Looking over the field at the original Yankee Stadium, The Bronx, New York USA c. 1957. The baseball players are warming up before starting a match against Chicago. The stadium was the home ballpark of the New York Yankees, one of the city's Major League Baseball franchises. It was also the home of the New York Giants National Football League (NFL) team from 1956 to 1973. 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 referred to as ‘The Cathedral of Baseball’. The stadium was built from 1922 to 1923. Its construction was paid for entirely by Yankees owner Jacob Ruppert. The stadium also hosted boxing matches, college football, concerts, Jehovah's Witnesses conventions and three Papal Masses. The condition of the facility worsened in the 1960s and 1970s, prompting its closure for renovation from 1973 to 1975. The renovation significantly altered the appearance of the. In 2006 work began on building a new $2.3 billion stadium in public parkland adjacent to the stadium. The design included a replica of the frieze along the roof (top right) that had been part of the original venue. The new stadium opened in 2009, adopting the ‘Yankee Stadium’ moniker. The original Yankee Stadium was demolished in 2010 and the 8-acre (3.2 ha) site was converted into a public park called Heritage Field.
