as you know, i'm  a die hard yankees fan. in fact, my stadium tour of yankee stadium (the old one...RIP), was probably one of the top 10 moments of my life. and it saddens me so that i couldn't go to opening day today. but being that i don't have a disposable income to pay scalpers and brokers an absurd amount of money, i couldn't afford game tickets to opening day of the inaugural season. but fear not! i am going THE DAY AFTER opening day (i.e. prices plummet). 

so tomorrow at 1:05pm, i will be in the bronx sitting in the outfield with beer and hotdogs in hand. not to mention that tomorrow is "magnetic schedule day" (my 3rd season in a row getting one). honestly, i'll probably be there around noon to get my drink on at stan's or one of the other many bars across the street. and this joy of a day only cost me $27 for each ticket! although once you tack on the beer and snacks, it's closer to $80. 

I. CAN'T. WAIT.

according to the washington square park blog:


NYU has announced that this year’s graduation ceremony will again take place at Yankee Stadium (the new one for which close to 400 trees and 1.5 parks in the Bronx were sacrificed*) because Washington Square Park, their favored graduation spot, will still be under construction by the May 13th date.

New York University President John Sexton announced yesterday that Hillary Rodham Clinton will be the speaker at the commencement and she will also receive an honorary degree.

WHAT. THE. EFF.

commencement at the NEW yankee stadium? hillary clinton? so not fair! i guess i shouldn't complain too much though. we did have police commssioner ray kelly just months after the 9/11 attacks and he gave an inspiring speech. we also had christiane amanpour (who i LOVE). 

so ok. but still. the class of '09 gets the new yankee stadium. and washington square park is NO yankee stadium.

today's ny post had an article about the cuisine at the new citi field and yankee stadium.

yankee stadium= more corporate
citi field= "taste of ny"

yankee stadium
hard rock cafe
nobu
carl's steaks

citi field
brooklyn brewery
shake shack
blue smoke
box frites
el verano

cuisine at yankee stadium= massive FAIL. as a die hard fan of everything yankees, it pains me to admit that.

so my friend M and i went to the yankee game last night. i was excited for a few reasons:
1) M, not a yankee fan, was completely open to the idea and gave in to my desire for partial season tix. so this was huge. on a side note though, M is moving away next year, so we're using that excuse as to why he bought the tix (not because he's secretly turning into a yankees fan).

2) it was the last game in the series opener.

3) baseball is here again! it's like the happiest months of my life!

so we make our way to yankee stadium after a lazy 4 train takes it sweet time in getting us there. as soon as we stepped outside it was like we got bitchslapped in the face by the wind. boy was it cold outside! nevertheless, i was so happy. baseball! yankees! hot dogs! beers!

i took out $80 from the ATM yesterday, and left the stadium with $30. we quickly came to the realization that we'd spend way more on food and beverages this season than we did on our actual tickets.

as for the game, it was cold, and the yankees lost. but yankee stadium is a staple of new york life. i'm excited for the rest of the games this season.
