From Yankees.com:A glimpse into the old Yankee Stadium on Monday afternoon offered a shocking, albeit inevitable, sight. The various retired numbers that have helped infuse the ballpark with so much of its history lay scattered about on pieces of plywood, ready to ship out of their old home. There was no order, just a jumble of history.Construction workers officially began to disassemble Monument Park on Monday, in preparation for a move across the street to the new Yankee Stadium. And one of the more symbolic moves is yet to come, when the Yankees transport the monument of Babe Ruth to their new ballpark on Wednesday morning.
I hope monument park is done the right way at the new place. When looking at the renderings, as well as the construction so far, I worry that it may be hidden under that stupid restaurant, but I'll reserve judgment until it's finished.

For real... stupid restaurant.
People go to ballparks to see baseball games not to eat at a restaurant. But it's very sad that the old stadium is going down.
I agree with you both.
I hate the frickin restaurant. As if there aren't enough places to eat in new york.
I'm with you guys, I hate the restaurant in CF. It's a stupid idea.
its better than the blight of black empty bleachers...but its a shame MP is stuck under it...i would like to see it where the yankee bullpen is in LF
All new stadiums have restaurants. There is no reason the Yankees shouldn't install a money making machine in center field either.
I think they should have left cf to the monument park, have a few trees, then a back wall with ivy or something else for the batter's eye.
Instead have having a restaurant (that they could have located elsewhere in the stadium)that's going to block out the views of much of the field, if you're sitting close to the wall.
I can understand the idea of a restaurant or something like it; i'm against poor design.
Thats a great idea Crosetti32.
I don't understand it either Cro.
