Old Yankee Stadium Gate 2 -
Call to Action
To Friends of Gate 2 and All Yankee Fans
in the World,
Fortunately, Gate 2 still stands and it is not
too late to continue the fight for its
preservation. In a late October presentation to
the NYC Public Design Commission, the NYC Parks
Department's latest proposal for Heritage Field
was rejected until they could come back
with a design change that conveys the majesty of
the structure that once stood on the site of old
Yankee Stadium!
While the Parks Department is very aware of the
proposal to preserve Gate 2, and the Design
Commission even referred to it during the
hearing, they are still stubbornly
refusing to even
consider it.
What will
it take to get them to change their course?
They need to hear from
you!!
Click on the "More
Info" link above for a
form letter to Adrian Benepe,
commissioner of the NYC Parks & Recreation
Department, urging him to incorporate Gate 2
into the Heritage Field plan. The letter will
go over several key points of importance and the
best part is, all the work done for
you. All you have to do is add your contact
info, print it and send it in.
We also request
that you send a copy to the people in the
letter's cc: list - so
Commissioner Benepe cannot simply ignore
your letter. You can also use the following
links to send personalized messages
electronically.
With your help,
we can make this happen but the Parks
Department needs to hear from you before the
next Design Commission hearing!
Thank-you for
your support,
The Save the
Yankee Gate 2 Committee
