"As Yankee Stadium heads into its final stages of modernization, fans driving by have had the opportunity to see the rise of what will be one of the most compatible and convenient stadiums in America. Built to contain all the wonders characteristic of today's newly constructed stadiums, the park will also maintain the historic quality of the original Yankee Stadium, home to the Yanks from 1923 to 1973.
The removal of pillars, creating perfect sight-lines from every new seat, was accomplished last winter. The new roof will hold a new lighting system, and the addition of public restaurants, luxury boxes, the largest indoor parking garage in New York City, a general face lift for the complete environment and modern escalator towers will all be ready for Opening Day 1976. It will be a gala return to a familiar setting, with lots of happy surprises, and hopefully another pennant hanging on the center field flag pole."
