Running Series: Yankee Stadium Deconstruction Update 4/1/10 **GATE 2 DEMOLISHED**

Much to the dismay of those calling for its preservation, Gate 2 has been destroyed.  The Yankee Stadium deconstruction process, which had proceeded at a snail's pace for months and months, absolutely raced through the month of March: much of the building's structure has disappeared over the last few weeks.

At this pace, NYaT's highly unofficial estimate is that the remaining parts of the Stadium will be gone in another 4-6 weeks, leaving no trace of the history that occurred there.  This author believes that NYC's stubborn refusal to preserve even a small part of the Stadium is a big mistake that fans of the Yankees and of baseball in general will lament for many years to come.  Gate 2 would have been perfect in that capacity.

Without further ado, here are the photos.  Thanks, as always, to Tom Kaminski in Chopper 880.
