Last month, Yankee Stadium became the first sports facility to earn the federal SAFETY Act designation, meaning that the facility has passed a set of tests and won approval from the Department of Homeland Security, giving the sports franchise broad immunity against lawsuits stemming from a terrorist attack on the stadium, according an article from NBC News.
The National Football League was also placed on this list in 2008, but that designation only applies to the Super Bowl, according to experts in the article.
