I've looked in every physical store in CT and even one in upstate New York, but I haven't been able to find the original Department 56 Yankee Stadium piece -- I see it's on Ebay, but I'd like to find a discounted sale on the piece, of course!
This one I'm looking for is from Christmas in the City and it's much larger than the current accent pieces that are being sold.
Speaking of the upstate New York store, I can't remember the name of the store, but it was one of the nicer ones I've visited. They had some spectacular displays, especially the Original Snow Village Halloween display. It was halfway from Hartford to Buffalo. I'll dig more into Google and try to remember the city. I recall they had a large billboard on the highway and that was what made us stop by.
I'm due to return to upstate New York possibly in October, so I'd love to get some recommendations for Department 56 shops to visit on my way. We go up to Olean, NY, to spend time with family. It's a quiet town, very New England-like. I think everyone in the town works in the same place, and they all are extremely friendly.

I'm hoping that our shop is the one you are referring to. We're in Elmira, New York and are called The Christmas House. We have a billboard and a great village display, so maybe? Sorry to say that we don't have the piece that you're looking for though. We're in "Yankee" country so that was a popular piece. See you in October? Elf Julie
