Yankee Stadium, New York
When the Yankees unveiled their new stadium in 2009, there was a deliberate effort to maintain the iconic elements of the old venue. Architecturally, the exterior and the famous frieze at the top of the upper decks remained virtually unchanged. However, there were notable improvements, such as wider and more spacious concourses, upgraded concessions, and a massive 59-by-101-foot HD LED scoreboard that wowed fans.
A must-see attraction within the stadium is Monument Park. Located beyond the center field wall, this mini hall of fame pays tribute to the Yankees' legendary players. The bronze plaques honor the team's illustrious history and include a prominently displayed oversized tribute to George Steinbrenner, the influential owner who revitalized the franchise. Steinbrenner's plaque stands at the center, flanked by those of Mantle and DiMaggio.
Monument Park remains open until 45 minutes before game time, and visitors can easily find it by following signs from the main entrance. It's an essential stop for any Yankees fan looking to immerse themselves in the team's rich heritage.
Why You Should Visit:
First-class facilities at every level make this a great place to catch a game and cheer on the Yankees.
There are plenty of good food and drink options to fill the long time a baseball game takes.
Tip:
Come early and go to Monument Park and the Yankees Museum.
