Yankee Stadium
They wanted a more up-to-date stadium.
Whitney Witt was the first Yankee batter to officially hit in the stadium. Aaron Ward got the frist Yankee hit. For more Yankee information visit http://www.yankeetradition.com/yankeetrivia.htm Hope this helps!!

No, but more and more are now. 6 out of 12 (although teams don't play all their home games at the main home stadium). Teams with domed stadiums: Fukuoka Softbank Hawks (retractable roof that is never retracted during games) Orix Kintetsu Buffaloes Nagayo Chunichi Dragons Tokyo Yomiuri Giants (inflated like the Metrodome) Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters Seibu Lions (but there is a big umbrella, open all the way around the edges so no climate control.) (more being built in the future)
When the old Yankee Stadium opened in 1923, it had ridiculous distances (except where Babe Ruth hit most of his homers). Some fences were over 500 feet from home plate. These dimensions underwent several changes, the final set transposed to the plans for the new stadium, so that all distances in the current Yankee Stadium are nearly identical to last set at the old Yankee Stadium. [There is a chart, still on Wikipedia (in green) which shows the old stadium's distances in their historic light.] Click on the links below for more information. Everyone made a good answer to this question. Only because I have the figures on the Stadium at some point in time, I thought I thought I would share them. Left field was 281 feet center field was 490 feet and right field was 295 feet. Congrats to all!
$13,500 for a private suite right behind home plate. $7,000 for outfield suites $12 - $1250 per seat for game day tickets If you need more info regarding suites at Yankee Stadium, then please email me at ticketnyg@yahoo.com. We have contacts with suite owners throughout the country for all stadiums.
Their stadium, although being historic and a monument to greatness, is old and behind the stadium curve throughout sports. It obviously old when you walk through there, pieces fall off here and there. The new Stadium is literally across a two lane street from the current Yankee Stadium. It will be more up to date as far as technology is concerned but still obtain the same Yankee mystique.

Basic Greed- even tho it has fewer seats- there are more skyboxes and expensive seats
Baseball fans honored him on April 27, 1947, which was declared Babe Ruth Day for every organized baseball league in the United States. His jersey number 3 was retired at his last appearance at Yankee Stadium on June 13, 1948, which also commemorated the stadium's 25th anniversary.
