Serving as the home ballpark for the New York Yankees, the new Yankee Stadium replaces the previous Yankee Stadium, built in 1923. The new ballpark was constructed across the street, north-northeast of the 1923 Yankee Stadium, on the former site of Macombs Dam Park. The Yankee Stadium Parking Garage is "a public recreation space that is being built atop a new parking garage located in the shadows of the old and new Yankee Stadiums. This unique garage rooftop park spans a full city block (nearly seven acres), and features a regulation, multi-purpose field for soccer and football, a 400-meter running track with bleachers overlooking it, eight handball courts, four basketball courts, fitness equipment, a comfort station, viewing mounds, water fountains, trees and other horticulture," (FiberTite Roofing Systems, see below).
