The New Yankee Stadium

They Yanks nearly always win for me. On this humid Bronx night they put on another show, sweeping the Boston Red Sox with a barrage of home runs to cap the final few innings. Beyond the game, the stadium is a beauty. It is more old school than new school in architecture - resembling the old stadium and recreating an updated version of the ambience of the old as well. What is lost in aesthetics is made up for in luxury. The field level seats are padded with tempurpedic like cushions. We gave our food orders to runners who would then return with the baseball fare in record time. The food itself (garlic fries, pastrami sandwich, chicken tenders) was in-cre-di-ble. It was the best baseball food I have ever had. On this, my first trip to the new stadium, with a full stomach, I had a peaceful experience watching America's past-time with friends of my past. Frank Sinatra's "New York, New York" completed the great win, the great stadium, and the great night.

Great day for a Yankees game with that incredible 8th inning comeback.

That food looks good but greasy the few sticks of vegetables made me laugh.

No way, that looks like crap compared to the chili dog at minute maid!
