The Chicago Cubs will be opening up the new Yankee Stadium against the New York Yankees on April 3rd. The two teams will the play a second exhibition game on April 4th as well.

“The Cubs are thrilled to be the Yankees’ first opponent in the new Yankee Stadium and are honored to take part in this historic event,” said Cubs chairman Crane Kenney.

I don’t mind playing these games but I really doubt we see the regulars playing a full game in the short two game series. It is just to close to the regular season that you don’t want to risk having someone like Derrek Lee or Aramis Ramirez get hurt in an exhibition game.

Once information about tickets is released, we will let you know. More then likely you will have to order through the yankees or ticketmaster.
