Old Yankee Stadium was heaven!!! and a great sacred ballpark that will live on forever far as i am concerned.
It was no mystery Old Yankee stadium was the picture perfect ballpark the greatest sports landmark ever created by man.I have been a die hard Yankee fan all my 21 years of living and i have seen it all here Jeter's 2001 WS gm 4 walk off homer,Aaron Boones 2003 AlCS game 7 walk off homer (prolly my most favorite Yankee stadium moment),Roger Clemens wins his 300th career game against the Cardinals,A-rods 500th career homer etc.I have seen all these great moments and for years i always wanted to go to Yankee stadium and see a game and in 2008 my wish came true.It was a graduation gift from my mother i got to see two games there against the Orioles in the final season of the stadium.When i first walked into the stadium i was left in all amazed i could literally feel the history here i never seen such a beautiful field in my life.We were seated out in the bleacher creature section where i got to mingle with some truly devoted fans like myself and it was awesome i love the roadcalls they do and root very loudly!I got to see one of my pitching heroes Mike Mussina (a.k.a Moose)pitch again before he retired at the end of the season and saw A-rod belt a huge homer and the great Mariano Rivera make a relief appearance (no save situation) it was awesome i did not want to leave at all! i recently bought this dvd and i love it i got to see some great history that was made there before i was born and relive some more recent history.I must have watched this 5 times already but i cannot help but shed a tear when i watch it.I will greatly miss this awesome ballpark i think it is just down right wrong they want to get rid of it but the new stadium is alright not as good as the old one i think but least we won a championship in the new house though!bottom line if you love the Yankees and the stadium as much as i do you will love this dvd and the collectible ticket goes great with it!!!!

Nothing Like Yanke Stadium
This is good, not great, DVD. It is interesting but jumpy in spots. For instance, when showing Larsen's perfect game they show footage and radio call, but then cut to pictures of the empty stadium (while the radio cal in on-going), before going back to the final footage of the scene. This happens with multiple events. Still, I am glad I have the DVD. Yankee Stadium was wonderful to all fans who had a chance to see a game there. The new one is for profit. It was sacrilegious to tear the original stadium down.

Add to the glut, I guess
This isn't bad. Really, it's not. It's just that......well, how many times can we watch the same plays over and over?The packaging is kinda nice. The coin is cool. The ticket is a nice item. The DVD.....well, same ol' stuff.Still, it's about Yankee Stadium. Can't go wrong there. I consider myself fortunate to have been to the original place many times as a kid, the re-worked place after the renovation many times, and a few times to the new joint. So, this disc is a nice reminder of a wonderful place and (perhaps) a wonderful time. It's pretty inexpensive, so go for it.And put that Boston team out of your mind for a while. We'll all be better off.

Buenísimo
Este tributo al mejor estadio de baseball es un buen video. Todo el contenido tiene un valor histórico muy rico, por tradición, por la mística.Lo que se puede apreciar es que hay parte del contenido de los diálogos del dvd conmemorativo de los 100 años del equipo pero bueno, para enriquecer las imágenes está bien.En general, este video no aburre, al contrario, nos ayuda a mantener vivos los recuerdos de esos años tan gloriosos, de campeonatos, de series mundiales, de juegos perfectos, de jugadas espectaculares, en fin, de tantas cosas hermosas que nos da el Yankee Baseball.Lo que me decepcionó un poco fue el encontar que este dvd no tiene sonido 5.1 ni remasterización THX, tal y como lo indica la tabla de características del producto.Saludos a la afición Yankee!! cómprenlo, no se arrepentirán...

A gift that was a Hit!!
I have not seen this DVD, BUT my nephews who are true Yankee fans 9 &11 and their dad said it was great. The coin and ticket and added bonus.Anything Yankee is a winner in this family, so they were thrilled. I cannot speak to the content as I did not see this DVD. BUT I was at the Yogi Beara Museum in NJ and this was the same DVD shown there. It was great and extremely informative to a non Yankee fan. The history of the stadium, the tributes, and the Yankee history was interesting. It is a long DVD, but lots of info!Go Mets!!

Seemed like a good purchase as a gift to him
My son wanted to see The House that Ruth Built on a vacation trip right before the move to the new Yankee home park. However, his flights got mixed up somehow, and he didn't get that firsthand, personal visit that he'd planned. I gave him this video set as a next-best idea. He appreciated the thought and still plans to see some of the old, original ballparks remaining. He did get to see Wrigley field on that earlier trip and still wants to go to Boston soon. Seemed like a good purchase as a gift to him.

Walking down memory lane
I'm a true Yankee fan and when I received the DVD I was kinda disappointed that the coin and the ticket did not come with the DVD but I don't care about that. It's the memories I want to see what actually happened in the old stadium.

I loved this stadium
I loved this stadium, its history, architecture, and its overall layout! I still can't believe that they tore it down. The documentary is well narrated, and has some interesting photos of the Stadium throughout its lifetime. This was a must have for me!
