  Yankee Stadium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yankee Stadium is often referred to as "The House that Ruth Built", but it is usually referred to as "The Stadium".
It was the first baseball park to be labeled a "Stadium" rather than a "Field," a "Park," or a "Grounds," and it conformed to the usage of the term in ancient Greece, where a stadium was a foot-race arena.
However, a look at aerial photographs of the area shows that the stadium is built on a triangular plot of land originally owned by one of the Yankee owners, and that the stadium, like many other parks of that era and many newer "retro" parks, was fit into that plot.
