Picked up this photo off eBay for the heck of it. No info whatsoever as to where, when, why etc. I'd make the date about 1930 give or take based on clothing styles. Anybody have an idea which ballpark this might be? About the only distinguishing clues I can see are the section number fonts, the wicker-like box seats above, and maybe the windows in the back wall.

Looks like Yankee Stadium

It could be Yankee Stadium, but the big wicker seats don't seem right for YS. The mezzanine had regular fold-down stadium wooden seats. Why is no one sitting in them? I think the most diagnostic clue might be the style of the "2" in the section numbers.

I don't know the stadium...but I think that it is closer to the 50's maybe.

Looking at the section markings on the upper deck, I think it's a lock for Yankee Stadium. This image is from Opening Day of the Stadium and the 1923 season.
