Home of Philadelphia Phillies. The 43,500-seat ballpark opened its gates for its first official game on April 12, 2004.

YANKEE STADIUM
The new Yankee Stadium, situated just north of the old Yankee Stadium in Bronx, N.Y., combines high-tech luxuries and a familiar architectural aesthetic reminiscent of its predecessor. The most storied franchised moved into its new home on April 6, 2009, against the Baltimore Orioles.
MONUMENT PARK
Yankee Stadium's most famous museum — Monument Park, moved across the street and sits behind the center field wall. Unlike the old days, outfielders won't be running around the monuments chasing batted balls. The new park is fenced in.
Like the old ballpark, fans can walk around the monuments and plaques that commemorate Yankees greats before the game.
There are 16 retired numbers in the park and plaques that are dedicated to various team personnel and to the three Catholic popes who have celebrated Mass at Yankee Stadium.

GREAT HALL
The Great Hall offers plenty of open space, something that old Yankee Stadium's crowded corridors lacked. Tall arches face the exterior and allow natural light in.
Ten banners, each 30 feet tall and faturing photographs of Yankees legends in action, line one wall.
There is plenty of room for concessions and souvenir shops, among the many amenities.
