Through the first 76 games played at Yankee Stadium this season, the New York Yankees lead the Major Leagues in total home attendance (4,000,924) and average home attendance (52,644), and have outdrawn the American League average by more than 21,000 fans per game.

The New York Yankees have also seen their home attendance increase in each of the last seven seasons (2001-'07).
