New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium

The New York Yankees are a Major League Baseball team in the American League East Division. The Yankees are one of the most well known professional sports teams in the world, and for good reason. Since 1901, the Yankees have won more World Series Titles than any other team in the league. Additionally, they have one of the largest fan bases in all of baseball.

The Yankees have been playing their home games at Yankee Stadium since 1923. Although the end is near for this venue, there is no denying the fact that Yankee Stadium will always be remembered for all the great games that took place there.

Many great players have competed for the Yankees in the past. Some of the most popular include Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Berra, Roger Maris, Reggie Jackson, Don Mattingly, Derek Jeter, and many more. It would be impossible to list all of the great players who have contributed to the Yankees over the years.

New Yankee Stadium opened for the 2009 season, and is the new home of the Yankees. It will replace and assume the name of the previous Yankee Stadium, built in 1923. The new ballpark is across the street, west and north of the 1923 Yankee Stadium, on the site of Macombs Dam Park in the New York City borough of the Bronx.

Groundbreaking ceremonies for the stadium took place on August 16, 2006, the 58th anniversary of Babe Ruth's death, with George Steinbrenner, Michael Bloomberg and George Pataki among the notables donning Yankees hard hats and wielding ceremonial shovels to mark the occasion. The projected total cost of 1.6 billion U.S. dollars makes it the second most expensive stadium ever built after the new Wembley Stadium in London.

With a capacity of 52,325, New Yankee Stadium is one of the biggest in all of Major League Baseball. As you can imagine, New Yankee Stadium tickets are hard to come by. This was the case with the old venue, and probably always will be with this one.

If you are interested in New Yankee Stadium tickets you will have to shell out some money. But even though you will pay a lot, the experience is sure to be one that you enjoy.
