Yankee Stadium is the home stadium of the New York Yankees, a major league baseball team. Located at East 161st Street and River Avenue in The Bronx, New York City, it originally opened on April 18, 1923. For the 1974-1975 seasons, the Yankees relocated across town to Shea Stadium while the Stadium underwent extensive renovations (which significantly changed the look of the ballpark). It was reopened on April 15, 1976. The first night game was played on May 28, 1946. It is expected to close in 2008, with a New Yankee Stadium to open in 2009.
