For all you baseball fans out there, Yankee Stadium has a lot to offer. Don’t let the curse of Great Bambino scare you off. The Yankee baseball dynasty is here to stay. The Yankees have always had a competitive and dominant team and this epic empire is housed in a jewel of a building. Yankee Stadium is lush and exciting. It can house over fifty thousand people and is located in the southern section of the Bronx in New York City. Whether you go there for a great time or great game or both, you won’t leave disappointed. Even if by some chance you aren’t a baseball fan, Yankee Stadium hosts other events like concerts and even graduation services.
Yankee Stadium is a place of legend. It is one of the meccas of baseball, housing one of the most prestigious baseball teams of all time. Although the Yankees have been around for quite awhile, the current Yankee stadium is relatively new. The new Yankee Stadium which is built next door to the older one was completed in 2009. It took a lot of time and effort to complete and cost over four hundred million dollars. This was in addition to the expense of the rebuilding of the New York Mets Stadium as well. Although the new layout is fairly similar to the older version, Yankee Stadium has been updated with some fantastic perks.
In the new stadium, the seats for everyone are roomier and now there is a cup holder at every seat. There are also more bathrooms. All of these are big improvements, but the biggest and most lucrative one is the inclusion of a lot more suites. These suites and skyboxes can be rented out at any time during the year. It does not have to be baseball season. For all you tried and true baseball fans out there, the Yankee’s franchise has a lot of history. You can witness it all first hand at their museum which is located on the lower level near gate six.
When you come to Yankee Stadium there is a lot to do. Of course if it is in season, you can watch a spectacular game. But, even if it isn’t baseball season, there is a lot of action to be had at Yankee Stadium. For all you food lovers, there is a lot to choose from. You can get baseball staples like hot dogs and cracker jacks or more eclectic selections like candy apples and even sushi. At Yankee Stadium, there are over 25 fixed food stands and over a hundred mobile ones. You are not limited to just stale hot dogs or greasy burgers, there is a lot of food to choose from. Yankee Stadium even houses an upscale steakhouse and Hard Rock Café.
No matter what your life style or your personal interests are, Yankee Stadium has something to keep you enthralled and entertained.
