Yankee Stadium Closes After 85 Years

Messages left by fans adorn the right field foul pole in the upper deck while the Yankees played the Baltimore Orioles in their second-to-last game ever at the legendary Yankee stadium, September 20, 2008. The final game at Yankee Stadium is September 21 against the Orioles.
A boy leaves hand prints on the outfield wall at Yankee Stadium as fans were allowed to walk the track around the field before the final regular season MLB American League game ever to be played at the stadium between the Yankees and Baltimore Orioles, September 21, 2008.
The Yankees set an attendance record at the Stadium this season -- 4,298,543. It will never be surpassed, because the capacity at the new Yankee Stadium will be less.
