One of the most distinguishing characteristics of Yankee Stadium was the [[facade|façade]], which consisted of a copper [[frieze]] that originally ran along the front of the roof of the triple-decked grandstand. The copper frieze developed a green [[patina]] over time until it was painted white during the 1960s. After the 1970s renovation, it ran a shorter distance, restricted to the top of the bleacher billboards and scoreboard.<ref name="nytimes-2009-04">{{cite news |last1=Sandomir |first1=Richard |title=A Distinctive Façade Is Recreated at New Yankee Stadium |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/15/sports/baseball/15facade.html |access-date=June 16, 2022 |work=The New York Times |date=April 15, 2009}}</ref>

Until the September 30, 1973 – April 14, 1976 renovation, the Yankees' American League championship pennants hung from the frieze. Tony Morante, who was in charge of tours at the Stadium, found most of these pennants in a box in 2004 and brought them to team executives to have them restored for display at the new Stadium.<ref name="nypost-2008-07">{{cite news |last1=Kernan |first1=Kevin |title=HIDDEN TREASURES OF 161ST AND RIVER |url=https://nypost.com/2008/07/14/hidden-treasures-of-161st-and-river/ |access-date=June 16, 2022 |work=New York Post |date=July 14, 2008}}</ref>

The [[YES Network]] uses the frieze in its graphics. It was incorporated into the logo for the [[2008 Major League Baseball All-Star Game|2008 All-Star Game]] held at the Stadium. It is also used around the main grandstand at [[George M. Steinbrenner Field|the team's spring training facility]], which has the post-reconstruction dimensions.
