Yankee Stadium Seats

We have a lot of Yankee Stadium seats! On this page you will see examples. You will notice the prices are much lower than what you expect. This is because we have a large quantity, prices will go back up once we get inventory down to lower levels. Ironically, the quality of this batch of seats is much higher than the Yankee seats sold prior, both in the finish on the cast iron and the condition of the plastic. Plus we stencil the row letters back on the row-end legs, which was not done prior either.

In 2010 most of the seats from Yankee Stadium had their original paint stripped off of the legs, except the newer cushion seats located below the cross aisle and running from approx. dugout to dugout. We also do have a small number of the old plastic seats that were not stripped, believe it or not, about 50 of them remaining. Mostly we have approx. 1,000 that were stripped and we are powdercoating them as needed to the proper color and completing them with seats/backs with MLB stickers on them.

Seats from the Upper Deck

The seats from the upper deck were particularly unique in the world of stadium seats because they actually had the word “Yankee” cast into the legs. This has never been done at any venue before or after. Figural logos have been put on row-end seat legs but never has a name been cast into each leg in every row.

These seats also come with a larger, heavier floor stand bracket to make them stand up in someone’s house and be usable, included with wood feet underneath as well.

Variations in Seats

Another interesting thing we noticed at Yankee Stadium in 2009 when we did our initial inspection prior to the job was the unprecedented variations in the seats, numbering sequences and condition of the seats.
For example, in photos below, just take a look at how odd the numbering sequences could be if somebody got a pair of seats at home. You could have two number 5’s connected. You could have seat backs with slats or seat backs that are solid, and each has it’s own style of number tag.

Shows faded seats and unique numbering

Take a look at how they numbered the seats at Yankee Stadium, some running left to right , some right to left. Notice faded seats mixed in.

Various number plates used on Yankee Stadium Seats

Cast an eye at this photo: they riveted the “wrong” style number 8 tag on this seat, actually quite typical in Yankee Stadium.

Two types of seat backs used in Yankee Stadium

Notice most in this photo have open slats in the back whereas others are solid in the back.

Lower level

Notice only 8 seats in a row in this section and also notice how the numbers run in different directions.

Here I am posing for my son, scowling at the camera while doing the initial survey! We had to check every section for surprises.

Commemorative Seats

Commemorative seats that you will see for sale

In the end, the seats were removed and taken to Syracuse and Buffalo for the disassembly and repainting. When they were re-assembled up in Buffalo, they were put back together using only the plastic that was not cracked or crumbling and that generally looked as best as possible.

And then new legs were cast with special logos to allow the sale of more seats since there was more plastic left over than there were original legs. These are the commemorative seats that you will see for sale.

A few of the versions of Yankee Stadium seats that we have.

Last of the Mohicans

You really should call us or email if you want to get seats because of the variations and options to all of these versions. We don’t want anybody to miss out on cool customizations nor do we want anybody to get something less than what they expected!

Yankee Stadium seats totally original

Totally original, never stripped. Seat/back will be in rough condition, scratches and fading. BUT, very rare since original paint!

Best condition of all Yankee seats

Hundreds of the lower level seats and the upper level seats have been configured back together with NEW plastic from the Yankee Stadium storage room, and repainted legs. Photo here is of the upper deck type, which come with wood feet underneath the floor stands. All the new plastic has same type MLB hologram authentication sticker as the rest of the Yankee seats. It even says that it came from the storage room.

Upper deck refurbished

These are the best in our opinion, they have the nice seats/backs from the storage room and the legs with “YANKEE” on them. Not many on hand!

Certificate of Authenticity

Tells the story about these versions of the seats.

Here are the versions you can buy right here online, or call for special requests!

Here is an option you have with Yankee Stadium seats, as you can see above, the stadium had solid backs and slats backs mixed in together all over the stadium. If you want to ask for either solid or slat back you can do so in the NOTES section when you order, or just send a separate email, or call. Slat backs also have the “cut corners” number plate first used in 1992 at Camden Yards in Baltimore and then throughout MLB. Photos of the slat back seats fully assembled as soon as we get a chance!
