I vividly recall seeing a game at Yankee Stadium in July 1976 against the Red Sox. It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Chris Chambliss hit a walk off 3-run HR to win the game for the Yankees. Afterward was nothing short of pandemonium. What a memory! I loved this video for all the other memories fans got to see over the years.

So happy that I was able to attend several games at the old Stadium as a kid. The energy of the old stadium isn't the same in the new one.

Me too. I remember seeing the Yankees of the early '60s, the great teams of the late '70s, the awesome teams of the late '90s/early 2000s and the 2009 team. All so much fun to watch. The Yankee Stadium from 1923 to 2008 was a precious landmark. It was majestic. So many memories. They knocked down a cathedral. Shame on the greedy ash holes. The new place is pretty much like all the other parks....small field, too much fake noise, ridiculously high prices, and very little history. I won't go again unless I get a freebie.

Not a Yankees fan by any means, but you always respect greatness, and the Yankees are full of greatness, history, lore....I hope my favorite field will stand forever, and that's where my Cubbies play! This was a great video, just loved watching this! If your a baseball fan watch a video called saving Wrigley field.

I'm a Blue Jays fan but man the ol' barn in the Bronx was incredible especially during October baseball. :-) I know it eventually had to be replaced because it wasn't going to be around forever( remember during the 1998 season when a steel beam collapsed and forced the closure of the ballpark for a brief period until the repairs were completed and it was deemed safe enough to open again )but still, watching classic Yankees highlights when they still played there....was a sight to behold. I know anytime the Jays went and played there they had a tough time win or lose. If you ask me, Yankee Stadium was the equivalent of the Montreal Forum in hockey.

The plans to renovate Yankee Stadium were already finalized by the time George Steinbrenner and his team took ownership. Michael Burke, the team President under the CBS ownership, negotiated the deal with Mayor Lindsay. Burke is almost forgotten in the annals of Yankee history as the team and the stadium deteriorated during the CBS years. However, he should be rightfully credited for this one accomplishment. The makers of this documentary have incorrectly reported the facts in this instance.

I was very fortunate to visit the old Yankee Stadium and catch couple of games back in 2007, the new stadium was in construction across the street and during the stadium tour as everyone was walking towards monument park i stopped on the outfield and thought of all the leyends that had played on that field like Ruth, Gehrig, Berra, Dimaggio, Larsen, Mantle, Marris, Reggie, etc. and got a bit emotional knowing that the stadium will be demolished very soon.

I loved the original. Steinbrenner had the subtlety of a sledgehammer. He was even going to do away with the famous frieze (facade) until talked out of it by Cary Grant, who had some artistic sense. Wrigley Field has lasted. So has Fenway Park. Yankee Stadium could have too.

However I will remain a Yankee fan for the rest of my life. 🇺🇸

Got a chance to catch a game at old Yankee Stadium back in 2007. They should have put in the same effort Chicago did with Wrigley and preserved the historic landmark. As a Twins fan, I'm required to hate the Yankees, but you have to respect their tradition.

The Yankees were playing the blue jays and the only thing my 11 year old mind could think of was how much old dried gum was stuck on the floors there.

I saw MANY games at the stadium. Each and every time walking through the tunnel and reaching the field goosebumps stood up on both my arms. EVERY TIME.

I’m glad I was able to catch a game at old Yankees stadium.

8:27 10:48 The great #7 Mickey Mantle running down two fly balls. The first in Death Valley sprinting all out to make a backhand catch. The 2nd going to the warning track in right center. Mickey could do it all. Hit for Average, Hit with Power, Field, Throw, and could run the bases until his legs were shot. GREATEST SWITCH HITTER OF ALL TIME !

Dead center, no pun

I’m so happy I had a chance to experience both stadiums. I remember watching from Reggie Jackson in the late 70s to Dave Winfield and Don Mattingly 80’s, Dereck Jeter late 90s- early 2000s and now Judge. I was born a Yankee fan. The memories of all the championships will last a lifetime in my heart. Watching this video brought happy tears to my eyes thank you for bring back the amazing memories as a child, teenager, and now adult.

And yet they tore it down... As a Mets fan I lost my shit driving up the Deegan & noticed the Yankee Stadium was tore down

I was born April 6 1976, 9 day later on April 15 the first game in the renovated stadium was played. I didn’t know much about the the original when I was young and considered this stadium as “Yankee Stadium”. I worshiped Don Mattingly and played first base throughout graduating college as a decent right handed first baseman. It wasn’t until I started talking to my Dad about Mickey Mantle, who after a few drinks doesn’t stop talking about him to this day, that I was told and looked at pictures of how the “House that Ruth built” looked like what I thought that the renovated stadium compared to the original was like comparing Danny Davito to Arnold Swawtzinager in the movie Twins! I just fell in love with the Stadium that opened in April 1923. As I was born after the renovation I never got a chance to visit it but my Father took my older brother and I to many games trough out the 80’s and as got a job on the NYSE in 1998 I started a tradition of taking my whole family to every opening day from 1999 to 2008, as well as many games throughout the years since I was giving tickets by many clients and my Company had a luxury box as well and even though I hated every minute of my job I made decent money if I ever wanted to just buy tickets when I got that itch to hop on subway and meet anyone I invited for a night out at 161st and River Ave in the Bronx. Since I lived in Hell’s Kitchen for 10 years getting to the Stadium for me was very convenient rather than when my dad battled traffic for hours when I was a kid so he could take my brother, me and sometimes my Mom to get to the game in the 3rd inning because of the traffic and long drive from Manhasset Long Island to watch 4 innings of magic and leaving in the 7th to try to beat the traffic since they were mostly school nights or we just didn’t want to get home at 3am if we stayed the hole game. I began realizing that the renovated stadium had some great upgrades. They added about 10 rows to the bottom of the 3rd tier so if you sat by the foul poles you could actually touch them. If I happen to have 1st row upper deck seats in the area of 1st or 3rd base it fell like you were right on top of the players and almost an extra fielder for the defense!!! My Dad told me some seats in the old Stadium had seats with poles directly in front of them and you had to sit at an angle to see anything. I began to realize much appreciated additions to a Stadium I always gave a backseat to the images of 3 tombstones and a flagpole that were placed right in front on the 462 feet center field wall and a 3 story size wall you would have to carry to hit a home run and needing to launch a baseball over 520 feet left of the 3 people buried next to a gigantic pole that for some reason nobody questioned and seemed to just accept was a great place for a small cemetery. Only “The Mick” from what my Father would love to repeat to me or whoever was listening to him after his first 3 martini’s, would hit it to the back rows of the bleachers 50 feet past the 20 foot high chain linked fence place on top of a 10 foot wall that was in front of the first row of the bleachers and last obstacle the ball needed to pass to hear “Holy Cow” in the early years of broadcasting from the Scouter inside your new black and white TV. A normal at bat for Mickey Mantle and something that is literally impossible for any other 5’ 11” man. A huge new digital scoreboard that could play video watched placed in the new home of the facad that used to circle the roof and when a cameraman would catch people kissing would display it to 50,000 fans. Instead of having monuments for 3 Yankee legends in deep center field created a park dedicated to Thirty-seven members of the Yankee organization. Properly named Monument Park , it honored 22 retired uniforms numbers of players and managers that include all 15 captains. Plaques in Monument Park are a great honor for players so distinguished. The monuments mounted posthumously on five large red granite blocks had the highest honor of all. While the original bleachers stretched from foul pole to foul pole the referbished bleachers closed and blacked out a large portion of section behind the 60 foot closer center field wall. Done so batters eyes wouldn’t loose the ball being pitched in a white shirt of fans who sat their now had a black backdrop to help. Thanks I’m not finished yet. Took some time off but have more to say about the “second generation of Yankee Stadium “.What people don’t understand is the renovated stadium has the same views from home plate of the Court House, I think of a prison also. I lot of the buildings over the facad weren’t built yet in Ruth’s time, just that the coordinates of both stadiums were the same. That’s all that mattered. But the views that Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Mantle, Munson, Randoff, Mattingly, Beara, Scouter, Winfield, O’Neil, Williams, most of Jeter’s career, all saw the same views as the fans. I think that means something when someone could be staring at a part of a building for 10 minutes and it could have been the same thing the Mick starred at for 10 minute in the dugout one time. During any of the 1 game he played in wearing a Yankee uniform which his total amount is a record. No one else wore a Yankee uniform in a game more times than the “Mick”. Back to the “second original Yankee Stadium”. I don’t think as we reached into the late 70’s and into the 80’s. That the original stadium could have handled what was happening around the world. In no way could the fans exit through the outfield and leave through the opened gates of the bleachers. That had to come to a stop and another way to exit had to be assigned. If wasn’t a big problem to fix.

Of course i love going to the new stadium and getting to see our Yankees play and although it'll never hold the historic relevance the old one does, atleast it is built directly across the street from the hallowed ground of the original. The cool thing is, there is now a park with a baseball field with homeplate right where it's always been (you can see it on Google map satellite view) and now kids get to play on it (assuming little leaguers in the Bronx use it). Either way, what a magical place... you feel it everytime. ❤️⚾️🏆

I never went to the original Yankee Stadium so I can't provide a direct comparison of the two since I've only been to the new one. For starters, I'm not from New York City; New York state; or, hell, even from the Northeastern United States altogether. Neither am I a Yankees fan. I'm just a guy from Alabama who's waaaay more passionate about college football than baseball, who could be considered little more than an arms length Braves fan for his entire life. I had the opportunity to go to a Yankees game back in 2014 while I was in NYC for a few days that summer. While I don't know what it's predecessor was like, I can at least tell you the new one didn't really feel like the mythical battleground I thought it would. Certain parts of the stadium felt more like being inside a shopping mall than a ballpark, in all honesty. Souvenir shops; memorabilia retailers; concession stand; independent vendors hawking stuff; etc. It was all a little much for my taste. And don't get me started on the prices.... Jesus Christ, they're astronomical! The amount they charge you for even the most basic stuff is utterly absurd. It did have one positive feature going for it that I liked though, and that was it's spaciousness. What they never tell you about all of the old ballparks and stadiums out there that are still standing is their uncomfortable dimensions. These places love to sell their facilities as 'intimate' and 'cozy'. In other words, they're small. Too small for the modern era. The concourses and causeways are narrow; the seats you sit in are wooden and tiny; the restrooms don't have enough utilities to move everyone along efficiently. Therefore, I did appreciate the larger parameters of this new Yankee Stadium. I probably need to make a return trip and see another game there one day in order to get a better grasp of the situation. I'm sure it has it's charms going for it that I simply missed by being an out-of-towner unfamiliar with everything. However, what I remember most about that game (aside from all the Yankees fans being irritated and disgruntled over losing to a shitty Texas Rangers team) was how hollow the overall experience was. I went there on a last minute decision mainly just to take it all in since I was already in NYC, and also because this was Jeter's final year. I don't think he played but a few innings that night, and the only time he got on base was when he drew a walk. Again, the whole experience never really came together for me the way I hoped it would. The overall impression it left me with was the undeniable reality that I never once felt grateful for being one of the select few who can say they've had the great fortune of being inside baseball's most sacred site. To put it bluntly, the impression I left with was just how artificial it all felt. I never once felt that vaunted "Yankee magic" I'd heard so much about all throughout my life, and was desperately hoping to encounter that evening. You could just feel it in your soul that there's a very important key ingredient floating around out there in the ether somewhere that's currently missing. It's as though the U Haul people lost an important piece of furniture in the 500 ft separating the original from the new Yankee Stadium. It just wasn't what I was hoping for.

I like many others remember going to the old stadium as kid so many times with my father and brother. I still remember the first time walking through the tunnels to our seats and seeing HOW BIG it as. My father passed away back in 2003 so we were able to enjoy their last great run. I'm also super fortunate to be one of the fans who was there for the last game at the stadium. I had went the week before with a friend thinking it was the last time I was going to walk through the doors, when out of the blue the day before the last game I get a call from my father in-law, who was a Red Sox fan, asking me if I'd like to go see the last game? A friend of his had 2 tickets and he knew how much of a Yankees fan I was. Being able to experience all of the games as a kid with my father, and then the final game at the stadium with my father in-law, who also passed away in 2018 is something that I will cherish forever

I was lucky enough to have been a part of a MLB team.... As I walked up to the Stadium, I was greeted by the then clubhouse manager Pete Sheehy who promptly greeted me and took my team bag in hand as we walked into the bowels of the Stadium, and into the visitors clubhouse to plop down my bag. Then Pete took me over to the Yankee clubhouse and introduced me to several of the players there. Walking out onto the field had me tingling all over. Here I was, by myself, along with the Gods of baseball past. Having grown up in NJ, I had been to the Stadium many times, but not like this. I am one lucky fella indeed......

I am so lucky to have had a beloved father who took me to the original House that Ruth Built, and then to Shea Stadium when the Yankees played there, to the newer House that Ruth built. He was a die hard Dodgers fan, so he hated the Yankees, and was more comforatable going to Mets games.💜💜💜💜

Wow I had never seen this video before now. I don't know how I missed it but I'm really glad I've now seen it. My father took me to my first game in 1965 and everything people said about going through the tunnel and seeing the Stadium in color after watching it in Black and White on TV is definitely true. Then I heard Bob Sheppard's voice giving the lineups and I didn't know where it was coming from. I did think God was giving the lineups. I saw Mantle hit his 500th homerun. What a thrill that was. And I took the Stadium tour in 2008 and I stood out in centerfield and saw the majesty of the Stadium and also sat in the dugout just thinking about all the legendary players who sat where I was sitting. There's no place like it and there will never be anyplace like it. I'm so grateful I got to see this because all those memories came back. Thank you very much.

Aldough I'm not a Yankee fan, you have to admit they have there rich history, and have had some great players.

@Lighthouse in the Storm Yep. I’m a Mets fan so there’s a certain amount of respect/reverent awe and distain at the same time. Yankee Stadium is and always will be a shrine to baseball.. when you walk in it’s a quasi religious experience…you can feel the history around you. CitiField is not even in the same league. Last time I was in Yankee Stadium was the first game after 9/11… an emotional experience in its own right..a tentative uncertainty coupled with an immense sense of pride for our first responders enveloped the stadium… a first step on a return to normalcy.

I'm from Toronto. Was lucky enough to see two games at the Cathedral of baseball. Saw one game in August of 2000 and another in July of 2007 on old timers day. Loved it! Absolute disgrace they tore it down. I have absolutely no desire to see the new place! None at all!

Great idea to tear down the cathedral of baseball. The new stadium just doesn’t cut it. Can’t put Humpty Dumpty back again

watching this during one of the darkest years as a Yankee fan, 2023 will go down as a disgrace

your right they should have kept it as a historical shrine a museum for everyone for generations to come to see to experience to walk in that great stadium to feel & experience the greatest moments in sports history games & the players that were there great home & visiting players that were in awe of such a great place to stand in there and look around just takes your breath away and you imagine all the greatest players in baseball history that have played there from the smallest games to the biggest games were usually played with capacity filled crowds the majority of the time if I played for the Yankees 1 day or a few days no matter what amount of time I was given I would have considered it my greatest honor to play in that great uniform that great stadium we've all come to call baseballs cathedral no other name could ever be so fitting to a place so great called yankee stadium ive always been proud to live just a few blocks away from yankee stadium I used to look at it every day, or night all seasons too

This is narrated by Chaz Palminteri right? Great program!

Best stadium ever

1:27:00Some adjustments made was moving tarp from right feild to left feild. Removing the black bleachers for a bar (one of the most iconic views from the 1976 renovation) And moving the very long back stop 20ft closer. Also saying “we are brining back the old ball park” by putting in a clubhouse behind the back stop and it’s the reason why you don’t see a lot of fans sitting behind home plate Bc the seat tickets are so damn expensive. Avg $400 a ticket at least compared to other ball parks

So weird I’m a Red Sox fan for life but I loved this stadium went to like the 5th or 6th last game there it was awesome

The new stadium is nice but it’s something about the old Stadium. The first time I visited, it was in 2005 against the Blue Jays. I will never forget it. I know there’s some debate that Yankee Stadium died when George Steinbrenner took over and they renovated it for like that two year period. And also in that two-year period, the Yankees were playing at Shea Stadium. In 2008 they were celebrating the fact that it’s no longer going to be on the current grounds that they were on and they were going to move across the street. As a Yankee fan, I felt that even Shea Stadium should’ve never been torn down as well.

Unfortunately I was never able to go to the original Yankee stadium. But I have been to the new one in the bronx.

The worst thing was to tear down the old stadium. Now it is a parking garage. Will never go to another game again. Will never go to another baseball game again..

The old Yankee Stadium, in all her glory was like going to a church! They never ever should have torn it down!! The new stadium doesnt have that aura! Yankee Stadium was there with Wrigley, Fenway, Dodgers Stadium, it was baseball!!

Crazy to think just 15 years ago the Yankees were the most popular team

Mike Burke, the President of the Yankees from 66-73, had more to do with the renovation of Yankee Stadium than Steinbrenner.

Should have been a historical sight.

17:11 love that shot

She will be back. In 80 years when they need another new stadium the next stadium will be built on the exact spot as the old Yankee Stadium. She will be back.

The Red Sox would never tear down Fenway Park because it’s part of their culture So I don’t know why this historic stadium had to be demolished

Fenway has more going for it, the old Yankee Stadium was falling apart and was way too crammed and obsolete

What I remember that when Roger Maris hit #61. The fans didn't like that Roger Maris was the home run king they wanted Mickey Mantle.

So why the hell did they tear it down? Money trumps Yankee tradition.

I miss that place. Also hate the new stadium

what do you hate about the new stadium stupid

I understand there were structural issues that I guess they felt couldn’t b corrected with more restructuring but how can u call the new building “Yankee Stadium”? it seems disrespectful 2 me. Yankee Stadium doesn’t exist anymore. I can never go back 2 that place I went 2 with my brothers as a young fan. I have not visited the new place and not sure if I ever will. they should call it Yankee Stadium II.

I still wish the playing field was kept in the original spot......would have been worth a few years on the road or a temporary place to keep the original location and home plate.

@@SuperPhilly5 yeah...but the exact same spot on which the original yankees playing field was located, where everyone from Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Reggie Jackson, Thurmon Munson, Don Mattingly, Derick Jeeter, and so on actually played the game and world series games were won is now a park with a little leage ball field and soccer field, would have been nice for tradition if the yankees could have kept the new stadium on the original spot.....at least it is not a parking lot and and kids can use it.

That's what my respectively to "THE HOUSE THAT RUTH BUILT."🍺🍻GO YANKEES! GO YANKEES! GO YANKEES! GO YANKEES!

Broke my heart when they tore down the orange bowl, I geuss nothing last forever 😢
