Some swanky new overlays courtesy of Greg Rybarczyk at HitTracker. Yankee Stadium III is larger than Citi Field in just one small area of left-center; otherwise, Citi Field is bigger all-around, and dramatically so in rightfield and right-center.

Psh. They call that a ballpark.
It’s like a Little League field.

In short
Yankee Stadium is a joke.
Have there been any studies done on the “currents” which supposedly carry the ball further at the Stadium?

How tall are the walls in Yankee Stadium?

Laughably short
Eight feet — approximately two feet shorter than the old Yankee Stadium.

Wow, that's pretty pathetic.

Left center gap
In reality, it’s probably just as hard to hit a home run to that area at Citi as it is at YS III. I have to believe that when you factor in the height of the wall, the true distance in left center probably evens out.
