Which way is North? This can aide in determining where the setting sun, or noonday sun, is going to affect spectators. Seven1672 ( talk) 17:05, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
Two editors appear to be in an Edit war over the insertion of the phrase... It is known as "The House That Jeter Built" after Yankee captain and short stop Derek Jeter who's success over the years undoubtedly helped to rake in a portion of the funds used for the building. This is disruption and should stop. Acps110 ( talk • contribs) 18:11, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
I understand why there is an Edit war over this phrase "The House that Jeter Built" as this is not yet, as far as what I can see, anywhere in common use among the fans of the Yankees and others warranting its insertion in Wikipedia. It is one thing to acknowledge in Wikipedia that which is in popular usage. However I invite you to "Google" the phrase. You will find that there is No wide movement for this designation, and as such someone putting it in an article is, in essence, campaigning for something that does not yet exist. I am a Los Angeles Dodger fan, and although it may be a complete truth that the stadium in Chavez Ravine in Los Angeles is indeed "The House that O'Malley Built", it would be inappropriate to put it in Wikipedia as the fans do not know the place as such. There is a seeming rush to mimic the phrase to replace "The House that Ruth Built" in the loss of the original Yankee Stadium. There cannot ever be a replacement for that legendary historic place, and any attempt to replace the designation of Yankee Stadium (1923) with an immediate replacement of the phrase for the New Yankee Stadium is somewhat insulting to a legendary figure like Babe Ruth, the legend who was there at the beginnings of the enterprise that we now know as Major League Baseball. Babe Ruth, because of being where he was in time, helped to build up the sport to a unique central part of American culture. Derek Jeter, while a great player deserving laud and honor, is not in the same place in space and time. As far as the New Yankee Stadium, the editors should allow some time for this structure to be known for what it will be known. It is new and needs some time to cure. thurifer ( talk • contribs) 09:45, 03 June 2010 (UTC)

Another addition to the infobox as a nickname would be "The Other House That Ruth Built"; a name I have heard used before.

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Spigot Map 20:08, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
There should probably be some re-wording to this line: "Several reasons were given for the sudden dropoff in home runs, including a lower April 2010 temperature (56 degrees in comparison with 63 the previous year), slower winds, poor pitching, a change in direction in winds," It makes it sound like poor pitching this year is the reason for the drop off in home runs, when in fact, the pitching has been better throughout MLB.

Why was the "nicknames" section deleted? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yankeeguy536 ( talk • contribs) 00:50, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
I deleted "Bronx Beltway" from the info box. It was sourced to the Daily News, but it was actually promoted by the Daily News, and a google search shows that it completely failed to gain any traction (3 hits from the NYDN, 2 from critics of the choice, and WP, and nothing else).

I am confused. The current version of Yankee Stadium [1] says that
but the current version of New Meadowlands Stadium [2] says that
Am I the only one who finds these to be contradictory? I have no idea what is correct, but I hope someone will clarify and, if necessary, get the facts straight in the articles. HuskyHuskie ( talk) 05:40, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
This article, like many, has a section that says "See also". In this article this section lists other major stadia in the NYC area. Why? What is the purpose of this? There's nothing like this at Wrigley Field, Fenway Park, or Soldier Field. I was going to delete the whole section as I do not see the purpose, but I decided that I wouldn't flip off a New Yorker walking down the street, so I probably shouldn't do it here, either. Still, I'd like an explanation. HuskyHuskie ( talk) 02:01, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
Does anyone know why outside of the third base and first base infield has the infield dirt jet out in a triangle shape? And if so, would it be notable enough for the article? I've never noticed an infield like that before and I couldn't find it anywhere. Is it meant to give a baserunner some dirt traction when rounding the base or what?

Some of the unit conversions in the "Amenities and facilities" section are converting square feet to square meters using the feet-to-meters conversion factor. This factor needs to be squared. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.175.225.22 ( talk) 23:01, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
Announcers and fans both refer to the new Yankee Stadium as the "cathedral of baseball", why isn't it included with the nicknames for the stadium? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.231.41.185 ( talk) 03:39, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Hello, Is there a source that says that the Yankees own Yankee Stadium because I'm pretty sure that the City of New York owns it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.18.219.42 ( talk) 02:30, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
I'm removing the reference to "New Yankee Stadium" as a nickname, as that's not what the linked source [1] says. "New" is only capitalized in the headline, not in any of the references within the story, indicating that it's a mere adjective and not a part of the actual name. I'm also adding "the Stadium", as there are multiple sources indicating that the capitalized version is in fact used as a nickname for the new building, as it was for the old.
