A Monument to Baseball Royalty
No stadium in sports carries more myth and memory than Yankee Stadium. The original opened in 1923, a cathedral to the game built in the Bronx for the most iconic franchise in baseball. Known as "The House That Ruth Built," it witnessed legends, dynasties, and unforgettable Octobers before it was replaced by a modern version in 2009—a stadium that pays tribute to its roots while adding new chapters to the story.
Monument Park and the Legacy Wall
Tucked behind center field is Monument Park, a shrine to Yankee greats like Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, and Mariano Rivera. The space keeps the team's decorated past alive, honoring its unmatched 27 World Series titles.
The new stadium features a "Great Hall" lined with banners, echoing Yankee greatness the moment fans walk in. Though more luxurious, the current Yankee Stadium preserves many original design cues—a conscious continuation of tradition.
