Yankee Stadium

Yankee Stadium was a stadium located in the New York City borough of The Bronx. It was the home baseball park of Major League Baseball's New York Yankees from 1923 to 1973 and, after extensive renovations, from 1976 to 2008. The stadium hosted 6,581 Yankees regular season home games during its 85-year history. It was also the former home of the New York Giants football team. The stadium's nickname, "The House That Ruth Built", originated from Babe Ruth, the iconic baseball superstar whose prime years coincided with the stadium's opening and beginning of the Yankees' winning history.
