NEW YORK - New York City Buildings Department engineers have determined that the ramps at the Yankees’ new stadium are sound in spite of large cracks in the cement.

Buildings Commissioner Robert Limandri said Saturday that engineers determined that the cracks do not affect the structural stability of the ramps at the $1.5 billion ballpark.

The New York Times reported that the team was trying to determine whether there was something wrong with the cement, or the installation and design of the ramps.

The inquiry comes after the owners of a company involved in designing the concrete mix were accused of either faking or failing to perform some required tests.

A team spokeswoman says the cracks are a cosmetic issue.

Saturday’s American League championship series’ game was rained out.
