Chicago Cubs Will Officially Play First Series At New Yankee Stadium

Before the New York Yankees play the Cleveland Indians in the 2009 MLB Season Opener, they will play an exhibition series in the New Yankee Stadium.

The Cubs will play the Yankees on Friday night April 3 and again the following afternoon.

The ballpark is scheduled for substantial completion by Feb. 17.

The Chicago Cubs are managed by Lou Pinella, who won two World Series Championships with the New York Yankees.

The Yankees open the season April 16th against the Cleveland Indians.
