	Yankee Stadium - New York Yankees
		Yankee Stadium was the first structure to be called a stadium, and it remains the world’s most famous eight decades after it opened.
		Yankee Stadium has been known as “The House that Ruth Built” since it opened because the Babe’s titanic home runs were drawing such large crowds at the team’s prior home, the Polo Grounds, that New York management needed to build a triple-decked stadium in order to meet demand.
		The capacity of Yankee Stadium has changed 15 times since it opened, and today it has the largest capacity among all 30 Major League ballparks, although the 57,545 seats are a far cry from the 82,000 that existed when the legendary 1927 team rolled to the second title in franchise history.
