Did anyone see the Yankees' new stars?

I'd hope they'd look damn good with that payroll of theirs.

Flap,

Do yourself a favor and get there as early as possible. There is just too much to see. I took my sons to the Twins game (Melky walkoff) and our seats were incredible. Second deck, row 7. These seats are actually lower and closer to the field than the old loge. Face value of the seats were $60 but I paid $27 for each. The service at the new stadium, at least my experience, was on the level of Disney World. Everyone was courteous, pleasant, had a smile and went the extra mile. For example, I had to buy some cracker jacks for the lil tiger and a vendor actually escorted me to the concession stand. You can enter, anywhere, as you can walk through the entire stadium. IMHO, enter through the bleacher entrance. When you walk up the flight of stairs, you are actually in the center of Yankee Stadium. THE VIEW IS SPECTACULAR. The bleachers also have 10, 32 inch flat screen tvs that allow you to watch the game to say nothing of the monstrosity that is the new HD, screen out in CF. I have tons of pics and will gladly share some if you wish. Lastly, the prices at the concession stands have not changed since the 2007 season. To give you an idea, for $70, I purchased: two orders of chicken tenders and fries, one hot dog, one foot long hot dog, four sodas, a cracker jacks, a bag of peanuts and a signed souvenir baseball. Not too bad IMO. FWIW, take a look at nyyfans.com. They have great pricing on some incredible seats. I've purchased tix for four games and save an absolute bundle. Enjoy the game.

I went to one game this season too and sat in my seat for all of one inning. There isn't one section of the ball park that was not worth checking out. My favorite part about the new stadium is how they have these standing areas surrounding the park and no matter what seat you have, you can go down to field level and catch an amazing view (so long as your legs can stand it).

On the other hand, I don't like how when the stadium is empty and the ushers will not let you down into the field level seats. I mean the security there is on par with armored bank tanks. At least let the real fans move down in the 7th inning or something. SHEESH!

Well the new Stadium is awesome as you all said it was.Only problem was the walk from the subway to gate #2 was like playing the back 9 on the Black!!!That screen in center field is the one I want for my new place in Myrtle and I will never leave the couch

Too bad the "big, bad" (yeah right) Yankees still can't beat the Sox.

Yahoo, another Red Sox fan who doesn't realise his team is a bunch of egotistical showboaters.

Teix is well worth the money, CC was purchased out of neccessity. Oh, did anyone realise the Yankees Payroll is less this year.. hmm.

I also like how Sox fans always like to mention how high the Yanks' payroll is, but they conveniently seem to forget that their team's payroll is constantly in the #2 spot (yes, I know it was #4 last year, but only by a couple of million).

No one seemed to care when a Detroit Tigers team with a payroll of $138 million finished 74-88.
