  • Great video. They should have made it a Yankee museum. Or a high school or college home.

  • It was time to get a new stadium

  • I think they should have left a part of the stadium there with one of the gates. I don't think it was time to get rid of it yet. I am 14 and I went to 25 games there in 5 years. And after that game was the one time I was not happy after a win. Now. There is nothing left to tell my grandkids about but once a time there was a ballpark named Yankee Stadium. :(

  • im almost 18 .. and prob go to 4-10 games a year since i was 9... this year it really hit me when they showed old jeter videos from the old place how much i miss it.. i legit made my dad walk down to where the little legue feilds are now to just say hey rember this was the gate... i really miss it

  • Love this video

  • Im a yankee fan and I thought it was discusting that they tore down such a place just for money. It was not necissary. Now shea on the other hand was a dump and shoulda been torn down 40 years ago.

  • How can you demolish such a place? It's practically a living artifact.

  • The problem with this is that sure people who played and watched games will remember the old Stadium, but how about the future generations? How are they going to remember America's most historic sports arena? Heritage Field? BAH! It's a crime against history to have completely tore down OYS. It was the US's Roman Colosseum and we tore it down to make Steinbrenner richer.

  • After it was renovated in '73 i liked the looks but it really didn't look like it use to. The new Yankee Stadium is a combo of the old and the new and i love it. but u cant put a price one the class of the old one.

  • I got a tour of the old Yankee Stadium before they tore it down. We got to go into all the locker rooms, and the announcers booth. I will never forget Yankee Stadium.

  • I asked my friend how he reacted when they tore down this stadium. (He's a Mets fan, but he used to be a Yankees fan.) He said that he was happy about it; and he said it in a bitter way. I beat him up, and said that we weren't friends anymore. And it felt great. YANKEE STADUM WILL ALWAYS BE RIGHT HERE. (Holds heart.)

  • I got a tour of the Old Yankee Stadium before they tore it down. :)

  • Y'know guys, it is REALLY idiotic that they tore down the old stadium, but someday, they're gonna tear down the new yankee stadium. And, believe me when I say that there are gonna be a LOT of memories in the new yankee stadium. So, let's just enjoy the new yankee stadium; before it gets torn down.

  • the new one is not near as good of the old one

  • @mryankee247 Not a chance.

  • The Cathedral, Steinbrenner, Bob Sheppard, and now Freddy Sez...

    they're all gone, and we're left with a state-of-the-art facility with no heart and soul.

    No matter what, the Yankees will never be the same, and I feel lucky to have witnessed the complete domination of the 1990s firsthand.

  • There really was no reason to tear down Yankee Stadium. After the ground-up rebuild in 1976, it was STILL one of the best ballparks - second, possibly, to only Dodger Stadium. After the rebuild there were no bad seats, no obstructed views and it looked beautiful, even after 33 years. So why did they do it? The Steinbrenners wanted more luxury boxes and expensive seats. That's the only reason.

  • Will It Happen #28 in 2010 In The Bronx I Hope So May The Dynasty Continue

  • It doesn't matter how many times I watch this, I cry like a baby each time.

  • I'm 16 and me and my dad used to go to the old stadium all the time, he grew up in the Bronx going to the first one with his father was well. Ive been to the new one 3 times, but its not the same, somethings missing, It seems fake.

  • the only regret i have is that i never saw the yanks win at the old stadium. i went to one game at the stadium, and they lost in 13 innings. heartbreaker. cant believe its gone.

  • I'm a diehard Red Sox fan...but it was even tough for me to see this place go. Amazing stadium.

  • Yogi is right..to the Yankee faithful the game inside us all..The Greatest team in the greatest city in the world..

  • Yogi gets its a shame The boss doesn't...

  • i may be a twins fan, but i have great respect for yogi berra.

  • i may be a twins fan, but i have great respect for yogi berra.

  • mayor blomm berg took down my 2nd fucking house!!!!

    5 awesome games ive been there

  • I LOVE YOU YOGI!!!!!!!

  • Gooo Yogi !! We love ya' Oh yeah, almost forgot... the Red Sox suck !!

  • this makes me want to cry...yogi berra to me is the greatest baseball player in the history of the mlb. and to gomorrah0's comment sooo truuuueeeee.yogi berra is the best.this year im gonna go 2 as many games as possible

  • Go Yankees!!!

  • so glad we won so the new stadium feels like home now. Since the construction of the new stadium I always said the only way it would ever feel like home is to christen it with a title.

  • This was the best year i had with the yankees i went to opening day, old timers day, 6 walk offs 10 other games, ALDS game 1 AlCS game 6 which they clinched to the world series and i went to game 1 of world series and game 6 which they won the world series

  • I miss the old Stadium. The new place has all the bells and whistles, but old Yankee Stadium was electric. It got really LOUD.....

  • Only went to one game in New YS this year and it was ALCS Game 6 eliminating the Angels. Wasn't opening day but Im proud I was there in the first season.

  • Old Yankee Stadium: The House that Ruth Buillt

    The New Yankee Stadium: The House that Jeter built.

  • 26 WS Titles in the old stadium.... 26 in the new one.... 1 down, 25 to go. Cano, Hughes, CC pushing for their 4th titles. and Jesus Montero and Austin Jackson beyond them pushing for theirs too. Nobody will ever understand what it takes to be a Yankee. People can talk about our payroll when they don't see our beautiful history. To all those including the Red sox, Fuck them and God bless the team of a America. The New York Yankees.

  • so sad - i only got to see yankee stadium twice. once in 2003 and once in 2006, i was 12 and 15 respectively, so i never really appreciated the history of it all. i took this place for granted and now its gone and we're left with a stadium that, no matter how gorgeous it is, will never be the same.

    congratulations yankees on winning the world series!

  • holy cow i got chills too

  • theres something magical about Yogi when he's wearing that cap. Let it be a photo, statue, or even a youtube video

  • Cry every time I watch it :'(

  • Thanks Yogi! Your voice and words have always been soothing to the fans.

  • Nobody says it better than Yogi!!!!!!

  • miss the old one but

    YANKEES IN 1st BABY TIME TO SET NEW RECORDS =]

  • It's a Beaut!

    Love you Yog...

    forever and ever.

    Mr.Low Note

  • I'm a Giants fan, but watching this clip gives me chills

  • everytime i see this it makes me wanna cry its soo true all the memories of this stadium will always be with us from lou gehrig in the 1920s to yogi berra in the 1950s to derek jeter in 2000s from every home run and every world series win 2 every al pennant and all the great players that stood befor all of this. the yankees have the greatest players and history and will forever be the best.

  • If I have to explain what I'm feeling to you; then you have missed out on one of life's great treasures. I have been a Yankee fan since 1951 and I've been lucky enough to play in this field of dreams. When it goes; so goes a piece of my life. Thanks Yogi

  • As a Blue Jays fan, I was lucky enough to visit the old Stadium last summer against the Red Sox. I fulfilled a life dream to see the same batters box where the Greats played.

  • Fantastic video!!! Go Yankees!!!

  • Thanks Yogi. And remember......A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore.......

  • I will miss the old stadium...

  • sad and very true

  • it aint over till its over...............

  • He's right. This stadium will never be missed. It will live in the hearts of everyone who was ever lucky enough to walk into it. It brought the greatest city in the world together and united its people in good times and in bad times. The place will not be missed because all of the games, the championships, the legends, and the memories will never die.

  • This place will never be missed. It lives in the heart of every New Yorker, whether your a Yankee fan or not. This simple building, the concrete, metal, dirt, and grass, united the greatest city on Earth in hard times and in good times. It brought the people together and inspired hope and gave the people something to cherish in their life. The people of New York were brought together in this stadium and the games, the rivalries, the legends, and the memories built in this stadium will never die.

  • im a mets fan and this movie makes me feel sad because i had memories here i loved it any baseball fan loves it there was something that made this park so special along with fenway

  • still get goosebumps everytime I watch this video. Yogi berra still is and always will be my favorite yankee of all time...LETS GO YANKEES, Boston sucks

  • ftw my friend GO YANKS!!

  • The old Yankee stadium sure had an impressive final year. One final season, one final all-star game, one final papal mass. You can't have a stadium's closing year like that for a long time.

  • yeah they didnt even make the playoffs, lol.

  • only time ive cried after a video... i loved the old place... god bess yogi

  • whats the name of the song

  • song?

  • I was at the last game at Yankee Stadium and even throughout the pre-game festivities I managed not to shed a tear even with all the greats on the field. This came on though during the 7th inning I believe and it was the first time I shed a tear. I've been to the new Yankee Stadium and it's just not the same, as crazy as it sounds it's something you can't put into words. But thanks, Old Yankee Stadium for all the great memories.

  • Such a powerful video..maaan. I am going to miss that stadium.. I got tickets to the new one against the redsox coming up. Wonder what its going to be like without all the history being there.

  • I remember yankee stadium a lot because i went to 4 games at the old stadium.

  • Man... to have this forever is all the reason to be able to download YouTube vids... man. This vid is timeless. I sure miss the Cathedral

  • Hoping that you guys win for this one. Fantastic work.

  • I LOVE YOGI!!!! great player great anecdote this is my favorite vid on youtube

  • Great job Bo snd Deej

    I will miss the Yankee Stadium

  • This tribute by Yogi really hit home. It's been many, many years since I've lived in N.Y but the YANKEES and the 'Stadium" were always a big part of that time. I guess like Yogi, for me, Yankee Stadium will always be "right here."

  • this almost made me cry to, i cant wait until april 16

  • get a tear everytime i watch it

  • Eleven more days till opening day.

  • Awesome. Simply awesome.

  • i'll never tire from watching this video.

    yogi if you ever read this, i'm know marty green very well.

  • this video says it all it was like a second home to me. Whenever i got a chance to go which was like 500 times, every time felt like it was my first. No stadium can make u feel the way yankee stadium did. Its not possible. People get chills and seriously some people tear up walkin through the gates. believe me ive witnessed it. I breathe and sleep yankees, goin to bed at night countin down the days till the opener but nothing will ever be the same. Yankee stadium is one of a kind. LEAVE IT UP

  • What was most striking about that last night was the moments after Jeters speech on the mound when everyone there sort of realized at once that THAT was it. Still have mixed feelings about the move.

  • I think the national baseball hall of fame needs to be moved to the old yankee stadium. i mean shit its the most historical sports venue in the world. it needs to be a museum not torn down!!!whats in cooperstown?? nothing its a stupid place to have the baseball hall of fame. The old yankee stadium is a perfect fit,more historical people and events have happened there than anywhere else. it practically is a hall of fame in its self. plain and simple:IT NEEDS TO BE CONVERTED INTO THE HALL OF FAME!

  • love yankees next time i go im going to get a hair cut from that guy

  • i get tears from watching this but i cant wait for opening day apriil 16 i will be their

  • i was there! 9th row behind Yankee dugout. best day ever

  • My wife & I are huge Yankee fans from NC, been to Yankee Stadium several times & other stadiums where the Yanks have played. We love Yogi (Mickey & Jeter) the best of all time. We just paid $800 for a puppy and named him Yogi !

  • Well done, Yogi! Beautiful!

  • I too was watching this game, still holding out the fact that possibly the Red Sox could blow their almost insurmountable lead in the wild card, that at one point the Yankees has dwindled down to 1 Game Behind. Jeter's speech didnt do it for me because they won the game so the hope was still alive for another day, we needed something alittle bit more somber. Once this commercial came on right after the game, I realized that this was the closing of a ballpark I knew like the back of my hand.

  • i watched this whole game...didnt really feel emotional...until this...ill never forget...was the first thing to come on after the game...and i finally realized...that was it

  • i am a brewer fan but i have some of my fav players. most brewer fans would say yount. for me it is yogi.

  • one of the greatest video high light packages i have ever seen

  • i wanna be just like yogi

  • I love this video it brought some tears at the end. i love the part when yogi says there was the Babe Joltin Joe and the Mick. and most i loved is the Home Runs they were so much fun watching those home runs launch over the fences. cant wait to see who launches the first big blast at new yankees stadium GOO Yankees. C.C. A.J M.T

  • from the pope to the piano man.... Billy Joel and the Yankees.... New Yorkers love both those

  • theres no bigger yankee fan than me !!! representing ny suburbs! (no im not a gangsta)

  • this ggave me the chills

  • this is great

  • There's no Bigger Phillies fan than me!!..But I love Yogi & all those old time Yankees...been to Yankee Stadium several times & gonna miss the old place........

  • No bigger Phillies fan than me!!!...but I love Yogi Berra!,,and been to Yankee Stadium several times...gonna miss it!!!!

  • best commercail ever made its so sad i will miss yogi when hes gone and get a hair cut from that guy

  • I am not a Yankees fan... but this video is beautiful and haunting. It embodies the great tradition of baseball - and a damn good baseball player. Love them or hate them, the Yankees represent the very best.

  • iget the chills watching this...my fav commercial... love yogi

    sad to see it go....everytime i went there was something in the air..a feeling that would come over me....felt like i was home lol....R.I.P yankee stadium....may the new stadium continue to win championships

  • I think the national baseball hall of fame needs to be moved to the old yankee stadium. i mean shit its the most historical sports venue in the world. it needs to be a museum not torn down!!!whats in cooperstown?? nothing its a stupid place to have the baseball hall of fame.

  • that is such a good idea

  • This beautiful video captures the essence of the most hallowed cathedral in sports. A spot of purity and goodness in a whorl of madness. A place where men get to become boys once again, and feel the fabric of their boyhood dreams.

    This place, so storied, so loved, is the real Field of Dreams.

    Let's make the New Yankee Stadium, built on the shoulders of the old, stand even taller.

    God bless you, Yogi.

  • im a phillies fan at heart but if the yankees won it this yr it b nice winning one more in yankee stadium

  • Im an A's fan but I think you guys are the best fans out there

  • I want to thank the good lord for making me a Yankee fan.

  • The best sports park ever created. It is horrible that it will be closed down, but we will be able to experience the beginning of a new era.

  • also on cdbaby

  • goodbye yankee stadium lets make some new memories in the new one so much history was there but we can always remeber everything that ever happened there like championships and perfect games

  • i going to miss yankee stadium

  • I never have really been a Yankees fan, but i still think this is a very good video.

  • I went to the final game of the yankees

    I was crying when they closed the stadium

    But I wasn't the only one everyone crying too

    !!!!!!yankees rock!!!!!! you too yogi berra!!!!

    !!!! boston u suck!!!!!!

  • Lets Go Yankees!!! Am Gonna Miss That Stadium

  • downloadable version. where can i find one.

  • this is such a sad commercial. to think that after all thats happened there, all the history, just gone...

  • this commercial truly made me feel special about being a yankee fan. i will never forget the memories i made there. god bless the yankees.

  • Even though Yankee Stadium is done I will always remember all the memories i had there. It does hurt a little to know I will never be able to attend another game in the best sporting facility of all time. Hopefully the Yankees can give the new stadium a world series win in its first year.

    GO YANKEES!!!!

    boston sucks hope the angels kick ur ass

  • This commercial made me feel honored to be a true Yankees fan! Thank you for the memories!

  • what an amazing commerical.... classy

  • ha ha the mets blew it again. go yankees!!!

    ill miss yankee stadium

  • stienbrener is a complete asshole my dad doesn't like him and neither do i tearing down yankee is like taking away the heart of new york this reminds of when ebbets fiels was torn down

  • any one know the music?

  • its on itunes look up 'Zelkin'

  • I'll miss Yankee Stadium. The memories will last forever and I'll remember them.

  • I WAS THERE! AND I GOTTA TELL YOU THE MEMORIAL WAS BETTER THAN ANY THING IVE SEEN1 EVEN DISNEYS PARADES! I just love it when he says, "it will be gone, but it wont be gone in here. thats so sad! I will remember that day I was there. LONG LIVE YANKEES!

  • I almost cried when this aired on ESPN... I've been a Yankee fan all my life and I cannot believe that they are just going to tear the place down so Stienbrener can get his luxury boxes... All that history, all of those memories... I can't believe it's gone.

    But, the Yanks won the Series when The Stadium opened, so maybe it'll happen in 2009?

    Go Yankees

    Hope you lose in the playoffs, Boston

  • can't put it better than you did there

  • well done

  • i cant stand the yankees but this is a great clip. no matter who u are a fan of u gotta love yogi. its going to be tough to see that place go. its a living, breathing museum and a part of history.

  • Long live the Yankees

  • save the stadium

  • I've watched this video a hundred times... gives me chills everytime.. nicly done!

  • i agree, everytime i watch it...chills up n down the spine...GO YOGI.....GO YANKEES!!!!!!

  • this makes me sad..........

  • A very fitting tribute to Yankee Stadium, Yogi, your one of the best.

  • im gunna miss it i never went there

  • i kno i hate that! if only ive been there even for like a minute id be the happiest fan!

  • Gives me chills.

  • my first ball game was here a park of my child hood is going away but like yogi says it will be in my heart

  • this is very sad to see the house that ruth built go. Ive been there like 4 times and theres so much history.

  • baseball my life

  • were can  u download this at?

  • this video says it all.... yogi, you are the best..... ever.

  • does anyone know how to get such a good quality video like this on youtube. like how did you record it?

  • Im by no means a Yankees fan, but if the loss of this stadium and the commercial of Yogi Berra dont get to you, then you need to question your ideas of what a sports fan really is.

  • amen to that

  • unreal.... i love from the pope to the piano man.... billy joel and yankees stadium go hand in hand

  • Yogi Berra will continue to bring new entrants / fans into the game of baseball

  • This video is very powerful because it gets to the heart of baseball through the experiences of the great Yogi Berra!

    I really enjoyed this video!

  • Beautiful,

    this piece brings back so many memories when i used to live in new york.

  • The saddest part of the video is when that yankee neon light goes out signifying its over.

  • dude didnt you hear yogi "IT AINT OVER WHEN IS OVER"

  • I was at the game Sunday night, sitting near the right field foul pole.The saddest moment was right after the guys finished their lap around the perimeter when everyone in the place realized that THAT WAS IT. Was great to see Bernie and Tino and Brosius back though. Get em next year.

  • I'm a Sox fan and I can honestly say I cried my eyes out the other day before during and after the game. I'm a huge Red Sox fan. In fact the biggest one I've ever met, but I'm more of a fan of baseball than I am of the Red Sox. You will never hear one bit of ignorance out of me or anyone else who is a true baseball fan. The last game played at yankee Stadium was one of the saddest days in my life. Baseball will never be the same without Yankee Stadium.

  • that has to be one the nicest things I have ever heard a Red Sox fan say. The stadium is not just for Yankee fans, it belonged to all fans of baseball. With the stadium closing, it's an end of a long era. Hopefully, all the ghosts from the stadium will join us at the new one.

  • What a wonderful reflection. I too am first a baseball fan-then a Yankee fan-then a Red Sox fan. I had a lump in my throat and wetness in my eyes last Sunday night. Thanks Buddy!!

  • cant believe it. its been here for so long... so many of my memories are there and now thats it. wont forget one one thing about  this place

  • does anybody know the song being played in the background..what a moving video??

  • It's an original soundtrack created specifically for this video.

  • so ESPN made this song haha?? theres gotta be an actual song title to it man!

  • Yes, it was written specifically for this video. The composer is Boris Zelkin. Should be on iTunes (or the like) soon.

  • Yogi Bears is a pimp he's a true yankee and the best catcher of all time it's a shame there gonna tear down the best stadium of all time joe torre would have never let it happen R.I.P. Yankee stadium well miss you

  • Yogi Bears?

    LOL.

  • This beautiful video captures the essence of the most hallowed cathedral in sports. A spot of purity and goodness in a whorl of madness. A place where men get to become boys once again, and feel the fabric of their boyhood dreams.

    This place, so storied, so loved, is the real Field of Dreams.

    Let's make the New Yankee Stadium, built on the shoulders of the old, stand even taller.

    God bless you, Yogi.

  • God bless Yogi but how much longer can "here" (refering to his heart) possibly be around?

  • What a shame to tare down this stadium and all of it's histoty with it. That wrecking ball is going to tare into the stadium, and into the legacy of Micky, Joe D. and the Babe. Goodbye forever. and for What? Because the Steinbrenners did'nt want the Wilpons to have one. GREED!

  • Greatest vidoe i have ever seen

  • Glad to see Bernie Williams finally got what he deserved in the pre-game ceremony... one of the greatest Yankees ever... played the game the right way and went about his business the right way... congrats Bernie.. you deserve it

  • i thank god for making me a Yankee fan ! . . Nothing like Yankee Stadium in October ! . .I get the chills just thinking about it .

    The Yankees are the best !

  • Totally amazing!!

  • This absolutely ROCKS! I do have I question though, well, it basically a 2 part question. Why no mention Of Joe T. and why mention Chuck Knoblauch and not mention Rodger Clemens? I myself wouldnt touch Rodger with a 10 foot pole right about now, but there was imagery of Knoblauch when he was with the Yankees which is one reason I ask the question. Regardless, the ultimate stadium has just closed and I never got to see it! That truly sucks!

  • hey zzxxchris...y dun do do us all a favor n jump in front of a bus no1 needs to hear ur crap...if u think no1 cares bout da stadium then ur even more dum then ur comment makes u look...yankee stadium is always gna b the greatest stadium in the history of sports..all the championships won there n the legendary players that hav played on that field... its really sad 2 c it go but well make new memories in the new 1... goodbye yankee stadium... thanks 4 the memories

  • What a bunch of crap. They are tearing down part of history. Why? More money thats why! How much of the new stadium is going to be box seats for corporations? Once again the teams sock it to the fans. Makes me glad I dont follow baseball. They can get sentamental all they want its all for the greenbacks. The ture fans take it on the chin. Next thing you know they will be paving over the Gettysburg battlefield for condos.

  • they are tearing down a legend

    we will miss you Yankee Stadium

    We Will Always Love You

  • i saw this on tv i cried...

    that feild is a baseball heaven....

    but i guess yogi is right. you gotta rember them

  • everytime i saw this on tv, i got goosebumps.

  • awesome vid,the yanks are the best

  • So cried like many fans did cz Yankee Stadium is no more, annnnnd, because im 18 yrs & from Arizona and im never gonna be able to see Yankee Stadium so yeah thats what makes it even more sadder for me,.. and i cry every time i see this video,..
