Facts and practical information

Yankee Stadium, a cornerstone of New York City's sporting landscape, stands as a modern coliseum in the Bronx, uniting fans with the storied tradition of the New York Yankees. Opened in 2009, this $2.3 billion sporting venue replaced the original 1923 Yankee Stadium and has since hosted some of the most memorable moments in baseball history.

Spanning a massive 1.3 million square feet, the stadium boasts a seating capacity of over 47,000, making it a buzzing hive of activity on game days. The design pays homage to its predecessor, incorporating elements like the iconic frieze that adorned the top of the original stadium. It also features state-of-the-art facilities, including more than 60 luxury suites and an array of restaurants and concession stands offering a variety of food and beverages.

Beyond baseball, Yankee Stadium serves as a versatile venue, hosting soccer matches, concerts, and other significant events. Its grand scale and modern amenities make it not only a destination for sports enthusiasts but also a landmark for entertainment in the city.

The stadium's allure extends to the New York Yankees Museum, which celebrates the team's rich history with a collection of memorabilia, and Monument Park, a tribute to legendary Yankees players. These attractions, along with the high-caliber sporting events, make Yankee Stadium a must-visit destination for anyone looking to experience the excitement of New York City sports culture.
