Yankee Stadium [I] (1923 - 1973)

[Elvis]

i'm very much against the new Stadium and the current upper box seats are some of the best in baseball.

I agree. If they had to blow up Yankee Stadium, they should have at least built the new stadium with better sightlines - not worse!

Baseball and trains, it doesn't get any better then that.

Awesome photo there.
The quality of the pic looks like it was just taken recently.

Panoramic view 1947...

TJH, where did you get that panoramic from 1937? Is that from your own collection?

I hate that they will build a new Yankee Stadium.

There will only be one.

Probably I will never have the chance of visiting this one.

It's hard to believe that the rnovated stadium is 30 years old.

TJH-
Just for reference, Andrew Clem doesn't like his diagrams just posted everywhere. He works really hard on them, so he at least likes when people link to his site, since he deserves credit.

Not trying to be a jerk, just a bigtime fan who wants him to get his due.

I appreciate those pics posted. What wonderful gems. I loved the panoramic pic of 47 with the 'no betting' sign. Wonder if ol Larry McPhail put that one up himself?

[TJH1923]

I happened to spend a little bit of time searching google to post some of these pictures. I hope everyone is enjoying them. I am extremely interested in photos of the old stadiums in particular, Yankee Stadium. I also enjoyed the historical dimensions diagrams and thought it would enhance this thread. For those of you who would like to view all of Andrew Clem's material use the web address below: He has a lot of great information.

TJH-
Sorry if my tone sounded angry, I really appreciate the pictures you've posted in the thread. Clem's work is just excellent, so I hope people can take a look at what he's done.

Thanks.
