If you have never gotten a chance to visit Yankee Stadium, well, you never will. Today is the final game to ever be played at Yankee Stadium and you can count me as one of the people lucky enough to have watched a game there. Make no mistake about it though, Yankee Stadium is not just about the Yankees. Sure, Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Derek Jeter and countless other Yankee greats have called Yankee Stadium home, but there have also been great moments in Yankee Stadium from the NFL, College Football, and Boxing. You can check out a timeline of all the great sporting events on the ESPN Yankee Stadium page.
While the place might be labeled a dump by Yankee haters across the nation, there is no doubt that you can feel a certain energy in Yankee Stadium that can only be matched in a select few sporting venues across the country. Today we will say goodbye to a place that has provided so many great memories throughout the history of sports and whether you are a Yankees fan or not that is something that you have to respect and admire about the House That Ruth Built.
