MANHATTAN — The Material Girl's hoping to hit it out of the park.

Madonna, who rocked a sold-out crowd at the Super Bowl on Sunday, is set to play a show at Yankee Stadium this fall as part of her first tour in years, according to her website.

The concert, on Sept. 6, will be part of the North American leg of a world tour that kicks off on May 29 in Tel Aviv.

The venue might bring back some memories for the musical matriarch, who once dated Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez.

Tickets for the show, one of dozens in the tour, go on sale on Feb. 13 at 10 a.m.  Further details are available here.

The tour is the first for the 53-year-old "Vogue" singer since 2009, according to the New York Times.  Her new album, MDNA is set to be released on March 26.
