Yankees Will Become First MLB Team to Integrate Highly Advanced Antimicrobial
System

ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich., March 11 /PRNewswire/ -- CSG, in conjunction with the
New York Yankees, today announced the new Yankee Stadium will become the first
facility in Major League Baseball (MLB) to be treated with the Sports
Antimicrobial System(TM) (SAS). Comprised of several leading-edge and highly
advanced products, the SAS is a comprehensive process that kills
illness-causing microorganisms and continually inhibits the growth of
bacteria, mold and fungi on any surface for up to three years.

"We feel the Sports Antimicrobial System will be critical to our operations in
2009," said Doug Behar, Senior Director, Stadium Operations.

Areas of Yankee Stadium set to be treated with the SAS include the home and
visiting club houses, locker rooms, training rooms, dugouts, showers, managers
and coaches offices, weight training areas, and family lounge. Additionally,
the Team's washable fabrics will be treated with FabricAide(R).

"When applied through the wash, FabricAide will continually inhibit the growth
of a wide array of bacteria, mold and fungi on any fabric or textile. Defined
by its durability, FabricAide's unmatched antimicrobial effectiveness will
last a minimum of 30 washes before another application is needed," said Craig
Andrews, Chief Executive Officer, CSG. "Integrating the Sports Antimicrobial
System and its family of products into Yankee Stadium evidences just how
committed the Yankees are to being innovators in the world of professional
sports."

According to Craig Andrews SAS is recognized in the sports world as the most
comprehensive, long-lasting antimicrobial solution because the process is
thorough and the products are innovative. Certified applicators from
ENVIROspect (Nesconset, NY) begin the process by systematically applying a
cleaner disinfectant that was formulated to work in synergy with SAS
antimicrobial products. This is an integral portion of the process because it
effectively kills 99.9% of germs and bacteria, including harmful microbial
contaminants like MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) and
staph. After properly cleaning all the surfaces tabbed for treatment, an
advanced antimicrobial product called SportsAide(R) 1000 is sprayed throughout
the facility.

Further, he indicated that one treatment of SportsAide 1000 will inhibit the
growth of bacteria, mold, and fungi on surfaces for up to three years. The
advanced antimicrobial power of SportsAide 1000 is vastly superior to any
other technology and thus trusted by over 1,200 high schools and pro
franchises nationwide for several key reasons, but most importantly because
the water-based antimicrobial fights a wide array of microbial growth 24/7.

treatments and services. CSG offers products and services for any facility.
Its customers include franchises in the National Football League, National
