Going to Yankee Stadium this Sunday...

[tylerfrombelair]

My friend wanted to get tickets to see the O's this week, but he was busy, so we are going up for the last year of Yankee Stadium to see them play the Angels this Sunday.

Its a 1:05 start time and we figured to get in the area 3 or so hours before game time. I was just wondering if anyone knows about parking (location, cost, etc) and maybe some restaurants/places to see around the stadium. Thanks a ton.

I was just there last night. Depending on where you are coming from, I would take the subway. It'll be crowded, but it's cheap and easy.

Also, there is not much around the stadium to see/do before hand unless you are planning on seeing Monument Park but I would look into that and make sure you don't need to make an appointment to see it because that was the impression I got when I was there. I was unable to see it.

Apparently, Arthur Ave. is the place to go for before-hand food, but it's far from the stadium. If you are driving, it might be a good place to check out. As for places to eat around the stadium, there isn't much, but the Yankee Tavern looked like a decent spot if you can get there early enough before the crowds.

I went last night as well and wanted to go to Monument Park. They say its open from 5:05 until 6:20. We got into the stadium as soon as the gates opened and by the time we got to the line for it, it was already closed b/c the line extended to the upper deck.

Their is a McDonald's on the corner

Parking is probably 10-20 bucks. I haven't drove there in like 5 years. I am sure someone has driven their recently to give you the parking prices now.

I'm going to that game too. This will be my first trip to Yankee stadium. We are taking the subway in since that's probably the easiest way to get there.

Yeah this will be my first trip also, I'm really looking forward to it. And the more I look at the options, the subway seems to be the most viable one as it does drop you right off at the stadium. Now its just finding where to park to catch the subway.

The subway was convienent, for sure... BUT... It was the most uncomfortable ride of my life! It was completely packed and people just continued to push their way on at each stop to the point that the doors would not close b/c they were leaning on them. I had no place to hold and am fairly certain about 5 other people held onto me (not to mention the lady who rested her chin on my arm).

Thats the beauty of NYC, baby. The same thing happened to us on the way back from the game too. And no one got off the train until the 59th Street/Columbus Ciricle stop too! That's like a twenty minute ride!

I don't think you want to be holding on to anything.
