Gimme a Burger and Play Some Beatles

You would think the Yankees would put a sports themed restaurant adjacent to the new Stadium. But money is the name of the game with the new ball park.

The Yankees announced today there will be a Hard Rock Cafe and a team owned steakhouse to be open year round.

NYY Steakhouse will be owned by Yankees Global Enterprises, the parent company of the team and operated by Seminole Hard Rock Entertainment Inc., which runs 127 restaurants in 48 countries around the world.

Alex Rodriguez took a tour of the new Stadium and then helped represent the Yankees, along with Lon Trost and Jennifer Swindal, to make the announcement.

Old Meets New

The Yankees gave a tour to reporters yesterday of the Yankee Stadium construction. We've already documented our feelings on the new place, but now we're even more excited about the new place.

Yankees chief operating officer Lon Trost talked about the plan to make the outside of the Stadium look like the 1923 version and the inside like the 1976 park. You can see a video tour on Lohud.com.

Peter Abraham also has some good details about the new Stadium as well as some stuff on the current Stadium, where yesterday's tour began. They even took a peek into King George's suite.

One question though- what is a martini bar doing in Yankee Stadium? C'MON!
