Yankees or Mets–it’s one of New York City’s biggest debates. But what can’t be debated is this–according to a new study, Yankee Stadium is the most Instagrammed sporting arena in the US.
Yankee Stadium has been home to the legendary New York Yankees since the 1920s. The original Yankee Stadium opened in 1923 and was the home to 26 World Series Championships before closing in 2008. The new 46,537-capacity Yankee Stadium was then opened in 2009.
According to Ballparks of Baseball, the Yankees financed a $1.6 billion project and the City of New York spent $220 million for infrastructure and other improvements on the stadium and the surrounding area.
It’s been called the most iconic and recognizable sports stadium in the world–and this study proves it!
