Crushed stone from Tilcon’s Tomkins Cove quarry has been used to produce 50,000 cy of concrete supplied by our customer, Jenna Concrete, to the new Yankee Stadium project.

 The new Yankee Stadium will open in 2009, replacing the third-oldest stadium in the Major Leagues. Yankee Stadium has held up for 84 years, surpassed only by Fenway Park and Wrigley Field.

 It will seat fewer than the current stadium, but it will have 60 luxury suites, including three outdoor suites and eight party suites. It will have many restaurants, larger concourses and entertainment areas.

Along with the $800 million the Yankees have invested, the city and state are contributing more than $200 million to build recreational parks along the waterfront and other facilities around the ballpark. A hotel, convention center and $45 million Yankee Stadium Metro-North Station are also in the plans. Four new parking garages will be built, creating approximately 10,000 vehicle spaces.
