NEW YORK (AP) -- The New York Yankees will announce detailed plans Wednesday
for a new $800 million ballpark, which would be built adjacent to the current
Yankee Stadium and could be ready by the 2009 season.

The team has spent years planning the new stadium, which will have a capacity
of at least 50,800 -- approximately 6,000 seats fewer than the current
ballpark -- but could be expanded to about 54,000. It would be constructed in
Macombs Dam Park, to the north of the current stadium, and financed by the
team.

Yankee Stadium, which opened in 1923, is the third-oldest park in use in the
major leagues, younger only than Boston's Fenway Park (1912) and Chicago's
Wrigley Field (1914). Yankee Stadium was renovated extensively in 1974-75,
but the team has long desired a modern ballpark with more luxury suites and
wider concourses.

The stadium plan calls for the new ballpark to resemble the original Yankee
Stadium in many of its details, and the dimensions of the playing field would
be identical to the current ballpark. It would have 50-60 suites, up from 18
in the current stadium.

Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, New York Gov. George Pataki and New York
City Mayor Michael Bloomberg planned to attend a Wednesday news conference
announcing the stadium, Steinbrenner spokesman Howard Rubenstein said. The
Yankees hope to start construction in 2006 and move into the new ballpark in
2009, an ambitious timetable that given the delays that frequently occur in
construction in New York.

Approval from the state Legislature and the City Council is necessary. The
state would contribute about $70 million to increase parking from 7,000
spaces to 11,000, and the city would replace the lost parkland as part of the
deal. A new commuter train station and expanded ferry terminal also is part
of the plan.

Just last weekend, the city and the Mets announced plans for a new $600
million ballpark next to Shea Stadium. That facility would be used for the
2012 Olympics the International Olympic Committee votes July 6 to award the
event to New York.

That plan was drawn up after last week's collapse of the proposal to build a
retractable-roof stadium in Manhattan for the NFL's Jets and the Olympics.

The Yankees and New York City's government agreed several weeks ago to a
memorandum of understanding for the new Bronx ballpark. The team will pay for
the stadium on its own, and the cost of paying off the bonds used to raise
the money will be deducted from the Yankees' locally generated revenue. That
will lower the Yankees' revenue sharing payments to the commissioner's office.
