There have been a lot of complaints over the last month or so about the fact that fans who did not have tickets for field level seats could not come down to the field level seats to watch batting practice (I personally haven't been able to get to a game early enough to see batting practice anyway). Today, the Yankees have seemingly changed their policy, as now all fans will be able to be able to watch BP from certain sections of the field level area.

Peter Abraham has the announcement from the Yankees' official site:

BATTING PRACTICE
Remember fans, on game days, arrive early. Yankee Stadium Gates on Babe Ruth Plaza and Gates 2 and 8, open three hours prior to the start of every home game. All fans are encouraged to arrive early to enjoy batting practice and infield workouts from select areas of the Field Level and the Bleachers; specifically, all fans may watch batting practice and infield workouts from Field Level Sections 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 129, 130, 131, 132, 133, 134, 135 and 136 and from all Bleachers Sections. Please note, on certain game days the Yankees may elect not to take batting practice, infield workouts or both. Those fans who take advantage of the opportunity to enjoy batting practice and infield workouts from the Field Level and/or the Bleachers may remain until the players leave the field following the conclusion of the Yankees batting practice or 1 hour and 45 minutes after the Gates open. At that time, all fans will be asked to return their respective seats.

MLB.com's Bryan Hoch also has some details.

Also, while I'm on here, Andrew over at Scott Proctor's Arm linked to some startling photos of the old stadium's ongoing deconstruction.
