Toronto, New York City has seen alot of tourism result due to the overwhelming popularity of their professional sports team, the New York Yankee. Thousands upon thousand flock to every year to have an opportunity to see one of the greatest sport franchises play the game they know best.

In a recent article  by Mike Fitzpatrick,  he goes on to talk about how New York begins its 84th and final season at Yankee Stadium by hosting Toronto on Monday, the beginning of a long kiss goodbye to one of the most famous venues in sports.

In preperation for this season comes the realization of next season where in 2009, the Bronx Bombers will move into a $1.3 billion new Yankee Stadium, located just across 161st Street. This year, a digital display in center field will count down the number of regular-season home games remaining at old Yankee Stadium. As the teams worked out Sunday, the screen showed 81.

This will surely be a record breaking year for tourist visiting this great stadium for the last time.
