The stadium hosted 6,581 Yankees regular season home games during its 85-year history. It was also the former home of the New York Giants football team from 1956 through the first part of the 1973–74 football season. The stadium’s nickname, “The House That Ruth Built”,is derived from Babe Ruth, the baseball superstar whose prime years coincided with the stadium’s opening and the beginning of the Yankees’ winning history. It has also been known as “The Big Ballpark in The Bronx”, “The Stadium”, and “The Cathedral of Baseball”,More info:wiki

New York – Doug Marrone knows all about Syracuse University’s recent push to have an increased presence here in the Big Apple. You know, “Orange in the Apple” and all that. The head coach of the Syracuse University football team doesn’t need to be reminded that as far as he’s concerned the Orange has always been in the Apple.

“We played the first game there,” Marrone said. “Doesn’t that say something about who we are and how long we’ve been in that place? There’s a lot of history there.”

CHALLENGE. The original Yankee Stadium, built in 1923, was one of the most iconic structures in the game of baseball. Enveloped in history, mystery and an environment many thought would be impossible to emulate, “the house that Babe built” was nearing the end of its storied life in the early 2000s. We were bestowed the honor of continuing its legacy by creating a new American icon.

INNOVATION. The new Yankee Stadium, completed in 2009, captures the revelry and pride needed to carry the most storied franchise in American sport into the next generation. The ballpark’s skin is highlighted by a four-story limestone and granite façade inspired by the 1923 Bronx Stadium. Its field geometry mimics the original ballpark’s, challenging the next generation of heroes wearing pinstripes.
