— a note from the studio

“The current Yankee Stadium opened in April 2009, a block north of the old one, on the same River Avenue grid the trains have rattled along since 1923. The white frieze along the upper deck quotes the original park; the limestone facade reads as a civic building, not an arena. From the elevated 4 train platform at 161st Street the field is already in view before the turnstile. from the studio

— about Yankee Stadium Bronx

The place, in three passes.

A little of what's known, in case you fall down the rabbit hole — or want to go see it yourself.
— the place

The current Yankee Stadium sits in the Concourse neighbourhood of the South Bronx, bounded by East 161st Street, River Avenue, and East 164th Street. It opened on April 2, 2009, replacing the original 1923 Yankee Stadium that stood one block south, on the lot now occupied by Heritage Field. The new park seats about 46,537 for baseball, was designed by Populous, and cost roughly $2.3 billion to build. The limestone-and-granite exterior deliberately echoes the 1923 building.

— the stone

The exterior is Indiana limestone above a granite base, with cast-stone arches running the length of the public facades. The white painted-steel frieze along the upper deck reproduces the silhouette of the 1923 stadium's copper frieze, a detail the original park lost in its 1973 to 1976 renovation. Monument Park, set behind the centre-field wall, holds the retired-number plaques and the bronze monuments to Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, and Mantle that have moved with the team across three buildings.

— the visit

The stadium is reached on the 4 train or the B and D trains to 161st Street–Yankee Stadium, with the field visible from the elevated platform. Metro-North runs a Yankees–E. 153rd Street station served by the Hudson Line on game days. Gates open ninety minutes before first pitch for most regular-season games, three hours before for marquee games. The bleacher entrance is on East 161st Street; Monument Park closes forty-five minutes before first pitch.

— common questions

What people ask.

A few questions we get about Yankee Stadium Bronx — and about bringing the piece home.
— about the place

The current Yankee Stadium opened on April 2, 2009, with an exhibition game against the Chicago Cubs. The first regular-season game followed on April 16, 2009, against the Cleveland Indians.

On the lot one block south of the current stadium, now occupied by Heritage Field. The original park opened in 1923, was rebuilt in 1973 to 1976, and was demolished after the team moved across the street.

About 46,537 for baseball, making it one of the larger Major League ballparks. Capacity expands for non-baseball events such as the NYCFC matches the stadium has hosted since 2015.

Populous, the Kansas City firm that designed Camden Yards and most of the retro-classic ballparks of the 1990s and 2000s. The total construction cost was roughly $2.3 billion.

An open-air walk behind the centre-field wall holding the team's retired-number plaques and the bronze monuments to Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, and Mickey Mantle. It is open to ticket-holders before games.

The 4 train or the B and D trains to 161st Street–Yankee Stadium. The field is visible from the elevated platform before you walk through the turnstile.

Yes. The Yankees–E. 153rd Street station is served by the Hudson Line on game days and major event days, putting riders on the east side of the ballpark in a short walk.

— about the piece in your home

Yes. It travels well for long-time fans, former Bronx residents, and people who took a parent or child to their first game. A Medium with a handwritten studio note carries as a birthday or retirement piece.

Sports-room and den interiors with leather and warm wood, mid-century studies, and Maximalist rooms with jewel tones. The navy and limestone palette of the stadium reads well against walnut and brass.

Yes. Den and home-bar interiors lean on memorabilia hung as art rather than as a wall of frames. The Yankee Stadium piece reads as a single curated focal piece rather than a poster.

Above a standard sofa we recommend a single Large or a four-tile Mural. Above a console table a Medium reads in scale; for a wider wall the nine-tile Mural carries the room.

Yes. Order the Dura Satin or Matte finish for any room with humidity. The colour is slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, so steam and splash do not affect it.

A soft microfibre cloth with plain water is enough. For everyday dust a dry pass; for the kitchen, a damp cloth followed by a dry one. No abrasives, no ammonia.

Yes. Every WenderVista piece is original work from our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee. No licensing, no stock art, no third-party prints, no team-licensed merchandise.
