New Yankee Stadium Notes

For those that are season ticket holders or who have ever registered and bought tickets online from the NY Yankees, know you get the annual ticket publication. Mine came with my season tickets last week, and I finally got around to reading it this morning. It contains some interesting facts about the new stadium.

The publication has some lively rendition pictures of the new lounges, restaurants and public area. It brings an excitement of I can't wait till it's done. It also gives a place for you to see showcase mock ups of some of the new stadium. The NY Yankees have set up a 4000 square foot showcase at Rockefeller Center to show of some of the new luxury boxes and suites and some of the private lounges. It is meant to sell the new private seating but is open to the public. For those too curious to wait, it probably is a good sneak peek if you can deal with the sales pitch. I intend to check it out myself.

Also listed in the publication are some of the public features of the new stadium. There will be 3 non subscription restaurants on top of the traditional subscription pubs and restaurants at the current stadium. A new steakhouse, a martini lounge and a sports bar. I don't know about the martini lounge, that would be better served as some food establishment for children. Also there will be a Yankee Museum showcasing Yankee memorable as well as some of the heavy hardware acquired by the team in it's long history. Really want to psych out the opposition, walk them past those 26 World Series Trophies which will now be on display for all to see.

While some of us are apprehensive about the new home, the preview in this year's ticket publication really wets your appetite for the new digs. I will be a little sad when they move across the street, but their new home appears to be fit for true baseball royalty; and the Yankees are the undeniable kings of baseball. In good times or bad, everyone wants to be a New York Yankee, most baseball players will agree; even some ex-Boston Red Soxs.
