going to a Yankee game is as much about what you see on the field as it is your experience
off of it today we'll take you through the Ultimate Game Day at Yankee Stadium from tours
concessions and more so you're prepared for your first or next game here let's go Stadium
you can take the New York City subway the four or the B train the D train on weekends
to 161st Street Yankee Stadium to cheapest option at 275. my top pick for tourists first
time visitors to the city I say take the Metro North train from Grand Central Station in
Midtown stops at Yankee Stadium in only 15 minutes now if you do want to drive parking
garages are available the closer you are to the stadium the more expensive it'll be forty
dollars right next to it thirty dollars 25 further away you go the new Yankee stadium
as we'll call it opened in 2009 the original Yankee Stadium across the street there's a
little piece of it still remaining that they left it is now a field for kids some advice
on purchasing tickets you can go through ticketmaster.com that is directly through the Yankees or you
can check out StubHub which is one of their Partners if you want an even cheaper price
for certain games that aren't as popular for example tonight against the Orioles on StubHub
I saw prices like 15 even 20 and many times you can wait till right before the game maybe
15-20 minutes before and get a really good deal on StubHub ticket goes directly to your
phone I've got my friend Brent with me super Yankee if I've been to hundreds of games of
the new stadium he's our Insider for today's video and when you enter what gate would be
the fastest for most fans I wouldn't recommend gate sick that's where most of the fans are
going to be entering in I would recommend gate eight bleachers K4 or even gate 2 which
is a little bit further off to the impact [Music] keys for providing us this in-depth
experience you're about to see we're starting with a stadium Hands-On tour now you can purchase
this for select games for the cost of 144 dollars and there's a less expensive version
of this tour called the classic History tour for 35 bucks but for the Ultimate Fan what
you're about to see I think is worth the money let's go now this in front of us is the Yankees
Dugout down the first base line here visitors on the third base side it is real grass out
there Kentucky Bluegrass they grow it in New Jersey though you can do that it doesn't have
to come from Kentucky it's weird to say but smelling the grass it's not something that
I normally am used to living in the city actually smelling grass is fantastic and being able
to see the players not only from the Yankees but the Hozier team as well
foreign
Park where we celebrate the past and those that made this team what it is today Monument
Park will open when the gates open to the general public but they will close the door
up there 45 minutes before the first pitch during a game you can't have anybody walking
around here it might be a distraction of the Batters you come visit Monument Park but the
best way to do it taking a tour take mature like we're doing we got the Yankees retired
numbers Lou Gehrig's number four was the first number retired in Major League Baseball and
it goes down and around the actual monuments of Monument Park are in the middle Derek Jeter
was always my favorite growing up Paul O'Neill was definitely up there as well so I I gravitated
to this spot right here and we have a beautiful Memorial dedicated to the New York police
firemen and First Responders this is a monument of course not a player but something very
important always going to be remembered here so I'm rubbing Derek Jeter's plaque [Music]
thank you
ball just went the second row oh my God should we go
got it my nine-year-old self would be going crazy right now my 38 year old self thinks
this is cool too remember if you book one of these tours classic or this one book it
during batting practice you have the opportunity to fetch a ball just like that [Music]
this is the New York Yankees Museum presented by Bank of America and this is open to all
ticket holding guests at New York Yankees home games the museum opens from 90 minutes
before first pitch and it closes at the end of the eighth inning this is the uniform that
Babe Ruth wore in 1934 after the regular season ended on an American League All-Star tour
of Japan got a question what what do you think this would cost like open market auction more
money than I'll ever have I know that for sure you can actually see the name b Ruth
wow chain stitched inside the collar that's how uniforms are identified in those days
the name would be chain stitched your hands are where Babe Ruth's hands were 90 years
ago I forget the Home Run balls come for this that's right I honestly wish every Museum
in the world would like to do this if you were a Yankees fan this place is like a playground
another treat here for you this is Aaron's bad he used this bad in 2019 four years ago
I let you hold Aaron judge's bat wow yeah could you read the name it's in cursive here
it's actually stamped in the barrel George Babe Ruth the man the myth Legend This is
Babe Ruth's bat it's from 1922 when Babe Ruth was the most famous athlete really not just
in America but in the entire world I feel like I'm about to shake that magic this is
Babe Ruth's bat it is so heavy this is so heavy it feels like it's about to break my
wrist 45 ounces wow now around the rest of the museum we have the ball wall which is
the first thing you kind of saw when we came in here and this is the actual distance of
a Major League pitcher's mound going to home plate 60 feet six inches long people can look
around we have game used jerseys hats bats gloves cleats there's original ticket stubs
the first year the Yankees won the World Series 1923 you'll notice that it's a gold pocket
watch those Rings just get bigger and bigger and bigger and shinier and I don't think the
players are going to complain about it yeah thank you [Music]
[Music]
all right we are starting with the 99 Burger which they only sell 99 per game named after
Aaron judge there's already a line of what looks like more than 99 people but they're
going to give us special access here to show you oh that smell oh my God it smells so good
thank you thank you by the way they updated us now they sell 199 of these a game because
they're just too popular now if you're wondering what is in this 99 Burger Aaron judge number
99 he's from California it is a California Smash Burger we've got two four ounce American
wagu beef patties American cheese caramelized onions Secret Sauce briocheon dill pickles
lettuce and tomato extra upon requests but you really don't need it and this thing is
like the size of Aaron judge right yeah it's definitely a burger fit for the tablet that's
a lot of meat on a lot of Secret Sauce just these charred off pieces gives it a delicious
by Bob you always know it's going to be fresh because they're selling them non-stop these
things don't wait they generally sell out I'm thinking within the first hour there are
so many flavors going on like the first flavor hits you oh and then the second one hits and
throwing hits and then all of them combined is so delicious and let's look at back at
Brent he's trying to eat this thing in 99 seconds I mean I just can't stop eating it
[Music] so Brent you insisted on the labels now they have their main location on the Upper
East Side then they have this Yankee Stadium Outpost which you're just crazy about right
yeah steak sandwich and the second thing that they do sounds awesome the meat comes in that
medium rare I get steak fries every single time I'm here at the stadium that's just so
gluttonous my God the meat is tender surprised or cooked the way we want them and the queso
a little spicy I'll be honest but I think it makes it all complete two people could
down this I don't think one person even has to do this one but you said you were dreaming
of this sandwich all day right oh absolutely here we go
[Music] we have a lot of Yankee shakes here this is the Pinstripe vanilla shake this is
a good one for couples I'm thinking Sunday afternoon 2 p.m 80 degree day out in the sun
just doesn't spot if you just walk into the game it's about to start you need to look
up before you go to your seats why at gate six you get into What's called the Great Hall
which is a massive Hall full of former Yankees we have celebration won the World Series chance
well it's just a beautiful way to just enter into the stage
all right something very iconic to Yankee Stadium for many years is the roll call on
the top of the first inning you have to first pitch is thrown the preacher creatures Shout
Out Center left right first second short stop and third players respond back as a good hand
player participation better better
you know at one point it got so bad in the bleachers that they banned alcohol right so
allegedly in 2000 the Yankees stand uh alcohol and the bleachers yeah bleach Acres coming
in what they call Lucy's little small bottles of liquor and their socks and other places
honey we want to talk about but back in 2009 with the new stadium the stadium is now open
for everybody so every section can enjoy beer but if it's your first time going to a Yankees
game sitting in the bleachers is one of a kind I will definitely okay so so I want to
thank the Yankees for inviting us and putting us in section 122. these are very expensive
field mvpcs now we were talking about this it's your first time coming to a Yankees game
it's like where would you tell someone to sit so first off if you really want to get
the best uh view of everything that's going on I would definitely leave a shoot in the
300s 400s right behind home plate bleachers especially the right field bleachers if you
want to get that party by you want to get that Rowdy Vibe I think sitting behind home
plate be at the upper level I was a baseball broadcaster for a couple of years it's like
what they see up there what I try to discourage you from doing with your first game is sitting
upper Upper Deck in the Outfield if you don't know baseball well you might zone out a lot
of people think that baseball is a super slow boring game and they may still think that
we disagree but now there's a pitch cloth he's a change yeah up to 30 minutes on average
of every baseball game which is now uh under three hours for the first time in about seven
years
[Applause]
now we must show you the value chicken bucket a lot of Yankee fans have said that this is
one of the best deals for a group of three or four friends right yeah or the uh people
affectionately on Twitter call it chicken bucket you have eight chicken tenders with
a pound of fries that comes in for 25 dollars that's got you to stay in by far you know
what I see my tutors buzzing about this again Great Value I feel full just working with
this thing that's all I have to say the Yankees have free Wi-Fi that you're able to connect
to really useful point I didn't even think about in Europe and a lot of other soccer
stadiums you definitely have beer bands especially when the game starts up but here you drink
a beer at any time foreign
baseball game for those who don't understand the charm of it sitting and chatting yeah
I've had some of my best life conversations with some of the closest friends of mine at
baseball games though some of my really strongest friendships just by going to Yankee games
it was your first trip to New York there's some escapes you want to avoid and in this
video here we share 10 mistakes you'll make in your first three days in New York watch
