A propos de cet article

This is, of course, a model of the 'old' Yankee Stadium, as the new stadium opened in 2009. The packaging outer dimensions are approximately 6 inches by 10 inches by 20 inches. The model is in a styrofoam box. This is offered 'as new' because upon inspection it appears that the original packaging around the model is intact. It is the policy of Department 56 that at the end of each year means the retirement of some of our most beloved products. Each year, certain pieces are selected to be retired from production. Once that decision has been made, the mold is broken. This limits the number of pieces. This model of Yankee Stadium has been out of production for over a decade and has had an active 'afterlife' in the retired collectibles market. The model of Yankee Stadium include the unique feature that make it a favorite among baseball fans. The back panel features historical information about the ballpark The packaging states that the line of stadiums was "Created for the growing number of consumers who use lighted buildings as part of their home decor, this new line offers endless possibilities for decorative displays.

The contents are: Porcelain facade with Display Anywhere Lighting and traditional light cord adapter ring and four felt pads to protect display surface. The original Yankee Stadium was a stadium located in the Bronx, New York City. It was the home ballpark of the New York Yankees, one of the city's Major League Baseball franchises, from 1923 to 1973 and again from 1976 to 2008. The stadium hosted 6,581 Yankees regular season home games during its 85-year history. It was also the home of the New York Giants National Football League (NFL) team from 1956 through September 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 often been referred to as "The Cathedral of Baseball". The stadium was built from 1922 to 1923 for $2.4 million ($345 million in 2019 dollars). Its construction was paid for entirely by Yankees owner Jacob Ruppert, who was eager to have his own stadium after sharing the Polo Grounds with the New York Giants baseball team the previous ten years. Located only a half-mile (0.8 km) north of the upper Manhattan location of the Polo Grounds, Yankee Stadium opened for the 1923 season and was hailed at the time as a one-of-a-kind facility in the country. Over the course of its history, Yankee Stadium became one of the most famous venues in the United States, having hosted a variety of events and historic moments during its existence. While many of these moments were baseball-related—including World Series games, no-hitters, perfect games, and historic home runs—the stadium also hosted boxing matches, the 1958 NFL Championship Game (referred to as The Greatest Game Ever Played), college football, concerts, and religious services. The original Yankee Stadium was demolished in 2010, two years after it closed, and the 8-acre (3.2 ha) site was converted into a public park called Heritage Field. As new (Contents in original wrapping, minor wear to outer packaging). Model of New York Yankees Baseball Stadium #56.58103 Released in 2005 and retired in 2007.…
