New Yankee Stadium coming along

In eight months, this will all be finished. (Photo via Sliding Into Home)

Over the last nine months, Sliding Into Home has been chronicling the rise of the new Yankee Stadium. And the August pictures show a glimpse into a stadium well on its way toward completion. While the field is still a wreck — the grass is the last part of the stadium to be installed — lots of other aspects of the new stadium are coming into focus. You can catch them all here. Below are links to some of my favorites:

• The view from the center field sports bar. Not bad if you can get a window seat.
• The game’s largest DiamondVision will soon be in place.
• The dugouts have a ways to go.
• From above, it almost looks like a stadium.
