Yankee Stadium

Everyone should try to visit Yankee Stadium at least once while in NYC. The new stadium is directly across the street from the old stadium and still right next to the subway. My favorite thing here is the Nathan’s Corndogs which are freshly dipped are fried fresh like you would find in the southern US.

Excellent stadium with huge, comfortable seats with a great view! Loved the New York Yankee experience at their home field! Hope to revisit this great stadium in 2016!!! Go Yanks!

Love the new stadium! It’s right next to 161^st subway station. Do have your ticket ready as the line does move quickly. Once inside, there’s a great beer stand that had (my now seasonal favorite) a great blueberry beer for a reasonable price between $ 10 – 12. I was lucky enough to go with a friend that has season passes, so we had great seats that were pretty damn comfortable. (There is also a lounge, but why watch the game there when you have front row seats?) I’d definitely recommend seeing a game at Yankee Stadium if you’re in town.
Pro tip: The flood gates open at the end of the game and it’s impossible to get out and it’s even more impossible to get on a train. I’d recommend leaving a little early. There are screens right outside the stadium near one of the restaurants, if you want to keep an eye on the game while being just across the street from the subway station.

I’m not from New York, so it seems public transportation is the best way. The train literally left us in front of the Stadium, we just had to cross the street. We printed our tickets, we had our tickets scanned, and they guided us to the right direction. We stopped by the store to get a couple things. I was nice and clean and plenty of good merch to take back home. We walked ourselves over to the bar for a couple drinks and hot dogs! Yum, I recall the girl who helped us because she was really friendly and she asked if we were from around town. She also guided us to the right direction. I have to admit the most annoying part is walking up all the stairs, I felt like it would never end. Once we got to our seats, we really enjoyed ourselves. And of course the Yankees won that day.

A lot of people go to the Yankees Stadium for the baseball experience. But, I feel like not many people gets the «Full» experience there if you just stayed at your seat the whole time. I think it is really cool to visit both Monument park and Yankee Museum while you are there.
The Monument park opens when the Yankees Stadium gate opens (2 hr before the game begin), and remains accessible until 45 minutes prior to the scheduled start time of the game. There are collection of monuments, plaques, and retired numbers honoring distinguished members of the Yankees.
During the game, you can also take a break from your seats and go visit the Yankees museum. This museum features rotating exhibits on key players, events and themes in Yankees history. You can see Trophies from the Yankees’ World Series championships, the «Ball Wall,» which contains more than 870 baseballs autographed by Yankees players, coaches, managers, broadcasters and executives, and you can also get your own locker with your name on the top!
Don’t forget getting some Philly Cheese Steak, Garlic Fries, and soft serve in the Yankee Hat cup! Read my full review on my food blog, foodlovergirl.

When in nyc of course you have to see a baseball game and who else would you see but the Yankees! Bare in mind if you go in the summer don’t wear jeans like my friend did make sure you are in a light top and shorts/​skirt as if e sun is on you it is super hot and you will melt. The stadium is really easy to get to and once you come up from the station the stadium is right there so no need to wonder around the Bronx. I managed to get some great seats for around $ 60 right near to the playing field on the lower level I think it’s worth paying a bit more as the cheapest seats right at the top are really high up and I’d imagine players looks like ants from up there.
You can buy se great merchandise that isn’t super priced up and the beer isn’t too expensive considering it comes in a large cup, and when at a baseball game of course you should get a hotdog! I had a great time here the security was quick to get through and you’re in ghe stadium in no time. Girls go to the bathroom during he game as during he intervals before and after can be very busy.

The House that George/​Jeter built. 27 World Series championships and counting. Babe, Dimaggio, Mantle, Yogi, Reggie. and so many more. There’s so much SPORTS history. Rub Ruth’s forehead in Monument Park and check out all the uniforms, baseballs, and bats on the second floor Yankee Museum. I recommend the chicken tender and garlic fries bucket for consumption.

Finally got to check out the new stadium. I will say that the commute from our hotel was only a subway ride away, no transfers required. Long lines to enter because bags had to be checked. It was 4^th of July weekend, so maybe they were being a little more cautious. It is big and beautiful and much more open than the old stadium. Great food selections but my food was not even warm so I prayed I would not get sick.
I was surprised that with the amount of money this stadium cost to build, there are obstructed view seats. Putting TV screens on the wall really does not fix the problem, especially with sun reflection (as we all know from trying to take photos with our cell phones).
Ticket prices are steep and spacing for comfort stations is a little on the far side, especially since this is a new stadium. However, at least I can say I have now been to both the old and new Yankee Stadiums.

I’m a Fan of the Yankees, but let’s not talk about how they might miss the playoffs this year.
The stadium is nice and clean, the Delta 360 suite is awesome and if you ever can shell out the money for the Legends seating with dinner, i suggest you do it — it’s a ridiculously amazing buffet you can keep going back to until the 7^th inning.
The rest of the stadium’s food is ridiculously expensive, beers go from 9 – 15, while a bit larger, is not worth that much, food starts at around 7 for just fries and goes all the way up to 20, but the amount you get is pretty good. The quality is pretty good, but the value you get from it, imho, is kinda low.
But it’s the Yankees — food and drinks will always be expensive, so 2 beers, a bucket of chicken tenders and fries was around 45 or after taxes — the soda’s were 6.50 each (but you can really just get one and drink that during the whole game)
Easily you can spend 50 bucks per person on food and drink at a game.

It’s Yankee stadium! What else is there to say. If you are going to watch a baseball game and you are in NY there is only one place to do it and one team to see, the Yankees at Yankee Stadium! Sure Citi Field and the Mets are also in NY, but this is YANKEE STADIUM!
There are a ton of food and drink options, team stores, the Yankee Museum and of course Monument Park. If you are going to a game get here early to enjoy all the ballpark has to offer.

Whoever is giving Yankee Stadium a 4-​star rating either a) is a Yankee fan and there for biased (and delusional) b) hasn’t visited many ballparks around the country, because Yankee Stadium is far from the best or c) a corporate bigwig whose company pays for his/​her seats five rows from the field. With all of that said, Yankee Stadium is not awful. There are a few redeeming factors here, but not enough to warrant a 4-​star review.
This review is coming from someone who USED to be a Yankee fan due to my parents’ affinities growing up. As a Philly kid, I rooted for both the Phillies and the Yankees. The Yankee stadium of the past was, bluntly put, a dump. But it had character. The narrow corridors, the tiny concession stands, that was all part of the charm. The new (ish) stadium is excessively expansive, in my opinion. I’ve been here maybe 10 or 15 times, and I’m always struck by how sterile and corporate it feels. So, if you’ve been living under a rock for your whole life, I’ll inform you now that the Yankees are rolling in MONEY 24÷7÷365. So they can afford this palatial dwelling that stands proudly in the Bronx. This is one of the biggest stadiums I’ve ever been to, which can either be a pro or a con, depending on personal preference. It’s simply MASSIVE. And unsettlingly clean. Stadiums should have some grit to them, in my opinion, and the new Yankee stadium lacks that. Again, personal preference.
Yankee Stadium, due to size and money, no doubt, boasts a decent variety of concession stands. You can get your normal ballpark food, but you can also find anything from celebrity chef-​inspired items to Japanese cuisine to hard liquor and wine stands… you get the idea. Even so, I think ordering phở or sushi at a baseball game is absolutely ridiculous. That said, none of the options are really that interesting. At Citi Field, you can get Subway or Shake Shack. Awesome. At Citizen’s Bank Park, you can get Campo’s steaks, Crab Fries, Tony Luke’s, Paninis, and waaaay more beer options. It’s strange that while there are a number of concession stands at Yankee Stadium, they’re quite lackluster compared to the other options out there.
Onto the game-​watching experience. I enjoy watching games here, but it’s only «meh» for me. I’ve been to over 10 stadiums in the country, and Yankee stadium is fine but no better. Listen to me when I say: I AM A PHILLIES FAN AND I LIKE CITI FIELD BETTER THAN YANKEE STADIUM. That’s a statement, folks. Like, please understand the gravity of what I just said. Because Yankee stadium is so large and offers some of the most expensive seats out there (take a look at the ticket prices for the seats behind home plate on StubHub), I don’t get that close-​knit, community feel that I typically love at other stadiums. Again, it totally depends on what you’re looking for.
My final note: WHO THE F BUILDS A BRAND NEW STADIUM WITH OBSTRUCTED VIEW SEATS. Every time I come here, I’m just as appalled. I realize that I’m biased because I’m a Phillies fan, but let me repeat: I really like Citi Field. I’m comfortable enough in my baseball affinity to state that. Yankee Stadium is just… meh.

Ok, I’m really a Mets fan so I must say, this was my first time at Yankee Stadium. Shame on me. I didn’t go to the old one either so I can’t compare it, but it is a great stadium. Clean, fun lively crowd, ie the Bronx factor.
We had a couple of vociferous wiseguys sitting behind us who tortured the opposition. (their comments were entertaining at times but a little
mean, poor them)
Beer and hot dogs were great… come on, its a baseball game… I’m not eating sushi. Lol.
Yankees won, it was a beautiful day and I was in good company. What can I say… forgetaboutit.

Yankee Stadium you were more than what I expected. I had forgotten how much fun watching a game live could be. Last time I saw a game it was 8 years ago (in the old stadium). So I got a kick out of the new stadium. The ushers do a great job making sure you are in the right section. I found them to be very organized and friendly.
The new stadium is glorious and luxurious. I sat in section 107, row 19 with my friends. We were very pleased with our seats. Not only did we have a good view but the seat cushions made it so much more comfortable. We sat next to crazy die hard fans, which kind of made the experience even better. It’s always good to bond with complete strangers over a good game.
The concession stands were awesome. You can find anything from Cuban sandwiches, panini, popcorn, burgers, hotdogs, cocktails, beer, wine, and that’s all I can remember. There are numerous parking garages to choose from. We parked in the lot across from the stadium and I believe it cost us $ 30(yikes for parking). I’m from Long Island and we don’t pay for parking like ever. Definitely had a great time though, and can’t wait to catch another game.

First, let me get this out of the way: I am not a Yankees fan. That being said, I don’t hate the Yankees either. I just prefer the Mets.
A while back I entered a contest, and to my surprise I won a couple of Yankees tickets. I had never visited the new Yankee Stadium, and my dad often took us to Mets games, so I took my dad to the Yankee game.
Now, I would have probably never gone to Yankee Stadium. Part of the reason is that I’m not a Yankees fan. A bigger part is the cost. I looked up our seats online, and noted that they would have cost us $ 100 each. Considering that we had field level seats, maybe that isn’t bad by today’s standards. However, for two people that’s $ 200. Whenever I’m at a baseball game, I have to get hot dog. A large Nathan’s hot dog with a small fries and bottle of water cost $ 18! A man was selling Heinekens for $ 15. If you wanted a Bud, that would cost you about $ 10.
Now, to be fair, my friends who have gone to Citi Field to see the Mets have made similar observations, and overpriced concessions are pretty much the norm in most professional sports stadiums. Also, that Nathan’s hot dog I had was pretty darn good. And there were a number of other food choices, from Johnny Rockets to BBQ to Kosher to Sushi to deli sandwiches, and so on.
And I have to say that the new stadium is very nice and well-​designed. We found our seats with no problems.
The people working for the stadium were friendly and helpful. The vendors selling the beer were friendly and at times hilarious. You can tell that they really enjoyed their jobs.
So, all-​in-​all, we had a great time, and I’m sure that anyone who goes to Yankee Stadium will have a great time. Just be prepared to shell out the $$$.

I try to visit a game at least once a year when I visit my best friend in New York. I love the new stadium! Take the subway in, walk across the street and you have arrived. This time the promotional item was a Yankees cowboy hat so we wanted to get there earlier to make sure we got one, yeehaw. Getting into the stadium can be a bit of a hassle since the lines are not clear.
My favorite thing to eat in the stadium has to be the pan fried chicken noodle bowl, it is a ton of food for $ 9. As far as the beer goes, I got a Goose Island IPA for $ 12. steep. I also recommend bringing in your own UNopened water bottle or else you will be paying a pretty penny for that too.
The stadium itself is very nice, I have not had any issues with the seats that I have sat in. I would not recommend the bleachers when it is hotter out so the sun does not beam down on you.
Why did you have to retire Derek Jeter?!

I should preface this review by revealing that I’m a RedSox fan, so It was very interesting coming to Yankee Stadium to see the Yankees play the Redsox.
The new stadium is enormous, looks great and has some of NYs best concessions. The cheesesteak was worth the 11 $, but it was difficult to spend 12 $ on a Yuengling Beer. Since when does wheat water cost more than Protein?
My rating is not based on the cost of beer or the stadium itself. This was all typical of a great stadium. My rating, if I could, would be a 3.5. The experience was fun, the stadium is so large it’s tough to get involved in the game. The Yankees Fans are the most difficult and rude fans I’ve seen anywhere.

Never would I thought that I’d be reviewing a baseball stadium, and I’m not a baseball fan!
My first ever MLB experience was at Yankee Stadium. Plenty of helpful staff members to direct you to your seats and different varieties of food and drinks throughout so you can choose what you are craving for. If you are too lazy to get up from your seat for the munchies, the yodeling vendors will scale the aisles with hot dogs, cotton candy, beer and other things (just have cash!). Prices are ridiculously high, but hey that’s how they get their business. HELPFUL TIP! (Learned from talking with others while there). Bring a drawstring backpack with a couple of 16 oz water bottles like Poland Spring or Nestle. The backpacks are big enough that Yankee Stadium allows, and they won’t make a fuss over a couple of water bottles. And then, you won’t have to worry about your souvenirs that you acquired after the game, throw them in the bag and catch your train.
It was a bit weird to watch the game without any commentary like on TV or the radio, but that’s where smartphones come in lol. Find the station to listen as you watch the game live, now that’s an experience! There will be rowdy and rude fans of course, but just ignore them and enjoy the game. I went when the visiting team was the Red Sox… what an experience that was!
Put going to an MLB game on your bucket list. It does not have to be Yankee Stadium, and you don’t have to be a baseball fan like myself. It’s just a once in a lifetime experience that you should try.

I’m a bit biased… growing up as an Orioles fan in Maryland, I never liked the Yankees. And then moving to NYC and shifting my allegiance to the Mets, I just sort of didn’t care about the Yankees. But biases aside, this is a pretty nice stadium.
It’s more comfortable than the old Yankee Stadium, which was very historical and inspires nostalgia but was a terrible place to watch a game. The concourses were tiny, seats were uncomfortable and it was a pain to get in and out of. This is a vast improvement and with the open concourses, you do feel a bit more connected to the game. So it’s definitely a nice place.
However, when I judge it against other newer stadiums, it really pales in comparison.
1) The food choices are nowhere as good as what I’ve seen at Target Field, PNC Park, Camden Yards, Citi Field. They have some good food but you have to really look to find it and then be prepared to stand in line for an inning just to get some of it.
2) The beer– they do have some good beer stands, but again, they are few and far between and you’ll miss a couple of innings of ballgame waiting for a beer. I had a guy selling Bronx Brewery beers (which are fine) to people standing in line at the World Of Beers stand and he went through two carriers full of beer (meaning he had to go back somewhere and reload) and the line had barely moved.
3) The neighborhood around the stadium is okay but it is not conducive to pre or post gaming like at Wrigley, PNC, Petco.
I consider the Yankees the money-​grubbing-​est of all baseball franchises so it boggles my mind that they leave so much cash on the table by not being able to serve guests in a reasonable time. I would have just skipped the beer line and kept my $ 11 if the beer vendor hadn’t been there.
So that was actually a pretty un-​biased review. It was fair and balanced. Bottom line for me is that clearly the Yankees are a world-​class franchise and their team is in an elite group of sports organizations. But their stadium can’t even compete with that of a small market like Minneapolis. It’s distinctly second tier, in my book.

I been here on many occasions and not always by choice since I’m Mets fan but I have to say this is a nice stadium. It does look like a bit mall and its very commercialize. you don’t really get the cozy warm feeling you get at many other ball parks.
I have to say they do have many food stands, the steak sandwich being my favorite.

The bleacher seats in the outfield were really great. I think all seats in the stadium are actually good unless you’re in the 300 – 400 levels (they’re just as affordable as the outfield bleacher seats) The hot dogs were tasty and the staff were friendly. The pricing and availability of items were a little strange and unexpected for what I would normally think of at a ball game.
$ 11, 22oz beer (4ea)
$ 7 bottle of water (1ea)
$ 7 hot dog (2ea)
$ 20 bottom barrel tickets (2ea) $ 40
Total: $ 105 for a few hours of fun in the sun.
However, at $ 11 per beer, a good time can really add up, but I’m less concerned about the price and more interested in how the stadium profits.
The pricing wasn’t normal and I couldn’t tell why.
I seen a lot of food, alcohol, and seating, wasted because of 1. they stop serving halfway through the event (5^th and 7^th inning), and 2. any seat outside of the outfield or upper deck starts at $ 150.
I suggest lower prices and increase sales volume and availability, OR just get it over with and tax food and beverage sales out of existence. And while you’re at it, discontinue upper deck seating and only cater to the upper echelon who pays $ 500 a seat to sit behind the dugout. But seriously, if the stadium lowered their prices and increased volume, wouldn’t everyone win?
It’s a shame that the wealthiest sports team in America is bullseye’d in the one of the poorest neighborhoods.
It makes me wonder, is it baseball or capitalism, that’s the true American pastime.
I had a great time, but I wouldn’t make a tradition out of it.

Superbe stade, superbe atmosphère quand le stade est plein. J’ai assisté déjà à 3 rencontres des yankees et bien j’ai toujours passé un excellent moment. Les prix des places est raisonnable avec Meme une remise si vous êtes détenteur d’une MasterCard. Le prix des consommations est par contre excessif (12 $ une bière, ou 8 $ du popcorn…)
