DOB: Yankee Stadium's Cracked Ramps Safe!

2009_10_cracks.jpg After the NY Times looked at Yankee Stadium's cracked pedestrian ramps—some cracks are "as much as an inch wide and several feet long"—in the new $1.5 billion structure, the Department of Buildings headed to the Bronx. DOB Commissioner Robert LiMandri issued this statement, "Engineers from the Department of Buildings visited Yankee Stadium today and inspected all of the walking ramps with visual cracks. They determined that the cracks do not affect the structural stability of the ramps and do not present any safety concerns. The Yankees have told the Department that the cracks will be repaired at the end of the season."

Its the corpses rotting under the floor. Uncle Tony's crew did the concrete job.

Our tax dollars at work. I see a $100,000,000 repair job being salivated over already. I wonder what 'concrete purveyor' (mafia family) will get THIS contract?

It's not even winter yet and the stadium already has holes in it. $1.5 billion sure produces cheap junk.

We don't em like we used to, that's for sure. I blame socialism.

maybe they should have put red sox jerseys in the concrete then...


Just smooth them with a crack hoe.

Luckily, that area has quite a few available.
