1923-2008? Below Is The New Yankee Stadium Being Constructed In 1974 & 1975

The Original Stadium was expanded-Once in 1928 & again in 1937. The Original Tier(Upper)Level was a lot smaller and was expanded upward & downward over 1974 & 1975. The Original SITE is being demolished, as the Original Stadium including the 1928 & 1937 Expansions, was demolished & re-built as a New Stadium, completed in 1976. What is really being demolished is essentially a 32 1/2 Year Old 2nd Yankee Stadium. Because when I was at the Last Ever Game in the 1937 Expanded Yankee Stadium on Sunday, 09/30/1973, this means that this Stadium was NOT in continuous use from 1923 to 2008, it means that Shea Stadium, now the site of the Citi Field Parking Lot, served for 44.5 years in Queens, including being the Yankees Home in 1974 & 1975 & for 1 Game in 1998.

One can actually say that both Major League Baseball & The NY Yankees were being disingenuous in regards to the length of service of Yankee Stadium, which was NOT in continuous use for 86 Seasons, as both Yankee Stadiums on the same site used two different architects.

Let the Film by "The Stadium Guy" speak for itself.
