The New York Yankees played their home games at Shea Stadium in 1974.
The Yankees moved out of the original Yankee Stadium after the 1973 season to allow for a two-year renovation project to be completed.
(The current Yankee Stadium is a new build that opened in 2009 and has a seating capacity of 54,251 as of 2022.)
The move came less than a year after shipbuilder George Steinbrenner bought the Yankees for $10 million. The updated Stadium opened for the 1976 season and set the stage for a Bronx Bomber rejuvenation that yielded four World Series appearances between 1976 and 1981, including back-to-back championships in 1977 and 1978.
As Shea Stadium was the home of the New York Mets, the two New York teams shared a home field (Shea) in 1974 and 1975.
