Opening Day: April 16, 2009
Seating capacity: 52,325 (4,561 less than the old stadium)
Field Dimensions: Left field, right field, center, right center and left center, all exactly the same as original Yankee stadium

The home ballpark for New York, this park replaces the original stadium built in 1923. The new ballpark was constructed across the street from the previous (1923) stadium. Construction began in August 2006, but building a new stadium took many years and faced many difficulties. Financing for the stadium was one of the main issues. The projected total cost of the stadium was $1.5 billion; this would make it the second most expensive stadium in the world (Wembley Stadium is the first).
It is a beautiful combination of the history and architectural details from the old stadium, with a touch of 21st century comfort and style. This baseball is a print from a hand painted original that shows the new building from both the outside and the inside view.
Includes a protective, clear lucite display box.
Limited Edition Collectible Baseball with Certificate of Authenticity!
Unforgettaball! baseballs represent the finest collection of art work printed on baseballs in the world. These beautiful decorative baseball designs, begun as paintings by Emily M. Wolfson, make a treasured collectible gift for men, women, and children of all ages. They’re perfect as truly unique gifts for everyone from the parents of that special newborn, to children and teens looking for somehing to brighten their surroundings, to the man or woman looking for the perfect addition to the corporate desktop. At home in any setting, and with a design to thrill nearly everyone, Unforgettaball! baseballs stand out in the world of me-too collectibles and gifts.
To preserve the rich, striking original artwork, we have dedicated ourselves to finding the best possible reproduction of these paintings onto real baseballs. After selling many handpainted baseballs for hundreds of dollars each, we have designed a careful process that maintains the original character and brilliance of Wolfson's paintings while ensuring a final decorative ball that is both durable and reasonably priced.
If you're a New York baseball fan (or just a fan of baseball history), you won't want to miss our Yankee Stadium Opening Day design, capturing the moment on April 18, 1923, or the design highlighting the much loved previous Yankee Stadium's final day from our Unforgettaball!
