USA TODAY Sports Weekly Keepsake Edition: Yankee Stadium

This item is a special Keepsake Edition of the USA TODAY Sports Weekly newspaper, commemorating Yankee Stadium from its opening day to its last day. The physical form is a standard newspaper, folded as typical for the format, and appears to be printed on newsprint paper. The predominant colors visible are blue and white for the large masthead text 'YANKEE STADIUM', with 'Sports Weekly' and 'Keepsake Edition' highlighted in red bands. The main image on the front features a black and white photograph of Yankee Stadium, likely from an earlier era, showing vintage cars parked outside. The headline reads "From opening day to the last day at the House that Ruth Built". Below the image, notable features described include reference to "Eras of greatness Ruth, DiMaggio, Mantle, the Boss", "Signature teams 1927, 1941, 1961, 1998", and "Other highlights Bronx, fans, NFL's greatest game". A price of $4.95 is visible, along with the website "www.usatoday.com" and a barcode. A label also indicates "On sale, Spring 2008". The item is currently sealed in a clear plastic bag, which is slightly wrinkled but appears to be intact, suggesting the newspaper itself is in perfect condition, as indicated in the context. No visible damage or wear is apparent through the plastic. This appears to be a promotional or commemorative publication from 2008. The craftsmanship is typical of newspaper printing.
