Yankee fans can now visit the bathroom during the playing of "God Bless America" during the seventh-inning stretch.

The rule change is a result of a settlement reached Monday in Manhattan federal court.

The Yankees, the New York Civil Liberties Union and Queens resident Bradford Campeau-Laurion all signed off on the deal.

Campeau-Laurion was thrown out of Yankee Stadium last year after trying to visit the bathroom midtune.

The Red Sox fan will also get $10,001 in a separate deal reached with the city because he got the boot from two uniformed cops -- one of whom allegedly told him, "Get out of my country."

The NYPD insisted that Campeau-Laurion was tossed because he was drunk and disorderly.
