Bronx, NY: There have been some rumors that the Yankees were trying to buy Yankee stadium. Those rumors are not true. Therefore, New York Yankee President, Randy Levine issued the following statement:

"The New York Yankees are not in discussions to buy the current Yankee Stadium from the City of New York.

We have been in talks with city officials to determine the best way for the City to realize value in the

assets of the current Yankee Stadium. The goal is to find the best and most efficient way to

make memorabilia items available to the public and our fans.

There is no agreement as of yet as to the best method of making these items available but our

discussions with the City are continuing. When there is an agreement we will let everyone know."
