Yankee Stadium

The Bronx�s Yankee Stadium was designed to be the grandest, most impressive and intimidating sports arena ever. Over the years, the stadium�s mystique and grandeur have been exponentially enhanced by championship boxing matches, professional and college football, Negro League games, papal visits, and the New York Yankees baseball club�s iconic reputation as the gold standard of professional team sports. Yankee Stadium has also been a witness to the 20th-century development of the Bronx from a small suburb to a large urban borough, thus forging a special and complex relationship with its hometown.
