First, I love the fact that the subway leaves you right at the gate! There is not that bullshit of finding parking, blah blah blah. Tailgating? I don't live in Florida where they have to drink in a parking lot because they have not many options. Asking a New Yorker to tailgate is like asking Ana Wintour to wear something from Old Navy or Lindsey Lohan selling vitamins. It just doesn't make sense to us. Tailgate to us happens outside of the tents during Fashion Week....
So there you are at this amazing new building which houses a Hard Rock, its own private Steak house, multiple bars including a rooftop deck with frozen drinks and a sports bar (which I don't know who pays all this money to be there AT the game and watch it from a screen!) Simply stupid but again...3hours! So Im guessing they thought of all of us that don't have the attention span to sit there like a good ol' Boy Scout and watch the whole thing.
I don't know what it is but every time I go, I'm filled with the passion of all this hardcore fans including the old people that have been following this team all their lives. People wearing their jerseys to support this team no matter what. I think for me it also symbolizes the beginning of summer. There is all this energy in the place but also this peace 'cause there is nothing more relaxing on a hot afternoon than to sip on your beer and watch Jeter go at the bat.
With Sinatra's New York New York being played, the trivia in between innings and the famous jumbotron screen were they show people (I've been on it!), the baseball experience is way more exciting at the Stadium. Watching Madonna and Geena Davis save baseball on A League of their Own doesn't count! They didn't save it? Umm I think they did and if not well, they made this boy look at baseball with different eyes. So get your blue shirt, a beer and bag of peanuts, and yell "Let's go Yankees" with the rest of the crowd. You'll feel liberated!
