YANKEES TO PLAY FIRST HOME
GAME IN MAMMOTH NEW PARK
A o
NEW YORK, Apr'l 16.— (By As
sociated Press.)—When baseball, the
nation-wide magnet, begins attracting
Its swarms of fans to its two ps'.es
here this season, New York's de
votees of the sport will wend their
v a> into the two largest and finest
larks in the country.
The new $3,000,01)0 Yankee stadium
V now practically complete, and vast
improvements have been und o- way
at the Polo Grounds, home of the
world’s champion Giants, where th
sealing capacity is being increased
to 54,000. The combined seating ca
pacity of the two parks at the open
ing of this season will be 120,000
—75,000 at the Yankee stadium and
45,000 at the Polo Grounds but with
in a few weeks this will he increase i
to 130,000. In future years, when
final plans are completed, 154,000
spectators can bo accommodate I on
a single day.
The Yankee stadium, the largest
baseball park in the country. will
bo ready for the opening game next
Wednesday, with the Boston Red Sox,
and will accommodate 75.000 per
sons. When completed, it will seat
100,000.
The severity of the winter has re
tarded work at th ■ Polo Grounds, but
45,000 seats will be available there
April 26, at the first call of "Bat
t’riea for today,” and before the en 1
of May 54,000 will be ready.
The Yankee park is an imposing
arena with its tier of wooden bleach
'field and huge steel and i ancreio
ers surrounding most of the out
grandstand, consisting of two decks
and a mezzanine floor. The bleach
ers, newly painted in bright gre n.
are ready for the first mob of “dye.l
in-the-wool” enthusiasts.
The grandstand is complete except
for two decks of seats in the xtreme
left field section, which will he
added after the close of the 1923
season. There are rows of box seats
In front of all seats in the two decks
as well as the mezzanine Th? en
closure for newspapermen is in front
of the mezzanine floor and directly
behind home plate.
An immense score ‘hoard lias been
erected over the center-field bleach
ers with figures a foot high, visible
from any section of the park. Scores
of all games in both major leagues
will be posted daily.
Under the direction of Phil
Solkenck, veteran ground-keeper, who
•was in charge of the Yankees' old
field more than a decade ago, tli »
playing field lias been sodded from
the edge of the stands -to the rim of
the bletchers. except for a track 24
feet wide encircling the field. Th ■
track measures 400 yards and hi- a
straightaway of 120 yards. It will
be available for track meets when
the field is not being used for base
ball. Its 'tonrporary wooden rim can
be Temoved from the track if no: In
use so as not to interfere with th
fly-chasers.
The Held is 302 feet, 0 inches wid \
iVhen Babe Ruth hits a home run
over second base to the center fi*li
blogchers the ball will have to travel
-475 feet.
• T'he main entrance and exit to th ?
grandstand are on 157th Street and
-Doughty -Street. The grandstand and
bleachers cost the Yankees $2,500,
000, and the grounds slightly more
than *500,000.
The old wooden bleachers at the
Polo Grounds have been replaced by
concrete and steel -structures extend
ing from each end of the grandstand
erdund the outfield. In center fiel 1
two bleacher section? have been fin
ished, each seating 2,500 persons and
separated by an exit gate. Beh.nd
each uncovered stand is a clubhouse
of -concrete and steel, one of four
stories to toe occupied by the Giants.
Extending -from the original left
wing of the grandstand and cover
ing about 250 feet is a high con
crete structure that will carry an
upper .tier cf seats. Broadening out
into deep center flield, this wing will
assume the proportions of the grand
Stand as it first was built around
thei.diamond In deep right field, an
other whig has been added.
