With the history of the entire area behind it, there’s very little doubt that Yankee Stadium should be considered a national treasure. It’s as historically significant as any man-made structure in the United States, and it’s definitely one of the most relevant sports stadiums in the entire country – and probably the most important baseball stadium in the world.

For decades, Yankee Stadium has been home to arguably the greatest professional sports team in American sports – the New York Yankees. Countless stories of victories and defeats, of legends and heroes past, still resound within the walls of the stadium. Here are a few interesting facts about the famed ballpark.
