The Chicago Cubs may play the Yankees in the first game at the new Yankee Stadium

The Chicago Cubs may play the Yankees in the first game at the new Yankee Stadium.

The two teams are in talks about an April 6th exhibition match-up of one or more games before the 2009 season starts.

The teams are in negotiations but the Associated Press is reporting that the Cubs are the Yankees’ first choice.

Exhibition games are probably a good chance to iron out the kinks at the new digs and make sure the new Legends Hospitality Management staff have their act together.
