Bank of America is near to finalizing a deal to become the biggest sponsor of the new Yankee Stadium.

Although the team owners aren’t selling the stadium naming rights, the extensive deal being discussed would make the bank the most visible sponsor at the new ballpark, a source told The Post.

Despite widespread woes in the financial industry, the bank has been competing with rival financial giant JPMorgan Chase for the sponsorship rights, according to Street and Smith’s SportsBusiness Journal, which reported the talks.

The package includes prime exposure in and around the stadium.

Bank of America, which declined to discuss the deal, is the official bank of the Yankees and a big sponsor of baseball in general.

“Our longstanding sponsorship of the New York Yankees is very important, but it’s premature to comment on any plans to expand upon our relationship,” Charles Greenstein, the bank’s head of baseball sponsorship, said.

The sponsorship package could fetch as much as $20 million a year, which would put it in the same ballpark as Citigroup’s naming deal with the New York Mets and Barclay’s deal with the New Jersey Nets arena in Brooklyn.
