Hear the loudest sounds of crowds cheering? Well you are at The Yankee stadium! It has been 8 decades and this stadium continues to be the world’s most favored when it comes to the all american craze of baseball! Originating in 1923, the stadium is known for its one of a kind horseshoe shape and at that time it was called “the stadium”! This stadium will continue to tell the young and old that it witnessed the New York team’s first success in the World Series championships, 284 days after it was built. The N.Y. Yankees played six games against the Giants, beating them in each of those 6 glorious games!
One thing that brings this otherwise plain stadium its uniqueness is the success achieved by the New York Yankees and the men, considered as legends that played in that stadium. The significance is also that it hosted 37 games of the World Series! While walking into the stadium, one would definitely not miss the Monument Park, a place that honors the best of New York Yankee’s players with plaques and monuments that adorn the area.
The memorable walkway with a wall adorning the 16 retired players’ numbers and their respective managers, along with a plaque for each of them. It is the New York Yankees that wore numbers permanently and also claims to have the largest number retire than other organizations, the first one to retire was Lou Gehrig, whose number was 4 during the year of 1939.
The Monument Park is a must see but see that you get there on time when the gates open or at least 45 minutes before the commencement of the first pitch. No chances to visit it after the games!
Babe Ruth and Baseball are hand in glove so to speak! Babe Ruth was the reason for the Yankee Stadium and it is most commonly known as the stadium that was built by Babe Ruth. It was Babe Ruth’s runs that drove crowds in thousands to the Polo grounds, which resulted in New York authorities’ decision to build a triple deck stadium!
Over the years, the stadium has changed sizes about 15 times and is the largest in space in comparison to the other 30 parks that are major league. Bob Sheppard is still the announcer since 1951!
One may not get a great view further away from the field, you are above the field if you were to sit in a tier box and the upper deck which is larger has very different perspectives in seating. It is quite difficult to reach the upper deck as aisle is very narrow and allows only one person to pass through, yet the stadium can only be seen completely if one walks around the perimeter of the stadium. It is still the stadium with the loudest crowd’s scream.
