Designed to closely mirror the dimensions of the original 1923 Yankee Stadium across the street.

Monument Park beyond the center field wall, transferred from the original stadium — plaques and retired numbers honoring Yankee greats from Ruth to Jeter.
The exterior limestone facade and frieze along the upper deck are exact references to the 1923 stadium.
Great Hall behind home plate — a soaring entry concourse with banners of franchise legends.
Replaced the original Yankee Stadium (1923–2008), which sat directly across 161st Street.

Derek Jeter's 3,000th hit — a home run — on July 9, 2011, becoming the first Yankee to reach the milestone.
Aaron Judge's 62nd home run in 2022, breaking Roger Maris's American League single-season record.
Game 6 of the 2009 World Series — the new park's first championship, won in its inaugural season.
Derek Jeter's walk-off single in his final home game, September 25, 2014.

2011
Jeter's 3,000th hit
Derek Jeter became the first Yankee to record 3,000 hits, doing it in style with a home run off David Price. He went 5-for-5 that day.
2014
Jeter's farewell
In his final home game, Jeter capped his career with a walk-off RBI single in the bottom of the ninth — a fairy-tale ending fitting for the Captain.

Aaron Judge arrives

2022
Judge breaks the AL record
