TR: The New Yankee Stadium

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

I know the front row of the Yankees infield seats are a Grand per game..but there are so many ballers in NYC..I read that 88 percent of the seats outside the premium section at Yankees stadium are under $100 per seat.

The Lehigh Valley IronPigs sold out most of their games last season because tickets are like $6..Root or others, if you ever want to see a pigs game just PM me. Last year I got to hang in a corporate box with unlimited beer and catered food..although I really wanted funnel cake, nachos and the sundaes in mini-helmets that weren't in the suite..

Root you take some great pictures!!!! Keep posting photo TRs..

Cool. Bleachers a Yankee stadium are an experience for sure. Sucks that they are dry now.

No beer, and once you leave (to go load up at one of the bars) they don't let you back in.

Is there like an in between section where you don't have to be treated like a prisoner but don't need an 8 figure net worth??

I think you can get nose bleeds for less than $30. I'd seriously do bleachers though. I usually take the train in and the best think about NJ Transit is.........



.........they let you drink in the train. Open containers, woot! But if you're a dick or too roudy, they will toss you off in a heartbeat.

Wow I didn't know that..I used to take the train from Princeton Junction to NYC...and I never knew you could drink..

It's a double edge sword...I got stuck on an overpass when the train was having mechanical problems one night after drinking close to a 12 pack....and realized there's no bathrooms.:blink:

Fenway is still better...

Although I have to admit that Camden Yards is pretty damn nice too. But that doesn't matter because the Orioles suck anyway

The chicka that sold me my package told me that the bleachers are no longer booze free. According to the Yankees A-Z Guide:

Alcohol-free seating is available in Grandstand sections 407A and 433.

Actually, the policy changed this year. No vendors go through the section, but you can now go and buy a beer and enjoy it in the bleachers.

:beer:

The lower box seats inside the dugouts at Fenway are the best seats in baseball and it's a visually interesting place to watch a baseball game but Fenway Park basically sucks as a facility to sit and watch a pro sports event. I really wish they could leave the outfield walls and bullpens as-is and tear it down and rebuild it in place one section as a time with modern seats and unobstructed sight lines.

I agree with everything you've written except for your comment about the lower box seats....Too great a chance to run into this guy:

Yeah. Look at those pointy elbows on Jennifer Garner. I definitely wouldn't hit it.

I read somewhere that the recent renovations to Dodger Stadium made their box seats the best in baseball. Me, I wouldn't know. I never could afford anything, actually would never pay more than $50-$65 per

Pretty swanky, but I'd still rather get splinters in my ass sitting in a 100 year old wooden seat designed for a 120 pound person while drinking stale luke warm beer from a draught system that hasn't been cleaned since the Kennedy administration. :smash:

Go Sox!!!
