Hosive

though i got to celebrate and enjoy the new stadium with jackie and larry on opening day, we did not get to enjoy a yankee victory. larry got jackie tickets to both opening day and the next day with the latter being the back up plan. but larry had no interest in going two days in a row so he drafted me to go with jackie, her sister and her sister’s friend. hungry for a win, i was eager to fill in.

for a few bucks more, i could upgrade from the bleachers to here. the upside is a more civilized crowd. less swearing, homophobia and sexual degradation.

less(that is).

but i feel further from the field. its a tough choice especially when i consider getting tickets for my daughter in the future.

the expensive seats continue to be empty. these are the luxury seats closest to the outfield still asking for $500 a pop. on both sides of the field, there were no takers. things will change as the season continues but clearly somebody made a mistake on pricing estimates.

i got to try some more yankee cuisine…these are the buffalo chicken sliders that we tried to get at the cubs exhibition but were sold out. they are real chicken and were pretty tasty. decent ballpark food choice! i think i may get this again.

my first yankee hot dog of the year. pretty standard but in a solid way. i usually only have a few hot dogs a year…with memorial day being the season. but with theresa pregnant this year, we will pass on that.

the is the view all around the stadium from the right field pole seats. pretty majestic. especially during the barrage of homers that many yankee fans have seen.

and a win! mariano was a bit shaky but we got the first win at the stadium!

i love being at the ballpark…sublime.
