Not sure this changes anything, since we already had more netting than necessary.
Yankee Stadium netting goes to the outfield. I don't think they would extend it because that would only be three more sections until the foul poll.
Baseball commissioner says all 30 MLB teams will expand protective netting for 2020 season
All 30 Major League Baseball teams will expand the protective netting in stadiums starting with the 2020 season, he told CNBC in an interview at the league's winter meetings in San Diego on Wednesday.

Financing for Sports Stadiums Could Count as Helping the Poor
For decades, the U.S. has required banks to steer a portion of their money to people in poor neighborhoods. Now, under proposed rule changes, banks may finance upgrades to sports stadiums, call it helping the poor -- and potentially even get a generous tax break.

Can confirm that Ja Rule was not involved.
edit: I can it’s off to the top right just really dark.
Outfield is a great source and I don’t think he would leak anything like this without some serious knowledge.
Just saw this. It’s probably nothing. Also, notice the picture doesn’t have yankee stadium next to the rendering so where could this possibly be?

It's drawn from an odd angle. The stadium would be in the shadows to the right of the track and field park on top of the garage.
that's the south bronx. track and field park is right there. yankee stadium is to the right of that faded out.
i hope this is something concrete. it would really take some edge off everything bad we've been put through the last few months and reignite the hype for 2020.
EDIT: got beat to the post!
also, if this isn't concrete and is more of the same, it is a very mean tweet and ruins my holiday season. just fYI.
it looks like the GAL location - that sure looks like macombs dam bridge and heritage field right next to where the stadium would go up. The rest of the development is to the south of it.
Yankee stadium would be in that really dark blotch above heritage field.
tomorrow's tweet/article:
"Thank you <insert name here> for the wonderful graphic. Appreciate your work. There is still nothing official to share about the stadium and we are still in the same situation"
