About Concourse

For nearly 100 years, New York’s most beloved team has called Concourse home, in the Bronx. The Yankees, one of the most iconic baseball teams in the MLB, have played in Concourse for decades, attracting thousands of visitors per year. Their stadium, also located in Concourse, is one of the most famous stadiums, referenced across pop culture, from Jay-Z in “Empire State of Mind” to the Rat Pack in the 1940s.

The stadium underwent a series of renovations in the twentieth century until 2009, when it was razed and then reconstructed to become a state-of-the-art sports stadium. With half subsidized funds and half private funds, the reconstruction was a huge project that saw a final price tag of 2.3 billion dollars. Though the new stadium was not much bigger than the old, and contained many elements that hearkened back to the original 1923 stadium, its new design featured restaurants, more retail space, more public restrooms, new club seating, and a hall of fame that commemorated the Yankees of the past, including Babe Ruth, Yogi Berra, and Mickey Mantle. Signed baseballs and other historical memorabilia are contained in the stadium’s museum, which makes a trip to the park a varied and entertaining experience for everyone.

In addition to hosting the Yankees, the stadium also holds soccer and college football games on its field during the baseball off-season. Throughout the summer and early fall, concerts are held on the field as well, garnering famous names such as Justin Timberlake, Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, Paul McCartney, and of course, Jay-Z, who famously “made a Yankee hat more famous than a Yankee can.” Joel Osteen has even held services at Yankee Stadium—appropriate, since no doubt many Yankee fans have offered up prayers during tight games over the years.

The construction of Yankee Stadium is an example of how a place can attract diverse audiences for diverse activities. Though New Yorkers are known for their loyalty to their different teams—especially the Yankees—if residents don’t want to come to games, they have an opportunity to enjoy the park for other events.
