- This miniature Yankee stadium model based on the original "House that Ruth Built" is very likely the world's most accurate. When John Meeks from Hillsborough New Jersey heard that the original Yankee stadium was to be demolished in 2007, he decided the original needed to be preserved in all its glory. After 4 years and thousands of hours, his masterpiece was complete. The model represents the stadium as it appeared on June 24, 1973. The Yankees swept a doubleheader from the Detroit Tigers and John and a friend were lucky enough to be there to enjoy it. "I have attempted to replicate every significant detail in perfect proportion. The model is more than a half million individual hand cut pieces of styrene plastic, medal and wood and is unique in every sense of the word. I've showed it to relatively few people but I have had them come from as far as Texas to see it." We filmed with John recently and were blown away by this attention to detail and amazing model. Enjoy the video! Cheers- Guy (Producer, Coolest Thing I've Ever Made)

Big thank you to the Bell Fund for additional funding of this season!
imagine how many amazing things like this are in random basements around the world.
This should eventually be in a museum. The Yankees museum would be fitting. It deserves preservation.
This man's masterpiece should be purchased by the New York Yankees and placed in the front foyer of the stadium in a beautiful custom display case.
This isn't a model, it's an amazing piece of art. Totally priceless
This is a masterpiece of art & should be permanently shown at the new Yankee Stadium! very well done!
This needs to be in the hall of fame
Human ingenuity is an amazing thing to behold. This belongs in the baseball Hall of Fame!
He probably now knows more about Yankee Stadium's construction and details than anybody ever has. A true artist in many ways. "It belongs in a museum"
That's my friend of over 40 years. This stadium is unbelievable.
As a person who replicates sailing ships, I can really appreciate this. Oh, and a Yankee fan 😀
Haven't read all the comments, but the Yankee marketing contact should know about this and find a home inside the "new" stadium. What an unbelievable accomplishment. Patience is a virtue.
This model should be in a museum
the level of patience and commitment is astonishing.
The definition of work of art, modern day Michelangelo. This has to be one of the most beautiful small scale models I've seen, this guy should be recognized by the NY Yankees organization.
Amazing job. I've never been to NY living out in California, but I always admired the great history of the Yankee teams and Yankee Stadium. I applaud your effort in building this. To cool for school is all I can say. GREAT VIDEO. 😁👍
As a Red Sox fan this is the coolest thing about the Yankees I’ve ever seen. Excellent job sir very well done 👍
A masterpiece in every sense of the word. My admiration for John's skill and determination is boundless. The only possible reaction is awe. I hope he has a long life to admire and enjoy his accomplishment and I also hope he's provided for its disposition and preservation. Obviously, either the Yankees or the Baseball Hall of Fame need to acquire it and put it on display. In the meantime, Bravo John Meeks!
This is amazing, especially in an era where you could 3d print everything.
Amazing I am blown away by this model congrats this should be in the hall of fame
I felt the same way the first time I saw the Yankee Stadium in person. That shape and the Victorian-style details...it was the coolest thing to me. Been there several times in the late 1970's. Love this model!
