Just incredible footage. We are in such a different world.

This is the decade where many historic stadiums finally met their ends, and a new generation of baseball began. Glad you were able to get good footage of Old Yankee Stadium for the younger generations to find.

In an alternate universe the old stadium was renovated in 2009 and the new stadium was never built. I wish I lived in that universe

Lifelong Red Sox fan, living in Florida, who just visited New York and took a tour of the new Yankee Stadium. And while it’s very nice and looks very comfortable for the spectators, it certainly lacks the aura and intimidation factor of the old place. I was so glad I was able to see nine games in original Yankee Stadium. After the tour, my wife, daughter and I walked on the old stadium grounds which is just across the street. I actually had a few tears in my eyes thinking about all the great baseball and all the great players that played on that spot. I can’t imagine how I would feel if they ever tore down Fenway Park . I think baseball lost a lot when old Yankee Stadium was taken to the ground. After all, it was the iconic House that Ruth built. 😢

I'm 25 years old and have been to a total 31 Yankee games as a fan. I went to 9 total games at the old Yankee Stadium from 2003-2008. Even though the new stadium has been around in my life longer than the old one, it really can't measure up to the mystique, aura, charm and beauty that was found daily at the House that Ruth built. Still miss it to this day. (I also miss that old Utz Potato Chips ad in right-centerfield).

As a Sox fan, that stadium was magical. Something about it the new one just can’t capture.

Those fans never thought, what was about to happen, 5 months later. That is tragic.

Nice hidden gem of the old Yankee stadium

As a Mets fan I appreciate this video in more ways than 1. Old yankee stadium had a different feel the second you walked through the doors. You felt the history. I truly enjoyed and miss pre 9/11 days. New Yorkers as a whole were just doing way better, the city was incredible. The quality of this video for 21 years ago is great the colors and everything look awesome, seeing the players in their primes who are now all retired, I watched MLB then as a Mets fan but seeing all of these players from a fan perspective here was pretty damn awesome. Good job and hope you’re doing great.

As a Phillies fan born in 2000, I wish i could've seen baseball in the 90s and early 2000s. Such a different time back then.

This is awesome footage. I was 17 back in 2001 and always wanted to go to the old Yankee stadium and Shea stadium. I have been a lifelong Texas ranger fan growing up in DFW but always appreciated the older ballparks.

Greatest ball park in baseball history!

Nice job on this video. I have attended all 3 versions of Yankee Stadium 1st game 4/30/67 DH vs Angels. Mickey hit 2 including a walk off 3 run shot bottom of the 10th. Also attended Mickey Mantle Day 6/8/69. Last game was in Sept of 1973 (prior to rennovation). Attended zero games at Shea (74-75). Attended 100s of games at the renovated version (one in this video including many playoff & 1 world series. The George Bush 1st pitch game (post 9/11) later this year of this video. Attended 2 games on 2009 at the new YS & never returned. Huge mistake in my opinion in tearing down this cathedral of baseball. Have since moved away . NYC has gone to the dogs. You can have it. TY for posting this gem.

This captures my childhood in a nutshell. Thanks for making me cry

If you don't think the original Yankee stadium is the greatest baseball field of all time, its because you never got to go there. - a Mets fan -

Thank you for sharing this footage!❤

Omg the best times of my life this is my childhood right here for my 12 bday in 2002 my uncle got my name up on the board happy bday Christopher drager from TRENTON NJ 6/29/2002 I ALSO GOT BARRY BONDS AUTOGRAPH THAT YEAR, THERE WILL NEVER BE ANYTHING LIKE OLD YANKEE STADIUM AGAIN IM JUST HAPPY I GOT TO EXPERIENCE IT IM FOREVER LUCKY

Never lose this footage!! F’n amazing!

Such a great video… I never got to go to the old stadium and that breaks my heart. But I’ve been a life long Yankees fan and I finally went to nyc last month and I got to see 2 Yankee games in back to back days and I’m so happy I finally went. It took me 38 years to get there but I finally did!

This gotta be one of the coolest videos I’ve ever seen wow

Eventually, all things change, but this video should be preserved for posterity.

This was the real stadium. The cathedral. Loved this place. Great footage.

This is some unbelievable footage wow thank you for sharing

Thanks for posting this. I went to my first game at Yankee Stadium in 01 and went to at least one game a year until they built the new one. Brings back a lot of memories

Thank you so much for sharing this treasured memory of your visit to the real Stadium with your Dad. Truly, we can all see how great a father he is and how special it must have been growing up watching the greatest ball club ever. Hope he had a great 80th birthday and hope you both keep health and well. God bless and let's go Yankees!

Never been to New York. Born and raised an Angels fan and always loved when the angels played the Yankees on the road because I loved to see this ball park in the background. Thanks for a great video

Wow old Yankee stadium and this is a few months before 9/11 what a great video

so cool, thanks for sharing. as a Giants fan living in the Bay, always will regret never being able to visit old Yankee Stadium.. precious video right here

I went to this game. Great memories. Thanks for posting

Yankee fan my entire life, been watching for over 20 years. Never had a chance to go to Yankee Stadium, it was closed three days before my 15th birthday and I don't live in New York either. Any video showing the inside of the stadium from a spectator's POV is priceless to me.

Thank you guys! Amazing videos. #goodtimes

Awesome vid of the old cathedral. Glad I watched til end!

Man New York in the 90’s and early 2000’s was such a great time to live, besides 9/11 obviously. Todays NYC lost all of its soul and the culture is just screwed up. Overall world is in shambles too. Great video and cool archive. Took me way back to a simpler time of living

GOD WHAT A TIME IT WAS TO BE ALIVE THINK ABOUT IT 96-2003 WE SAW THE BEST BASEBALL EVER PLAYED, THAT STADIUMS CONCRETE USED TO SHAKE WHEN UT GOT Loud IT WAS THE GREATEST HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE IN BASEBALL HISTORY, THEY WERE NEVER AND I MEAN EVER OUT OF ANY GAME thx for this bro

Thank you for this

Knoblauch, O'Neil, Jeter, Brosius, Jorge, Bernie... those were the days!!

I wanted to see if any videos were done from the stands in old Yankee Stadium, and wow this is a historical document. Thanks so much for uploading, a great game, and a beautiful experience with your dad too. Man I miss those days, made me emotional watching this, I miss my dad.

Awesome video, thank you

Very cool hearing Bob Sheppard on the P.A., and how the audio is in stereo, so the viewer/listener can see what it was like to see and hear the great old Yankee Stadium

Wow sure brings back tons of great memories! I am from NJ. Although l live in Ohio now. But when l was growing up my dad and l went too almost 100 Yankees Stadium. And those were among the best times l ever had!!

I went to 1 game there in '97, drove up from MD with 2 friends, 1 was a big NYY fan. As an Orioles fan I kept quiet. The atmosphere was good, the fans were enthusiastic, I got the historic baseball vibe, the stadium was old/run down enough to remind me of Memorial in Baltimore (peeing in troughs in the men's room, for example). Glad I took the time to go.

Glad I came across this. Always wondered what the vibe was at the og stadium. I was young back then couldn’t really go visit and this video was great to watch felt the energy. Dodgers are my team but I love the game as a whole. Can’t wait to visit next season when the boys in blue are in town 😎

Majority of my family are Yankee fans being born in New Jersey, have great respect for them for that reason, but when my parents split I found myself with my mom moving to California and being raised there I choose to root for the local sports teams in MLB that is the San Francisco Giants. With that being said I've been to the Old Yankee Stadium a few times when I did visit my dad in New Jersey. Such a spectacular place and sad to see it gone.

Someone gonna be looking back at this video in the year 2022..

I REALLY miss this stadium and I do not like the new Yankee stadium. It was always a pleasure going there while this new stadium just feels like a mall. I used to take the 4 train to school so I basically watched almost everyday the new stadium being built and then the old stadium slowly being taken apart 😢

I wish I would of been 18 in 1996 man, that 3-peat must of been magical to witness. Nothing will ever compare to the House that Ruth Built.

only went to this stadium once as a kid wit my moms, this vid is treasure

Great video guys ! I’m a die hard Yankees fan and I must say this ballpark was the best I miss it a lot , the new stadium doesn’t have the aura or charm like the old Yankee Stadium , hot dogs and peanuts and Freddy Sez passing around the spoon to bang on the bell and Bob Shepperd announcing the players , new place too commercial imo . And those upper deck seats you have are actually some of the best seats that’s where I usually sat .

What a time to be ALIVE YOU GIVE THAT PARKING ATTENDANT 25$ YOUR CUTTING THE LINE AND YOUR CAR FIRST MY FATHER TAUGHT ME WELL RIP POP #LEGENDS NEVER DIE

My first baseball game ever was also in 2001 at Yankee Stadium with my dad. Pretty sure it was early in the season too, I know it was against Seattle and we sat on the third base side in the lower deck. The rest, as they say, is history.

God this is so cool. Two months before my 4th birthday

Mets fan here, but went to Yankee Stadium twice. Last time I went was in 1999 and my seats were pretty much where yours were here. El Duque pitched and it was cool to see his high leg kick in person. It was cool to walk out that tunnel and see the bright lights and billboards in center. Ironically my first Mets game was April of 2001, so time wise this video is very nostalgic for me. I gotta admit even though the Mets game was great, Shea didn’t have the same feel as Yankee Stadium.

What a great old stadium. It's a shame they couldn't keep it like Fenway, Wrigley and now Dodger. But the new Stadium has more space and comfort.

I was born in 2007 and didnt get to experience the old yankee stadium, it seemed like the crowd was more engaged then than now

I really miss this place. The New Stadium still does not feel like home to me.

Cool! Never been to old Yankee stadium sadly. -Cubs fan

I miss old Yankee Stadium. I’m so glad I saw it back in August 2005 against the Rays. I’ve yet to go to the new field but I know it’s just not the same.

Damn how I miss the old park.

Amazing. I live in Orange County. Such vivid memories of my dad taking us kids down to Shea or Yankee Stadium for a day game. Going over Tappan Zee bridge, he’d always point downstream and tell us to look for the twin towers. It was a coin toss at that time in the morning, as the fog would occasionally block view of the WTC. Old Yankee and Shea were truly awesome stadiums. Nosebleeds were angled so steeply,when you’d walk up or down to your seat it felt like you could slip and go overboard to the field below lol. It’s actually terrifying to sit and think how fast time goes. Feels like yesterday. Not 20+ years ago. Thanks for the memories.

The Yankees should of just built a new stadium over top the old one and played games somewhere else for the time it takes to build the new stadium, even if it does take 5 years or more. I understand old Yankee Stadium had been renovated and alot was different from the Ruth era but how awesome would it have been to be in the same vicinity as all that history. From Ruth and Gehrig to Mantle and all the Yankee greats. Im not even a Yankee fan but their history is too notch. I guess every era or generation will have to move on and a new era will always rise. Who knows maybe one day people will be watching this video and be intrigued just like we are when we see old footage from a bygone era.

I remember doing blow up in the nosebleeds of the stadium in the mid '80s seeing Don mattingly and Ricky Henderson while myself and the rest of the animals up there cooked up out of our minds jawing. Man good times

Great camera for its time

Finally went to nyc last week. Got to see the new stadium. I’m not a Yankees fan at all. But I’m jealous I am far too late in experiencing the old place over the new one.

What a memory man !!!

What a wonderful video of friends having a great day at an historic ballpark. This is so beautiful. After a visit to the Hall of Fame, I got to take my son there the year it closed. It was fan appreciation day and they gave us a really cool stuffed bear emblazoned with the NY logo. Walking into that stadium with my then young son was magical. Then Bob Shepard’s voice broke through the overcast day. It was like God himself was speaking. I glanced over at my son, so naive to it all, and got emotional. He was 9. He went on to be drafted by Tampa Bay 9 years later. I’ll never forget that day and I hope he never does, either. (Side note-we live in Arizona. I was at all four home games of the ‘01 World Series. Sorry Yanks fans but we know how that one ended. I’m a journalist and was able to be in both clubhouses following the Gonzales walk off. Despite the loss, it was the classiest pro sports clubhouse I’ve ever been in. Seeing Joe Torre in the managers office was like seeing the chairman of the board of a major corporation - complete class despite a crushing loss. Another unforgettable Yankee moment.)

These were the days, not a fan, holding their smartphones. Everyone just enjoying the game. Life was better in that time.

My very first game was at the end of August 1964 - the original park. Yanks against the Red Sox. Yanks won 9 to 3, Mick hit one out as did Hector Lopez in for Roger Maris. When they renovated the stadium in 75 and 76 people said the same thing. It didn't feel the same. Even Joe Di said it was no longer Yankee Stadium. The place still grew on people. Give the new park a chance.

Very cool. Thanks. Miss the old place. So many fun times there. The current stadium simply not the same. It's a band box. The old stadium, with the porch and death valley gave the Yanks an edge. The current one really gives the Yanks no advantage. All the other teams can come in and light up the place.

This is a better live view angle than on TV.

Red Sox fan here. I was born 2 days before this.

Another great feature of the Old Yankee Stadium was Bob Sheppard

That’s the one where Paul got mad cause he thought it was a fly out 😂

That's great and look forward to watching. But what would really be cool is some footage on original Yankee Stadium before they cannibalized it in 76-77. I made a tape of the old one on a cracker box 8mm movie camera in about '68 but only a few minutes long. I was standing right on top of Mike Kekich warming up in the pen!

I miss this stadium and shea stadium so much 🥺🥺😢😢

This video is a fucking classic!!!

I went to Yankee stadium for the 1st and last time near the end of September of 01. Went with my family being the Only Yankee fan among Oriole fans to see one of Cal Ripken's Jr last games at YS. Saw ground zero, just an eerie feeling being the city post 9/11.

Algún día estaré en ese salón de los inmortales primero dios viendo un juego .

They just won their 3rd championship, They were the best in the mlb, in that time.

Absolutely the best quality home video for its age I've ever seen. Great job. Was this video restored? What camera did you use?

I was at the Wells perfect game and a bunch of playoff games in 98-00. Good fucking times. Edit: Lmao this was game O’Neill slammed his bat on a home run. I still bring that up to this day. Classic Paul.

We were a few months away from the entire world getting flipped upside down…. CRAZY!!

The old Yankee stadium was always loud.

You playboys are in the upper tank. Yo, respect!

Wow. This deserves so many more views. Sitting at 13k rn

Great year for d backs fans our one and only championship earned!

I was born in 2004 and will always be mad my mom never took me to the old stadium or to see jeter play

I remember in 1961/62 seeing double headers in the Original Yankee Stadium, where that facade graced the third/top deck and when Mantle hit it in rigth field. And the monuments were in play.When you were not afraid of getting robbed and shot returning to the parling lot and finding the car just as you left it,in one piece. When after the game if you had cought a Yankee Home Run, you could get it signed by the Yank that hit it. I got one hit by Elston Howard, what a great person he was.Talked to Yogi with my uncle Bob in left field when he played ther after Howard became $1 catcher and Yanks wanted his bat. Yogi turned around and started talikng to us, as some body ffrom the Tigers cracked a shot down the left field line.Lucky for Yogi it was a ground rule double and no one was on base. I can still smell the place like I can still smell Palisades Park .Never leaves you.

I’m a Red Sox fan and I’m so happy I got to go to the old Yankee stadium once when I was 8 for Sox Yankees in 2004 absolute madness Police every where you look. It was amazing. New Yankee stadium is nice but feeling the history in old Yankee stadium was something different

From Chicago, but i love New York so much and never even set foot on New York soil lol

Love the song lemon In the video

Of course the Knicks were losing…even in 2001.

I remember there being a marquee or a sign over the Major Deegan parking lot when the old stadium was there. Is that still there?

In 2006 I went to the old Yankee Stadium

How cool I wish there was footage of Babe Ruth and his Yankees back in the 1920s

'Hey we wom the world series'' Can't believe they edited out 'Yeah...in six games!' 😂

The House that Ruth Built it would've been 100 this year 26 World Championships 39 American Leagues even as a Cub fan I revere that building every bit as much our friendly confinse

Do you have the full game broadcast on tape?

a rare blown save for the sand man.

I thought it was interesting how you said the Yankees had a four-peat going, and they almost did, however, the Yankees choked in Game 7 of the World Series that year.

😢 I was at the final game
