Lonely Planet review

The Yankees call their legendary ballpark (built in 1923) the 'most famous stadium since the Roman Coliseum', and with 26 championships to their name, who's arguing? The Yankees play April to October. Get to games early and stroll around Monument Park, where plaques commemorate such baseball greats as Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle and Joe DiMaggio.

The stadium's days are numbered though. The Yanks are building a new 51,000-seat version just north on Macombs Dam Park - it should be ready by 2009.
