Yankee Stadium

The only thing that could have made this day any better is if the Rangers had won.  But, alas, they lost in 12 innings with a score of 3-2.  That was the only down side to this day.  Here's another myth debunked:  Yankee fans were all cheerful, helpful and went out of their way to make us feel welcome.  Some of them even complimented my Ranger shirt!  They took photos of us, and all they wanted in return was for us to admire their stadium.

That was easy to do since it's lovely.  It's sleek, and has the latest technology, and crowd control methods, so even though the place was almost completely full, the concession lines were manageable and the bathrooms plentiful.   Every seat has an unobstructed view of the field (very important for baseball fans).  There was ooodles of leg room and the seats were comfortable. 

We took the subway train - a pretty straight shot of about 45 minutes to get to the park.  We left plenty of time to see Monument Park (see pictures), find our seats, (front row Mezzanine - between home plate and third base), and eat lunch (Nathan's hot dogs and corn dogs).  It was just a tad warm, but if you've been to a game at Texas Stadium in July - this was nothing. 

Enjoy the pictures - they tell the story
