"The three excavators lined up Wednesday on the field of ruin that was once Yankee Stadium. They idled in left field, side by side, their buckets down, prepared to pull down a section of the upper deck. The grass field is gone, replaced by shards and chunks of concrete and steel. – The New York Times, March 10, 2010
