In 1903, Frank Farrell and Bill Devery took a chance and purchased the defunct Baltimore franchise of the American League for $18,000.¹ The team moved to Manhattan and was initially known as the “Highlanders,” as their field sat atop one of the city's highest points.

By 1913, the team was officially renamed the “Yankees”, thus embarking on what would become one of the most remarkable journeys any team would ever take in Major League Baseball (MLB). “Yankees” was already a popular nickname used by newspapers and fans, playing off the team’s American identity and its presence in New York.²

Over the next century, the team would accrue numerous World Series championships, players, iconic eras, and a legion of loyal fans. Hall of Fame players like Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, Derek Jeter, and Lou Gehrig only strengthened the Yankees' reputation, making them an unstoppable force in baseball and a recognizable name across the sports industry.³

Approximately 25 minutes from Manhattan, Yankee Stadium is conveniently located at the East 161st Street and River Avenue subway stop.⁴ Located in the Bronx, Yankees stadium has been the team’s home base since opening its current iteration in 2009.

The stadium can hold more than 46,000 fans and features numerous retail and food options, including the iconic Hard Rock Cafe. Its prime location in New York City makes it one of the most sought-after venues in professional sports.

The stadium hosts memorabilia and tributes to the Yankees' rich history. Displays of artifacts and memorabilia can be found throughout the stadium, including a “Ball Wall” of signed baseballs and Thurman Munson’s locker from the original Stadium.⁵

The Great Hall is another must-visit attraction, a 31,000-square-foot space that honors some of the Yankees' most memorable players. Yankees Stadium also hosts a Kids Clubhouse, located on the 300 level in right field, where kids can enjoy a Yankees-themed playground.

The Yankees are among the most accomplished teams in MLB, with numerous awards, Hall of Fame players, and World Series titles.
