The first disc is two hours of history about the Stadium, with commentary by everyone from George Bush to Aaron Boone (LOVE Aaron Boone!). Oddly missing from the commentary: George Steinbrenner. It's so well-made, and with the Gladiator-esque music pumping through the background, it makes you appreciate the building and the history and the team even more. I was more disappointed in the second disc, of "bonus features," which had things like Lou Gehrig's speech and Aaron Boone's home run. But they only showed about three lines of the speech - and I know there exists more newsreel footage than that of the ceremony, and they didn't use Michael Kay's commentary on Aaron Boone, and I know they had the rights to use it, because they showed earlier clips on the first disc using it. But apart from those glaring omissions, I loved every minute of the discs.

This is a excellent video about the big old ballpark in the bronx. It captures all the great moments in the stadium's history and more. A must have for true Yankee fans. It goes along perfectly with "Yankee Stadium The Official Retrospective" hardcover book. I highly recommend this 2-disc set.

The only problem was there wasn't nearly enough time on the disc to really get into all of the little things that this stadium has seen. It was done well and is certainly worth buying, but anyone who's either ever been to the stadium or knows about it's (& Yankee) history will feel kind of slighted. It's kind of like going to your favorite band's concert and only hearing the hits that you've heard 1,000 times before when you wanted to hear the "deep cuts".

It was no mystery Old Yankee stadium was the picture perfect ballpark the greatest sports landmark ever created by man.I have been a die hard Yankee fan all my 21 years of living and i have seen it all here Jeter's 2001 WS gm 4 walk off homer,Aaron Boones 2003 AlCS game 7 walk off homer (prolly my most favorite Yankee stadium moment),Roger Clemens wins his 300th career game against the Cardinals,A-rods 500th career homer etc.I have seen all these great moments and for years i always wanted to go to Yankee stadium and see a game and in 2008 my wish came true.It was a graduation gift from my mother i got to see two games there against the Orioles in the final season of the stadium.When i first walked into the stadium i was left in all amazed i could literally feel the history here i never seen such a beautiful field in my life.We were seated out in the bleacher creature section where i got to mingle with some truly devoted fans like myself and it was awesome i love the roadcalls they do and root very loudly!I got to see one of my pitching heroes Mike Mussina (a.k.a Moose)pitch again before he retired at the end of the season and saw A-rod belt a huge homer and the great Mariano Rivera make a relief appearance (no save situation) it was awesome i did not want to leave at all! i recently bought this dvd and i love it i got to see some great history that was made there before i was born and relive some more recent history.I must have watched this 5 times already but i cannot help but shed a tear when i watch it.I will greatly miss this awesome ballpark i think it is just down right wrong they want to get rid of it but the new stadium is alright not as good as the old one i think but least we won a championship in the new house though!bottom line if you love the Yankees and the stadium as much as i do you will love this dvd and the collectible ticket goes great with it!!!!

a must for any yankee fan.... simply put, one of the best dvd's for the best team in sports history!
go yankees!!!

My boyfriend loved this DVD! Very Happy that he can see some of the replays that happened at the stadium.

I purchased this product for my 19 year old son who is a huge Yankee fan. He's watched it several times since receiving it for Christmas and loves it. This last summer he was able to go to New York City with his dad and see a game in the old stadium before it was closed...lasting memories that are relived when he watches this video.

I loved the 1st Disc, plenty of great footage and they have some great rare photos and video footage. 2nd Disc is typical of most 2-DVD set, mostly the unedited highlights.

This is an awesome DVD and a MUST HAVE for all yankee fans out there!

Bought this for my husband who is a huge yankees fan, for his birthday, and he loved it. It was set up with all his other yankees memorabilia.
