You've seen them all: The Empire State Building. Central Park. The Statue of Liberty. Ellis Island. Now head north of the city to Yankee Stadium that bastion of American culture to the "House that Ruth Built," even if it is brand new. Nevertheless, Yankee Stadium has been the stage for some of the game's greatest performers and singular events: Lou Gehrig's famous retirement speech and the on-field exploits starring the Babe, Joe DiMaggio and M & M Boys. Guided tours include New York Yankees Museum, Monument Park, Press Box and the Warning Track/Legends Outdoor Seating. Gold Yankee Stadium Pregame while the more exclusive Platinum Pregame Tour visits the Suite Level with a maximum of 10 participants. Off-season tours also throw in the Press Box and the MasterCard Batter's Eye Café.
