Scranton-Wilkes Barre PNC Park

I found out during my visit to Rochester that the SWB Yankees are renovating their stadium. One website describes the renovation as a "total replacement" My question is this: once complete, does this count as a new stadium?

Mark I live near PNC Field. They will have the new stadium finished in late March 2013. They are also changing the team name. The Yankees have not been too popular since taking over from the Phillies triple A in 2007. Small crowds and not much in the way of giveaways. I posted photos of the field with the old stadium gone about two weeks ago. I would count this as a new stadium. The new stadium will be similar to the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs in Allentown Pa. The old Scranton/Wilkes Barre Red Barons.

Thanks for the info. I had been to Lackawanna County Stadium, and thought it was a nice stadium. It saddens me when the older stadiums are torn down. I'll have to check out the photos.
