  • 13​Th​ ITRC Technical Tour Information Sheet
    th 13 ​ ITRC Technical Tour Information Sheet ​ Yankee Stadium Yankee Stadium (http://newyork.yankees.mlb.com/nyy/ballpark/) is located in the Bronx ​ ​ (NYC), and is home to the world famous New York Yankees of Major League Baseball (MLB). The NY Yankees are one of the most successful sports clubs/franchises in the world, having won 18 division titles, 40 American League pennants, and 27 World ​ ​ ​ Series championships. Many former players are household names in the United States ​ and around the world including Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Yogi Berra, and Derek Jeter. ​ The new $2.3 billion Yankee Stadium opened in 2009 approximately one block north of the old Yankee Stadium (the previous site now a public park called Heritage Field). The new stadium incorporates replicas of some of the design elements from the original Yankee Stadium, including the rooftop frieze that was a trademark of the previous stadium, and a “cutout” of the wall behind the bleacher seats that reveals the passing elevated subway trains. Another design element replicated in the new stadium was the placement of Monument Park – an open air museum containing a collection of monuments, plaques, and retired numbers honoring distinguished members of the New ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ York Yankees – behind the fence in straightaway center field. Field dimensions are Left ​ Field 318’, Left Center 399’, Center Field 408’, Right Center 385’, and Right Field 314’; all an exact replication of the dimensions in the old Yankee Stadium. Total seating capacity of the new stadium is 50,287. MLB teams play 81 games a year in their “home” stadiums.

    MLS as a Sports Product – the Prominence of the World’s Game in the U.S. Stephen A. Greyser Kenneth Cortsen Working Paper 21-111 MLS as a Sports Product – the Prominence of the World’s Game in the U.S. Stephen A.

Working papers are in draft form. This working paper is distributed for purposes of comment and discussion only. It may not be reproduced without permission of the copyright holder. Copies of working papers are available from the author. Funding for this research was provided in part by Harvard Business School. MLS as a Sports Product – the Prominence of the World’s Game in the U.S. April 8, 2021 Abstract The purpose of this Working Paper is to analyze how soccer at the professional level in the U.S., with Major League Soccer as a focal point, has developed over the span of a quarter of a century. It is worthwhile to examine the growth of MLS from its first game in 1996 to where the league currently stands as a business as it moves past its 25th anniversary. The 1994 World Cup (held in the U.S.) and the subsequent implementation of MLS as a U.S. professional league exerted a major positive influence on soccer participation and fandom in the U.S. Consequently, more importance was placed on soccer in the country’s culture. The research reported here explores the league’s evolution and development through the cohesion existing between its sporting and business development, as well as its performance.
