When the old Yankee Stadium opened in 1923, it had ridiculous distances (except where Babe Ruth hit most of his homers). Some fences were over 500 feet from home plate.
These dimensions underwent several changes, the final set transposed to the plans for the new stadium, so that all distances in the current Yankee Stadium are nearly identical to last set at the old Yankee Stadium.
[There is a chart, still on Wikipedia (in green) which shows the old stadium's distances in their historic light.]

It is being built on the current site of Macombs Dam Park in the New York City borough of the Bronx, across the street from the current Yankee Stadium, which it will replace. The existing stadium opened in 1923. Groundbreaking ceremonies for the stadium took place on August 16, 2006, the 58th anniversary of Babe Ruth's death, with team owner George Steinbrenner, then-Governor of New York George Pataki, and Mayor of New York City Michael Bloomberg among the notables donning Yankees hard hats and digging up some dirt to mark the occasion.
