadium.

The Orlando-based company will open a 7,000-square-foot Hard Rock Cafe in right field at the stadium that will open in April 2009. The restaurant will seat 210 guests and operate year-round.

Right above the Hard Rock? A 128-seat steakhouse named "NYY Steak." In 2010, expect the new Yankee Stadium to rent out space to Dean & Deluca, Trader Joe's, and maybe even a Bed, Bath, and Beyond.

If you haven't seen pictures of the new Yankee Stadium yet, the one that's coming next year, you really need to check out Curbed's photo gallery. It actually looks like a place one might actually want to watch a ballgame.

Our longtime antipathy to the current Yankee Stadium is well documented, but this new place looks gorgeous. Though we're not sure how we feel about drinking at a Martini Bar in the freaking Bronx.
