HOUSE-PROUD YANKS RESTART TOURS

Just when you thought Yankee Stadium was closed forever, fans will have another chance, starting today, to tour the House That Ruth Built, The Post has learned.

The Yankees have decided to extend tours of the famed ballpark until the end of the year, officials said yesterday.

The team held its last tour on Sept. 19, but the decision to resume came after hundreds of fans called and sent e-mails begging for one last chance to say goodbye to the Stadium before it’s demolished next year, officials said.

The tour includes a trip to the press box, dugout, the team’s locker room and a chance to walk across the field to Monument Park in centerfield.

Tickets cost $20 for adults and $15 for children 14 and under.

The Bronx Bombers will play at a new, state-of-the-art ballpark – across the street from the current stadium at 161st Street and River Avenue – starting next season.

Shea Stadium, which closed its doors forever on Sunday after the Mets failed to reach the playoffs, does not offer tours. The Mets will play at the new Citi Field, next to the old ballpark in Flushing, Queens, next season.

For more information on Stadium tours, fans can call (718) 293-4300.
