Arguments Heard For And Against A New Yankee Stadium
NY1
The City Planning Commission held hearings yesterday on a new Yankee Stadium under NYC's Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP). Bronx residents are fighting against the loss of parkland, increased traffic and support of the political machine and unions.
But things got heated between opponents prior to a public hearing on the project Wednesday.
Even before the hearing got underway, a shoving match broke out between advocates and opponents of the plan.
Construction workers were there, saying they want the new stadium because that means jobs for them.
Opponents say the last time a hearing was held, they didn't get a chance to air their complaints. This time around, the commission assures them they will.
