Yankee Stadium in the Bronx is the home of the Yankees, baseball's most decorated franchise, with Monument Park honoring its legends beyond the outfield wall. The modern building echoes the grand facade of the original 1923 stadium across the street while adding contemporary amenities. Beyond baseball, it also hosts the annual Pinstripe Bowl and occasional Army Black Knights college football games. The atmosphere on a big night, especially in October, is among the most storied in American sports.
The current stadium opened on April 16, 2009, replacing the original 1923 ballpark, and the Yankees won the 2009 World Series in their very first season there. It carries forward the legacy of 27 World Series titles and the aura of "the House that Ruth Built," with Monument Park relocated intact from the old stadium. Since 2010 it has hosted the annual Pinstripe Bowl and several Army Black Knights football games, including Army-Notre Dame in 2010. The stadium remains the centerpiece of Yankees history and Bronx sports culture.
