When it comes to sporting venues, few are on the same tier as Yankee Stadium. Home of the 27-time world champion New York Yankees<\/a> and part-time home of the 2021 MLS Champions New York City FC<\/a>, the pedigree of these winning franchises is front and center as soon as you step inside the gates of the iconic New York City<\/a> stadium.<\/p>\n

The stadium opened in April 2009 and is located on 161st street in the Bronx, New York City. When it opened, it replaced the original Yankee Stadium, which was in operation from 1923 to 2008. With how iconic the House that Ruth Built was, the new stadium was built to replicate several design elements from the original stadium \u2014 most notably the design of the original facade. This remodel allowed the venue to expand and add modern amenities that the original Yankee Stadium couldn\u2019t accommodate.<\/p>\n

Yankee Stadium History<\/h2>\n

The campaign to build a new Yankee Stadium began in the 1980s and was led by Yankees owner, George Steinbrenner. Despite a recent remodel, Steinbrenner was concerned that the Yankee Stadium facility didn\u2019t offer amenities for the modern sports fan. Throughout the \u201980s and \u201990s, Yankee ownership explored moves to the Meadowlands Sports Complex in New Jersey and the West Side Yard on the West Side of Manhattan. Ultimately, the team was able to settle on the site of Macombs Dam Park, just one block north of the original Yankee Stadium.<\/p>\n

Construction began on August 16, 2006, 58 years after Yankee legend, Babe Ruth, passed away. At a cost of $2.3 billion, it is one of the most expensive sporting venues ever built.<\/p>\n

Opening in April 2009, the Yankees went on to win the World Series<\/a> in their first season at the new Yankee Stadium with a 4-2 series win over the Philadelphia Phillies<\/a>.<\/p>\n
