Had the privilege of going to my first ever New York Yankees game and what a treat it was. Accompanied by my wife and my little, little sister-in-law. Yankee Stadium was incredible.

First we literally rolled up next to the stadium on the four train to see more chapionship banners then one can imagine. We were easily able to get into the stadium and to our seats without in less then ten minutes.
As far as lines for concessions or bathrooms, well, there were none. Everything was quick and easy to get which was a bonus. However, I did buy me and my little sister two cheeseburgers, a soda for her, a beer for me and an order of french fries for us to share and the bill came out to 40 DOLLARS!!!! Taylor (Sister) was like “WOW, that’s expensive!”. And she is 14!
As for the game itself, it was not so good. The high point was watching how the crowd buzzed everytime A-Rod came up in pursuit of his 600th home run. Sadly we would not see him get that magical home run as he would remain stuck on number 599 for a few more days before getting his dinger.
It was still a whole lot of fun to see the stadium light up with flashbulbs every time a pitch was thrown A-Rod’s way. I was able to get some good pictures from our seats and on the whole it was a good time had by all. Even if the Yankees did lose by a good amount.
