Awful SEAT SWAPPING experience. Read on. Went to a Yankees Red Sox game on 10/1/12 and felt like I was in a concentration camp. I've never been to this ball park and not sure if it was typical of every game or just these 2 rivals but I can't believe the number of cops inside and outside the building. I couldn't move without being scolded and told not to stand there, or you can't put your food down here and heaven forbid you try to move and sit in a completely empty outfield section without a ticket without the risk of being thrown out of the building. If you've never heard of SEAT SWAPPING before, beware of doing it at this ridiculous ballpark. A couple were leaving at the 7th inning and noticed that I was looking for a seat down in the outfield section and asked me, do you want my tickets? I said sure and he gave me 2 tix. My buddy and I showed the girl the tix (which she saw me get from the couple) and reluctantly let us through although she said you're not allowed to do that. The section was about 1/4 full. Almost completely empty. I'm thinking what in the world is she talking about. It was no more than 2 minutes before a guy was tapping on my shoulder asking me to show my tix. I showed him the tix the guy just gave me and he TOOK them and said you have to get out!!!! Why? He said they were not your original tickets and therefore you can't sit here. I said What? He said, let's go. He was very pleasant but insistant on us having to leave. He called it SEAT SWAPPING. I went to security first and then to the customer relations office and some young girl knew all about SEAT SWAPPING and gave me some bull**** story about how you can't buy a cheaper seat then swap it to sit in a better seat if you didn't pay for it. I told her that I had 2 cheaper seats upstairs and these kinda better seats downstairs, spent hundreds of dollars for them and my family and I were trading seat locations during the game. She said in so many words too bad. I said that now I no longer have a seat because the usher took them from me. She didn't care and I was officially kicked out of those seats. They all said it's their policy. Holy crap Batman. How is this possible? Yankee stadium and their policies SUCK. Moral of the story: If some generous good fan, leaves the park early and kindly offers you his seats, RUN the other way or else they may lock you up for SEAT SWAPPING! This is the HONEST truth of what happened. I'd love to hear other comments to this post. I'm now a Sox Fan!!!! read more

It has been a dream of mine to visit Yankee Stadium. Baseball in the Bronx is something every fan should experience at least once. I attended the Yankees vs. White Sox game on a perfect 22°C evening, and from the moment I approached the stadium, I could feel the energy and excitement that make it one of the most iconic venues in sports. The atmosphere was incredible. The stadium was packed with a great mix of die-hard Yankees fans, tourists, and people simply enjoying a night out with hot dogs and beer. The energy throughout the game was contagious and added to the overall experience. I was seated in Section 227 and had a solid view of the field and the action. The stadium itself is clean, modern, and surprisingly easy to navigate. One of the highlights was exploring the ballpark and seeing the many tributes to Yankees legends and the franchise's remarkable history. Everywhere you look, there are reminders of the players and moments that have made the Yankees one of the most successful organizations in sports. The food options were also impressive. The hot food was especially good, with quality burgers, hot dogs, Italian sausages, and even dumplings available throughout the stadium. My only minor complaint is that craft beer options were somewhat limited and a little harder to find than at some other Major League ballparks. Another pleasant surprise was how clean and well-maintained the facilities were. The bathrooms were surprisingly clean, and the staff did a great job keeping lines moving and helping fans navigate the stadium. Whether you're a Yankees fan or simply a baseball fan, Yankee Stadium is a must-visit destination. The combination of history, atmosphere, great food, and the opportunity to watch a game in one of baseball's most famous venues makes for an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend catching a game if you have the chance. read more

I got to experience Yankee Stadium for my first time last weekend, when I decided to treat the BFF with a little birthday trip to see the Yanks! Being that this is biggest ballpark I've ever been to, I was wondering what the experience would be like, but have to say I really loved the overall vibe of the ballpark and the festive atmosphere of a Yankees game. There were lots of things to like, for instance if you get there when the gates open (2 hours before the start), food is 25% off! Score! Not to mention, it is easy to get to (we took a cab from ues, but the train drops you right next to ballpark). I thought the seats were comfy and not too cramped. Plus, that huge scoreboard and the detailing around the stadium was so charming. Oh and I loved the craziness of the rooftop seats - you see them on TV but it is cool to see in person. Now, it wasn't perfect. The bathrooms seriously lacked (not surprising in a ballpark). The women's room was disgusting (water and trash everywhere) and there was always an incredibly long line. The food choices where good stadium food kind of choices (although I don't know the last time I saw anyone sell Old Style on tap), but as the game went on it was crazy busy and absolutely impossible to get food. We were on the 400 level and I honestly don't know where the line ended for food up there around the 5th. It was just a crush of people! Then there is the after game craziness. The line for the train was 20 people wide and blocks long! So we opted for a cab, but found out the organized cab stand is just a free for all! We lucked out, but it takes persistence, pushiness and dumb luck to get taxi after the game. At any rate, it was a great experience and hey, Yankees won - amazing! read more

As someone who was born a Yankee fan and grew up in New York City, I've experienced the magic of both the old Yankee Stadium and the new one, and I have to say the new stadium is nothing short of incredible. It's the perfect blend of modern amenities and the rich history of the most winningest franchise in the world. I recently attended Game 4 of the 2024 World Series (the only game we won, but hey, we'll take it!), and the experience was second to none. The energy inside Yankee Stadium is unmatched. Even though we haven't brought home a championship in almost two decades, there's still an undeniable sense of pride and loyalty that fills the air. The fans, the staff, and the stadium itself radiate passion for the game and the Yankees' legacy. The atmosphere is electric, and every detail is designed to make your visit unforgettable. If you go, you absolutely need to explore the museum inside the stadium it's a treasure trove of Yankee history, from Babe Ruth to Derek Jeter and beyond. The team stores are also a must-visit, filled with memorabilia and gear that any baseball fan would appreciate. Whether you're a die-hard Yankee fan or just a lover of the game, you owe it to yourself to visit Yankee Stadium at least once. This is the house that Jeter built, and it carries the weight of decades of baseball greatness. Watching a game here isn't just about the sport; it's about being part of something bigger the history, the tradition, and the community of fans who love this team through thick and thin. There's truly no place like Yankee Stadium. If you get the chance to go, take it. You won't regret it. read more

Walking into Yankee Stadium just feels different--in the best way. There's an energy here that's hard to replicate anywhere else. Even though it's the newer stadium, it still carries that deep-rooted history of the New York Yankees, and you can feel it in everything from the architecture to the way the crowd shows up. Monument Park alone is worth getting there early for--it's one of those places that reminds you how much legacy is tied to this team. The stadium itself is clean, modern, and incredibly well laid out. Getting around is easy, sightlines are strong from most sections, and there's a wide range of food options that go way beyond typical ballpark fare. Whether you're grabbing something quick or actually trying to enjoy a solid meal during the game, there's a lot to choose from. Staff throughout the stadium were helpful and efficient, which keeps everything moving smoothly even when it's packed. What really makes it a 5-star experience, though, is the atmosphere. Yankees fans bring intensity, but it never felt unwelcoming--just passionate and locked into the game. Big moments feel bigger here. Between the history, the energy, and how well the stadium is run, Yankee Stadium absolutely lives up to its reputation. Even if you're not a Yankees fan, this is one of those places you have to experience at least once. read more

Definitely not worth the price of admission. This stadium reminds me more of a sterile corporate building than a ballpark. Some of the nicer features of the stadium include the beautiful exterior, the great hall, parts of the Yankee museum, the frieze, flags on the roof, and attention to the teams past. The interior architecture has a cold, sterile design. It is simply not charming. The lower level mote reinforces the segregation of the fans (so much for fan/player interaction). The recessed decks remove fans from the action enabling more lux suites (greedy bastards). The front office has screwed up this ballpark and organization beyond belief. The stadium reflects the front offices intention; maximize profits while neglecting the fans. Unless you want to spend some serious cash, stay home and watch the game on television. It is better than giving your money to greedy front office business people, who could care less about you the fan. The Mets Citi field offers a better experience at a more affordable price. read more

RIP House that Ruth Built. Beautiful and imposing building great concourses, awful idea. Sadly, it's too late to go back now. It's obvious that this stadium was not built for the real Yankee fan, and it's obvious that age and health are not what has Bob Shephard staying home. If you gave this place a good review, you are not a real baseball fan and have no idea what the Yankees represent. This stadium was built for tourists, chicks, and two generations of Steinbrenner greed. Taxpayers who were robbed, Bronx residents screwed out of their parklands, and Yankee fans permanently separated from the most magical place in New York can question for years to come why the F we need a $1.5 monument to greed across the street from Baseballs Cathedral goes slowly to pieces. Oh, and if that's not enough, there are 10 reminders a year when the Yankees play at Fenway Park of a better time for the game, a better time for our country. read more

What is there that even needs to be stated? Upon walking into Yankee Stadium, you can feel the magic and history. This is a team with such a storied past and a timeless legacy. This new stadium is already going into its 10th year open, CRAZY! It's a beautiful building that is so well maintained. Bathrooms are always clean, seating areas as well. The staff here is great, always willing to help and assist. You pay a premium here for food ( and bottled water...) but I guess that is to be expected. Food here is really good too, with something for EVERYONE. When you leave this stadium, you leave a changed person, regardless of the outcome of the game. You leave with a new memory made, one you'll remember for a very long time! It was a great day had at the stadium, and I can't wait to return, to the house Jeter built! read more

I have been a life long Yankee fan. My first game was in 1978 when I was 3, and I remember it. I've been to hundreds of games at the old stadium, so I was concerned at the announcement they were going to tear down the house that Ruth built. I was concerned the whole experience would change. There was nothing like the old place. You could just feel the history and the ghosts when you walked into it. However, I must say, the new place is beautiful with tons of tributes to the past. Only beef is the prices for food and booze. I highly suggest if you drink, hit up Stan's beforehand, and avoid buying more than 2 of the 10 dollar beers. Other than that a flawless baseball experience. The new screens are unreal. A palace worthy of the most storied franchise in sports and baseball royalty. read more

I'll start with the fact that I'm a Yankee fan. I go to about two to three games a year ( a lot of the time I get free tix from work) Whether it's a day or night game , I love the baseball experience. Nothing beats a cold brew and watching your favorite team. Yankee stadium has all the amenities to please the modern fan. What more could you want, Wifi, every imaginable type of cuisine, helpful staff and the 4 train essentially inside the ballpark! I've sat almost everywhere in the stadium and for me nothing beats the value of the bleachers. I mean come on? 30 bones on stubhub the day of. Minus one star for the prices. Crazy. Excessive. Bank breaking. How can I afford to take the wife and kids to a day at the ballpark? Well, I still do but wish we could all go more than once a year. read more

As a lifelong baseball fan, visiting Yankee Stadium for the first time was an experience I'll never forget. From the moment I walked up to the stadium, the atmosphere felt special. The energy from the fans, the history surrounding the team, and seeing the iconic field in person exceeded my expectations. The stadium itself is clean, modern, and easy to navigate. There are plenty of food and drink options throughout the concourses, and I appreciated how organized everything felt despite the large crowd. One of the highlights was taking time to explore the stadium and see the tributes to Yankees legends and the franchise's incredible history. Whether you're a die-hard Yankees fan or just a baseball fan in general, Yankee Stadium is a must-visit destination. read more

A stuffy, sterile, 1.5 billion dollar monstrosity. This place is only getting four stars because of the Yankee brand. The stadium has about as much character as a hospital. Add to it that it is filled with front-running, obnoxious, bridge and tunnel meatheads, guidettes, and tourists, this is the last place any true baseball fan would want to be. It's a zoo, a tourist trap, a side-show. Want to visit a stadium that REAL NYers that were born and bred here go? Take the 7 train to Citi Field in Queens. Not only is it much cozier and unassuming, you'll get to see NY's real team, the NY METS. Yes, they don't make the playoffs every year but they have a die hard passionate fanbase that are actually from this city. read more

I'm not a huge baseball fan and since I lived in Queens for a while and also like the Red Sox, I generally would go to Mets games once in a while. This was my first visit to Yankee Stadium. Now, I never went to the original Yankee Stadium, so I have nothing to compare it to, but everyone I have spoken to said the original was better. The ball field is really nice. Big but not too big. The food selection is just so-so. My friend doesn't eat meat, so he had trouble finding something to eat. The beer was REALLY expensive. $10 for a plastic cup. But I guess you would expect that sort of pricing. Overall, I think CitiField is a better place to see a ballgame, but, hey, Yankee Stadium is legendary. read more

These Securitas people in the blue shirts are a pain in the -ss. We sat by the Right field foul pole. Constantly telling people what they can't do. Can't stand up and take a photo during play, can't put your drink there, Twice during the game they asked to see our tickets while we were sitting, Take your foot off the cement wall. Too many stories to list. The best was when a couple young kids moved down and sat in the front row going into the bottom of the ninth. The kids were going to sit there for the last 3 outs. Securitas made the kids go back to there seats. There was barely anyone in our section. I yelled at the Securitas guy and he said, "Sorry man, rules are rules". Are you kidding me!! read more

This stadium is beautiful. No matter your position on Yankee baseball, any sports fan in the world knows of its place in MLB history while tourists flock the stadium year after year, some who don't even know the game itself. That was the old Yankee stadium. The new one retains the essence of its predecessor while capturing the new and sophisticated look of a 21st century sports venue. There is nothing like this place in the world, most visitors would agree. As a loyal mets fan of the last decade, I would even concede that even the new Citi Field bears little qualities worth comparing. It is simply the finest place to play baseball. And though it's completely irrelevant, go Mets. read more

I was not in favor of closing the old stadium. I had no complaints and I was really against them building a new one. However, if they had to build a new one, they did a very good job. While it lacks much of the gritty feel of the old school stadium, the new one does have much wider concourses, better bathrooms, better food choices, and I think its better for kids. They replicated just enough of the old feel that if you get engrossed in the game, you may forget you are in a new spot. I wouldnt complain if we could go back to the old stadium, but as long as we cant, I will be pretty happy to go to the new one many times. read more

As a life long Yankee fan, I have been to the stadium numerous times. It is a completely different beast than the original Yankee Stadium. Both have an aura about them, but a different aura. At the old Yankee Stadium, you had that feeling of history, tradition, etc. The new stadium gives a feeling of rebirth, new life and excitement. The ticket prices are a little bit more than what they were at the old stadium but the stadium is a lot nicer and have more to offer the fans. The food is great, but pricey. I wish things could be a tad cheaper there, but other than that I have no complaints. read more

Yankee stadium and monument park are great. We had tickets that brought us to an area where they have a food restaurant just for that seating area. I think it was called the clubhouse . If you get to the stadium early, you can watch batting practice. We live the entire setting up of the field, watching the players interact, and Kate smith singing God bless America in the 7th. Make sure to wear a Yankees shirt and don't bring big bags or outside food or water. Food here was included in our tickets but drinks are expensive to buy. Go this year if you want to see Jeter. read more

Yankee Stadium is one of the coolest ball parks I've ever been to. It is iconic! For our New York trip we wanted to catch a Yankees game. My wife is the biggest Yankees fan, so we had to plan a trip out here to catch a game. We arrived early so that we would have plenty of time to check everything out. There is so much to do and see here. Food prices are crazy, but that's how it goes at any ball park you visit. We had the bucket of chicken and fries. It was a great experience, it was everything we expected and more! read more
