Attending a Yankees Game at George M. Steinbrenner Field

After 33 years in Fort Lauderdale, the Yankees moved to Tampa, where the address is 1 Steinbrenner Drive. The name of the stadium was changed to George M. Steinbrenner Field in 2008.

George Steinbrenner, the boss, makes it all work in a spring-training ballpark with a seating capacity of 11,076, and a feel grander than it really is. Steinbrenner Field stirs up more nostalgia than it really should, too, for a stadium that’s only been here since 1996. With the largest seating capacity among Grapefruit League stadiums, the Yankees have been the leaders in total attendance each year since their move to Tampa. Yankees tickets are the hardest to come by in the Grapefruit League even in the league's largest venue.

Steinbrenner Field is home to Yankee legends for whom the field is named. Take a trip down memory lane as the greatest Yankees are honored with a retired number and plaque of 15 players honoring Yankees numbers that have been retired by the team. Men like Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle and all the rest. Steinbrenner Field also features the largest Yankee memorabilia store in the Southeast. In the Legends Room you can choose from 100's of different Yankee products. The Legends Room's vast inventory includes souvenirs from the New York Yankees, Tampa Yankees, and Steinbrenner Field merchandise.

The design and sight lines are a plus at Steinbrenner Field. Every seat is a great seat to watch a game -- very intimate, yet spacious and open too, with seats angled toward the field. The concessions provide plenty of variety, with plenty of great eats New York-style, of course; you can also sample all different kinds of beers. Unlike the Bronx Zoo, it's zestfully clean and they'll play Sinatra's "New York, New York," win or lose, kid.
