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!
The Yankee stadium boasts of the amazing achievements of its home team, there is nothing very spectacular apart from the fact that the men who played on home ground were the legends of the game that brought the stadium all its glory. It hosted the World Series 37 times! Walking into the stadium, one would certainly notice the Monument Park, known for honoring the stalwarts of New York Yankees, the men who showcased spectacular feat, thereby have their plaques adorning the walls of this monument.
Apart from the park you have the walkways exhibiting plaques of the players’ numbers who retired and their managers as well. If you didn’t know this, it was the New York Yankees who were the first team to have numbers worn permanently, and also shouts out loud to be the only team with the maximum number of retiring .Lou Gehrig adds his glamour to this Stadium as he was the number 4 who was the first to retire in 1939.
If you are planning to visit the Monument Park, get there once the gates open or 45 minutes prior to first pitch because post that you may not be able to visit the Park after games.
Baseball’s best buddy as we all know is Babe Ruth! He brought the Yankee Stadium into being for the fact that the scored the largest runs and getting the crowds to flock to Polo grounds, this caused a major decision among the New York Heads to build the stadium with triple decks.
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!
If you want a difference in seating perspective then the upper deck is where you need to be and if it’s above the playing pitch, then you got to be in the tier box. Beware the aisles, quite narrow for more than one but be sure to walk around the stadium boundary to get the exact view of this monumental splendor!
