Tickets are just way too much money tho, seeing prices from 500 bucks! I figure just go down, check it out, maybe get mugged, and who know maybe find a ticket for cheap!

    Never having been there before, I went down there for last Saturday night's game vs. Tampa. It was a trip planned since March, so we got our tickets for face value. I found myself in the unenviable situation of having to root for the Yanks to win (which they did)....I'll have to admit, it was cool to see Rivera come out to "Enter Sandman" (easy to say having the Yanks so far in the rear view mirror). Our seats were half way up in the upper tank along 3B, and surprisingly, I didn't feel that far away from the field.

    As I knew going in, the surrounding area of the stadium is nothing to write home about, although the new stadium looks sick from the outside.

    I'm glad I went.

    I think I'd pay 100 for a ticket, but other than that I'll stick to the outside

    Very nice ceremony image

    I find it kinda interesting though that they didn't even acknowledge Roger Clemens in the video montage on the scoreboard.

    I was there opening weekend. Even with the rain, I had a great time. Glad I was able to make it before the stadium closed [down].

    Just out of curiosity, who do you think is the "most senior" living member of the Yankee family? I think I have to go with Lawrence Berra. (It doesn't necessarily have to be a player.)

    I think if I could have anything tonight (with regard to Yankee Stadium), I would want a 105 year old Lou Gehrig in attendance.

    Bill Werber played for the Yankees in 1930 and 1933. He was born Jun 20, 1908, making him now 100 years old. He's also the only still-living player to have appeared in the 1934 Goudey set.


    Edited to add the following:

    Here are the oldest living ex-Yankees:

    Bill Werber - 100
    Lonny Frey - 98
    Tommy Henrich - 95
    Ed Levy - 91
    Virgil Trucks - 91
    Randy Gumpert - 90
    Ken Holcomb - 90

    Yogi Berra is a relatively young 83.

    Also, someone had their ticket ALREADY slabbed MINT 9 when it was scanned entering the park. Wish I got a pic of that
