It really doesn’t get much better than Yankee Stadium for tradition. Unfortunately, if you haven’t visited this, the 3rd oldest stadium, you need to hurry. Construction has begun on the New Yankee Stadium!
Like all of the old parks, this icon of baseball legends doesn’t have all of the modern conveniences. It also is not the most spacious in seating but the experience of watching a game in the same place that Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig played in is something absolutely special.
The stadium holds you and over 57,000 of your fellow baseball fans. The food is typical baseball fare and the prices are reasonable for today’s major league sports 
venues. The field is grass and ever since it was remodeled a few decades ago, the views of the field are remarkably unrestricted for an old stadium.
A trip to the park would not be complete without a trip to Monument Park as well. Monument Park contains plaques of some the great names and events that have taken place at Yankees Stadium such as Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantel, Billy Martin, and of course Joe DiMaggio. Plaques of the Pope’s service at the stadium are also on display.
A visitor to the stadium should also make sure you take a look at the Big Bat located close to the stadium’s main entrance.
