Sharing is never easy, especially when it comes to Yankee Stadium and the needs of both a Major League Baseball and a Major League Soccer team. And while having both teams use the venue as their homeis not ideal, Murray Cook, MLBs fields and facilities coordinator, tells SI.com it is doable.
The New York Times reportedMonday night that New York City FC will play its first three MLS seasons, starting in 2015, in Yankee Stadium, with the official announcement expected next week. With Manchester City FC and the Yankees teaming up to bring MLS to New York City, Yankee Stadium was the logical business choice for a stopgap home.
But logistics have to work on the fieldtoo.
Is it ideal? Cook ponders. It is not the greatest, but it works. It is doable.
MLB and MLS seasons run concurrently, meaning stadium crews must handle 81 baseball games and at least 17 soccer games each year. Weve already seen a taste of what soccer looks like on the Yankee Stadium grass, with the 50,000-seat venue hosting four games in the last two years and another game planned for July 30 when Manchester City plays Liverpool. Without a designated width for a soccer field just parameters to fall within Yankee Stadiums baseball-first design forces a narrower pitch than typically seen. It also requires temporary grass every time soccer is played.
With the field running from the left field wall toward the first base line foul territory, sod must cover the vast majority of infield clay. Cook says laying ready-play sod has turned commonplace.
You literally lay it down and that day you can play on it, he says.
Two MLB and MLS teams streamlined that practice already when the Washington Nationals and D.C. United shared RFK Stadium nearly a decade ago.

Shreveport-Bossier, LA (PRWEB) April 15, 2014
The Gardens of the American Rose Center is celebrating 40 years of roses with a schedule of events featuring tours with rose experts, free educational gardening seminars, and much more. Admission for the 2014 garden season is complimentary as a gift to the community in celebration of the 40th anniversary.
The Gardens of the American Rose Center is the largest public garden in the United States devoted to roses, with 20,000 rose bushes spread throughout 118 acres and more than 65 rose species, including Angel Faces, Brigadoons, Caribbeans, Flamencos, Indian Roses and more. Guests can also see companion flowers, gazebos, bridges, sculptures and fountains.
We are predicting that this anniversary will be the most memorable one yet, said Jeff Ware, executive director of The Gardens of the American Rose Center. The aroma of the roses entices the nose, and the view of so many different colors is an incredible experience for the senses.
The Gardens of the American Rose Center will also host free educational seminars for experienced and novice gardeners. These Green Thumb seminars will feature a variety of themes: including gardening for the home, insect prevention and preparation, and fall gardening. Speakers for the seminars include garden experts, such as Claude Graves, Mike Hall, the Northwest Louisiana Master Gardeners, Dr. Allen Owings and others.
While visiting the gardens, guests are encouraged to schedule a cart tour, which includes a tour guide and golf cart making travel through the many acres of roses an easy adventure. Outside food and drinks are allowed and picnics are welcomed.
The Gardens of the American Rose Center hours of operation are: Mon.-Sat. 9 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sun. 1-5 p.m. Reservations for a cart tour must be made one-week in advance by contacting Carol Spiers at (318) 938-5402 x223.
