Attending baseball games at any level are always a great chance to enjoy spending time with family or friends, but there is something different about the experience when you go to Yankee Stadium to watch the Yankees take the field. Step 1: to truly get a feel for baseball in the Bronx you need to try sitting in the bleachers. Sitting in the outfield with the "bleacher creatures" you are with the blue collar fans and are at the center of the action when it comes to cheering, roll calls, and the occasional wave, plus the tickets are reasonably priced.
Step 2: in terms of getting to the game, the ideal option is taking the train to avoid traffic driving to and from the game since there is a Yankee Stadium stop. Step 3: before the game you can hang out at one of the many Yankee themed bars and restaurants (Stan's is my favorite) or relax in the park outside the stadium as long as weather permits it. Step 4: getting through the gates early gives you the opportunity to watch batting practice and a better chance of going home with a souvenir.
Step 5: when game time rolls around make sure to find your seats and prepare to enjoy. At some point you are going to need something to satisfy your appetite and if peanuts or cracker jacks aren't doing the trick I would recommend a steak sandwich from Lobel's in the Stadium (you won't regret it).
Hopefully the Yankees are able to come away with a win so as you depart and head back to the train you can walk out with "New York, New York" playing through the stadiums hallways and corridors.
