It was located beyond the left-center field fences, near the bullpens. The origins of Monument Park can be traced to the original three monuments of [[Lou Gehrig]], [[Miller Huggins]] and [[Babe Ruth]] that once used to stand in-play in center field. Over the years, the Yankees continued to honor players and personnel with additional monuments and plaques. After the 1974β1975 renovations of Yankee Stadium, the outfield fence was moved in, enclosing the monuments and plaques on the old fence and creating "Monument Park". A visual collection of retired numbers was soon added to this location. Monument Park remained there until the stadium's closing in 2008; after the [[Yankee Stadium|new Yankee Stadium]] opened, the retired numbers, plaques, and monuments were moved into a new Monument Park in the new ballpark.
