Okay, so yesterday I was chilling, watching a game, and someone asked me, “Hey, how many seats are in Yankee Stadium?” I was like, “Uh, no clue!” But, being the curious cat I am, I decided to find out. Here’s how I went about it:
First things first, I hit up Google. Straight up searched “Yankee Stadium capacity.” Pretty basic, right?
I saw a bunch of numbers popping up. Some were slightly different, probably depending on the event. But, most sources were hovering around the same figure. That’s when I decided to do more research about it.
Digging a Little Deeper
I started browsing a few different sports websites. ESPN, *, the usual suspects. I was looking for some consistency, you know? I wanted to see if they all agreed on the seat count. Most were reporting something in the range of 47,000 to 48,000 seats.
I thought about concerts. Do they change the seating? Add temporary seats on the field? I checked some concert listings, to see what capacity was being reported for those events.
Finding the Official Number
I tried to find something “official”. I visited the yankees website and searched their FAQ.
Conclusion
Okay, so here’s the deal, it looks like Yankee Stadium officially seats around 47,000 – 48,000 people.
So, yeah, that’s how I found out how many seats are in Yankee Stadium. Now I can impress people with my random trivia knowledge!
