Yankee Stadium deal clears City Council

I don't see why they can't just build a shell around Yankee Stadium and put a dome over it, make a year-round venue, with the new transportation hub it would have a better effect instead of screwing up the Grand Concourse, the "Bonfire of the Vanities" Bronx County Courthouse ("heh judge if my warrant doesn't say borough of THE Bronx, is it legal?") and take another part of a public park away from the Bronx (part of Van Cortland Park, where the money was exchanged for the Lindbergh baby is being used in two locations for the water Tunnel #3 chamber and the filtration plant in the golf course) a part to be taken from McCombs Dam Park (he designed the George Washington authorized Montauk Lighthouse, NYC City Hall and the dam that was once there in the Bronx) setting a dangerous precedent, perhaps. What's next? Onetime mayoral candidate Abe Herschfeld, a parking garage tycoon, was it, thought they should just cover Yankee Stadium and had plans drawn up for the revitalization of the neighborhood.
