YANKEE STADIUM 🏟 RANKS WITH THE COLOSSEUM IN ROME OPEN IN 1923 THE FIRST TRIPLE---DECKED STRUCTURE OF ITS KIND AND THE FIRST BALLPARK WITH THE TITLE STADIUM 🏟 YANKEE STADIUM 🏟 *☆*☆*☆*☆*☆*.

Can't believe Toyota was advertising way back then.

I chuckle somewhat when I hear modern baseball announcers remark about how 'far' it is to hit a homerun in some ballparks (like they talk about the 'new' left field dimension in Oriole Park at Camden Yards). Yankee stadium had insane dimensions except for down the left field line and the right field porch. If you weren't a super pull-hitter, you had a long way to go by today's standards. (Same could be said about the old Polo Grounds).

Nothing like the old Yankee stadium.

That was the real Yankee Stadium massive the new Yankee stadium is pathetic

the best ever.used to attend day night double headers. 1959 thru 1965 Mantle and Maris 61 Home Run race to 61.Got to see M and M go back to back homer's,twice.,Yogi, Howard,the Moose,Hector, Ford, Can still smell the place, Yankees owned baseball. Maybe 75,000 capacity.Great times. sat next to left field bullpen,visitors pen. You could talk to the players.Between pitch's Yogi who did play some left field, would turn and yak it up with fans.50 cent bleacher seats yes 50 cents.1960.I was blessed to experience the REAL YANKEE STADIUM. Thanks so MUCH for this video. Time for a Balentine Blast.

i went to the REAL yankee stadium in 1968, old timrers game-yanks lost 3-2 to minnesota-jim merritt...mantle hit 2 solo homers....then my dad took me in 69, doubleheader vs the redsux...yanks won game 1 and lost game 2 as ken brett, brother of mental case george brett pitched for the red sux-plus hit a homer and had 3 hits....worst part was getting to our hotel avoiding the ghetto thugs well we made it! we watched the ending on tv of the mets sweeping a doubleheader from the puerto rican pirates, ezch game 1-0....the mets pitcher drove in the only runs in each game vs the caribbeans.....

shatty music but this is the ONLY yankee stadium....the rebuild in 76? it was cookie cutter/borrrring...the 'new' stadium?. a place for the zionists....

Der Ort an dem am 19. Juni 1936 Max Schmeling Joe Louis in der 12. Runde durch K. O. bezwang und zur einer deutschen Legende wurde.

Mason Williams, Classical Gas

crap music.

Thanks for this video. My mother, uncle, their cousin grew up poor in brooklyn. My grand aunt and great grandmother used to save all week to tale them to baseball games. In the cheap bleacher seats. Wish I could see pictures of those people in that seating area…and that era up closer. Yankees Stadium was the only MLB stadium I ever went to in NYC, as a kid but that was 1981.

I get such a kick out of the fact that nearly all of these photos were taken by fans like myself.

What is the name of the second song played?

Days of my youth.,.going to orig YS w my Dad n brother.

NOW THAT WAS THE STADIUM OF BASEBALL NEVER SHOULD OF BEEN TORNED DOWN IT WAS A LANDMARK.

I am heartbroken that they replaced The Historic Yankee Stadium.

What music is this?

I believe it should have been turned into a museum, the players that called this stadium home. GREAT ONES Are not around anymore.

As a 22 year old orioles fan, I can honestly say this video adds almost a ghostly and eerie vibe to the old stadium. But I have to say I’ve never wanted to go back in time more too see this stadium with my own eyes.

Baseball meant more to people back then.

Oh! You, Babe Ruth! The Building and Opening of Old Yankee Stadium kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYGTo4OAm9d7b5I This new music video celebrates the building and opening of The House That Ruth Built. The Yankees first played there 100 years ago today, on April 18, 1923 - the most sensational Opening Day in baseball history - at the greatest stadium since the Coliseum of Rome.

1st NYY game was 4/30/67, a cap day Sunday doubleheader vs LA Angels. Game 1 Whitey Ford starts but got a no decision. Mickey hit 2. 1 LH. 1 RH including a 3 run game winning walk off HR in the bottom of the 10th. Hal Reniff got the W. What a thrill as a 10 YR old. Also, attended Mickey Mantle Day 6/8/69. Father's Day. Sect 23 lower box seats. Iconic day. I found us in the KZbin video as Mickey passes by in the golf cart waving.

If Judge and Stanton had to hit in a Yankee Stadium that had the same dimensions as the 1960's their numbers would be quite different. I really feel for Moose Skowron, DiMaggio, and more recently Dave Winfield and Don Baylor.

The caption says Old Yankee Stadium 1923 to 1973. However, it seems as if none of the shots show Yankee Stadium in its early years before 1937 when there was no third deck behind right field and when the deepest part of the stadium was 490 feet.

This place and Memorial Stadium. If I make it to heaven I thank the LORD for letting me go.there to see ballgames.

You used to be able to exit via the outfield. I walked on the same field as Babe, Lou, DiMag and Mick!

I got to go to just one game at the original stadium: 9/2/1973, a 1-0 loss to Baltimore. I was 7 & it was my first game in person. Was in the upper deck with my parents & there were hippies next to us smoking pot. So it my first exposure to that too, lol. After that, there were just 11 more games there, so made it just in time.

Absolute crime that they demolished that iconic piece of American history. I’m glad I got to attend games there in the 60s and 70s

that was the year i quit pulling for the yanks. making the fences only 410, then completely tearing it down and building the hitter friendly one they have now along with steinberrener being such a crybaby was too much. judge hits one 450 ft now, its gone by 40 feet, back then it would barely make the warning track.

I like the pictures but I had to turn the sound off. I don't know why people feel the need to put music to everything.

My grandfather told me that the tragedy isn't that the old Yankee Stadium isn't there anymore. It's that the new park has $2,000/game seats. He's been priced out of the new place for life.

I first went to Yankee Stadium in 1962 as a 7 year old. Been there countless times since. The 7th inning clouds of tobacco smoke that hung over the field.... walking onto the field after the game exiting thru the RF bullpen...the CF train.... the monuments in CF, in play.....25 cent scorecard and $1.25 Yankee yearbook.....Bob Shephard announcing the lineups.... standing O's for The Mick just for moving into the on deck circle...

Went there with my dad many times what a shame

In 1971 it cost a dollar to sit in the bleachers. I lost count how many times I went.. am now 69 today September 30 2022

The Lord’s ballpark

463 to center

2:07 During introductions, The Yankee Clipper walked right past Bobby Kennedy, ostensibly in reference to the Kennedy's relationship with his former wife.

Thing I hate most about the new stadium is they built it on Macombs Dam Park, so we lost the view of the Bronx County courthouse beyond centerfield. I always felt that view was part of the ambience of Yankee Stadium as much as the stadium itself. Also, you can't see it as clearly from the Harlem River Drive. I always liked riding past it in the evening when it was lit up, and the way the lights reflected in the water.

This video is pretty heavy on the 60's and 70's. Where are the 20's-50's. Think I saw only one shot.

CANNOT believe they tore it down!!! Thank God the Red Sox and the Cubs have more integrity to leave their ball parks alone for the most part.

Why in the hell did they tear it down they should have at least made it inti a museum

So sad

That was my dream to visit the stadium that Ruth built. Wish I could back in time to do it. Now that I'm 80, time is running out, plus that original ballpark no longer exists.

Photography of the 60s and 70s was so beautiful!

Some ball parks just have the feel of baseball. The original Yankee Stadium did, Fenway Park does (despite a few flaws), and today it's Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Today's parks seem to miss that feel, they're more concerned with looking good in pictures, having the best concessions and such. The upper decks are a high up and a long way from the field. I love seeing Oracle Park on TV but can't really see it as a place to play baseball. MIller Park? What were they thinking? I'd rather have the flaws of the original Yankee Stadium than sit with binoculars in the upper deck of Citizens Bank Park.

Greed ruined everything.

I remember going as far back as 1971. I use to love seeing the relief pitcher get driven in by golf cart, before it became a custom pinstriped Datsun. They drove along the warning track until they got tired of being pelted and just drove directly from the bullpen over the outfield grass. And for a buck you had a great bleacher seat and for 50 cents more you could sit in General Admission in the upper deck which was behind the support beams.

and the Mick! he was so cute!

great music for a classic timepiece
