Yankee Stadium
The House That Jeter Re-Built/Stadiums
The current Yankee Stadium opened in 2009 across the street from the original 'House That Ruth Built.' It cost $2.3 billion to construct, making it one of the most expensive stadiums ever built. It seats 46,537 for baseball and features 56 luxury suites. The short right field porch continues the proud Yankee tradition of being suspiciously friendly to left-handed power hitters.
