New York City, New York
Yankee Stadium, located in the South Bronx, is the home of the 27-time World Series champion New York Yankees. Opened in 2009 to replace the original "House That Ruth Built," it is one of the most iconic and expensive sports venues in the world.
Monument Park, located beyond the center-field fence, honors the greatest Yankee legends. The New York Yankees Museum features an extensive collection of memorabilia, including the "Ball Wall" with signed baseballs from hundreds of players.
Catch a Yankees home game to experience the legendary "Bleacher Creatures" and the "Roll Call." Fans can also take a guided stadium tour, which often includes visits to the dugout, the museum, and exclusive club areas. The stadium also hosts soccer matches and major concerts.
Baseball season runs from April through October. Game days offer the most excitement, but non-game day tours are better for seeing the stadium's inner workings. Check the schedule for "Old Timers' Day" for a dose of team history.
Tickets are required for games and tours. Security screening is mandatory for all guests. The stadium is easily accessible via the 4, B, and D subway lines at the 161st St-Yankee Stadium station.
The stadium offers a vast array of food options, from classic hot dogs to gourmet dining. Numerous team stores sell official merchandise. The venue is fully accessible and offers various guest services.
Arrive at least an hour before game time to explore Monument Park and the museum, as they often close before the game ends. Note that the stadium has a strict bag policy, so check the website before you go.
Nearby attractions include the Bronx Terminal Market for shopping and several local parks. The Grand Concourse, a historic boulevard, is also close by.
