It's possible that the Yankees will open the new Yankee Stadium ten days earlier than originally scheduled, according to Yahoo! The team is reportedly contemplating playing an exhibition game on April 6, and their preferred opponent is the Chicago Cubs (via Scott Proctor's Arm).

Part of me likes the idea, because I think it's a shame the team has to open the season with nine games on the road. On the other hand, part of me would rather avoid the confusion of having two home openers and people debating about trivial things, such as who really hit the first home run at the stadium.
