YANKEE STADIUM

NEW YORK, NEW YORK

New York Yankees commissioned Sports & The Arts to develop their historic photographic collection, The Glory of the Yankees. This living museum brings walls of Yankee Stadium to life and includes over 1,300 individual framed photographs telling the story of the world's greatest franchise. Sports & The Arts culled thousands of photographs and worked with the New York Daily News, National Baseball Hall of Fame, MLB, the Library of Congress and other sources, creating the largest collection of Yankee photos ever to be displayed.

To create a distinct destination within the Legends Club, Sports & The Arts installed a wall graphic of another Yankee legend — the original Yankee Stadium on opening day, 1923. Theming locations is a hallmark of the Sports & The Arts process, bringing together history and artistic executions.

The party suite corridor is themed with Yankee greats from all ten decades of their history.

A gorgeous sepia-toned installation is located near the main entrance to the Yankees suite corridor. During our research, it was discovered that the Yankees were the first team to consistently wear numbers on the back of their uniform which represented their order in the lineup—Babe Ruth, the home run hitter was 3 and clean-up man Lou Gehrig was 4. Working with many sources we were able to find suitable photographs for the each of the ten players who first wore numbers for the Yankees. Sports & The Arts worked with the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown and the New York Daily News, the United States Library of Congress and other sources, scanning through nearly 100,000 slides, negatives and printed photos to create the photos used in the Yankees Collection
