Last Season of ‘The House that Ruth Built’
If you are one of those fans who have always wanted to see a game at the Yankee Stadium and feel a rush as soon as you get to The Bronx, this is the perfect season for you to be at this grand arena in person and bid it goodbye yourself. As a tribute to this traditional field, some of baseball’s biggest events will take place at the Yankee Stadium this year.
Here is a look into the Yankee Stadium world and plans for its final season:
Located at East 161st Street and River Avenue in The Bronx, The Yankee Stadium has hosted Yankees home games since 1923 and has a capacity of 57,545. It was formerly the home of the New York Giants football team and once hosted dozens of boxing’s most famous fights.
Yankee Stadium is one of the most famous sports venues in the United States, due to its primary occupants having won more World Series championships than any other team. Its nickname, ‘The House that Ruth Built’, comes from the iconic Babe Ruth, the baseball superstar whose prime years coincided with the beginning of the Yankees’ winning history.
In 2006, the Yankees began construction on a new $1.3 billion stadium in public parkland adjacent to Yankee Stadium. The Yankees are expecting to open the 2009 season in their new home. Once the new stadium opens, most of the old stadium, including all of the above ground structure, is to be demolished to become parkland.
Seen as a fitting tribute to ‘The Cathedral of Baseball’, the 2008 Pro Baseball All Star Game will be played at the Yankee Stadium, in addition to all the much anticipated New York Yankees’ games.
2008 Pro Baseball All Star Game
The 2008 Baseball All Star Game will be the 79th mid-season match between the stars of the American League (AL) and the National League (NL). It will be played on July 15 at the Yankee Stadium in The Bronx, New York, home of the New York Yankees of the American League.
2008 New York Yankees season
The 2008 New York Yankees season is the 106th season for this franchise. They started the season Ranked #1 in the AL and beat the Toronto Blue Jays on April 1 thereby winning their 1st 2008 season Pro Baseball game.
