MLB.com actually has a FAQ about the demise of Yankee Stadium!

1. Aside from the final regularly scheduled game on Sunday, are there plans for an offseason celebration to mark the official end?

Yes. There will be a big sendoff, star-studded bash at the stadium in early November, but a date hasn’t officially been announced.

The final date will depend on when all the stolen goods from the game on Sunday are recovered.

8. What are the plans for moving home plate to the new stadium?

As of now, that won’t happen. When the sod and the field are laid down in October, plans are to install a new home plate. The old Yankee Stadium plate has already been changed often, and the last one used will be part of that ballpark’s long list of memorabilia. In fact, plans are to swap out the three bases every half inning for the finale on Sunday.

1st base from the top of the 1st + 2nd base from bottom of the second + 3rd base from the top of the third= PROFIT!

9. What are the plans for moving the monuments to the new ballpark?

For safety reasons, that won’t happen until January, just before the hand-over date. Monument Park will be just beyond the fence in dead center in the new stadium, as opposed to left-center in the existing ballpark.

Safety reasons? What, is the Ruppert plaque less sharp around the edges in January?
