Stadium History

Year Built
2009
Opened April 6, 2009 — the third Yankee Stadium, replacing the legendary 1923 original across the street.
Seating Capacity
46,537
One of the premier venues in baseball, with premium club seating and luxury suites throughout.
The current Yankee Stadium opened on April 6, 2009, directly across 161st Street from the original "House That Ruth Built," which stood from 1923 to 2008. Built at a cost of $1.5 billion, the new stadium was designed to evoke the grandeur of its predecessor — featuring a limestone and granite exterior that pays homage to the original's iconic frieze. The facility spans 1.2 million square feet and boasts one of baseball's most impressive Monument Parks, where retired numbers and plaques honoring Yankees legends are on permanent display beyond center field. The park is home to the Great Hall, a massive concourse filled with Yankees history, championship banners, and interactive exhibits. With 27 World Series titles to its name, no franchise has called a more storied address home — and every game at Yankee Stadium carries the weight of that remarkable legacy.
