** ADVANCE FOR WEEKEND EDITIONS, SEPT. 20-21 -- FILE -- ** In this Aug. 17, 1948 file photo, American flags atop Yankee Stadium, nicknamed "The House that Ruth Built," are poised at half staff in honor of Babe Ruth in New York, the day after he died. The stadium was an edifice built to symbolize American power, meant to be as much a symbol of New York as the Colosseum was of Rome. And now, 85½ years after it was opened, Yankee Stadium is about to close. (AP Photo, File)
