Go Yankee's!!!

To celebrate Jeremy's last final (Tuesday) and my last day of work (yesterday-Wednesday), we decided to go to a Yankees game in the new stadium! It was a gorgeous day and we headed straight there after I left Burke for the last time! We bought our tickets on Stub Hub a few weeks ago when the Yankees weren't doing to hot and got in the bleacher section for only $11.99/ ticket! When the Yankees started winning again we were so happy to have gotten such a great deal. 
We didn't know it when we bought our tickets, but the first 18,000 fans in the stadium got a FREE  baseball hat! Bonus! I have to say I was a little skeptical about the new stadium b/c of all the history in the other one and why mess with a good thing?, but after seeing it, I was blown away. The way the new stadium is set up and the way it is so user friendly is awesome. 
We were walking by and got to see A-Rod up close and personal!  He was actually walking around in the stands meeting fans. 
Here is the view from our seats! We were totally hoping to catch a ball and even though there were 3 home run balls in a row none came close! We had Luke's booster seat which worked wonders again for the game and he and I lasted the ENTIRE game! We couldn't believe it. He was a true fan and at one point started clapping and saying "YES, YES, YES!" All of the fans sitting next to us were loving it! It was another interesting game and a guy wearing a Met shirt got totally boo'ed out of our section and escourted out by the police. I won't write what most of the fans in our section were chanting, but needless to say I was putting "ear muffs" over Luke's ears! Gotta love the Yankees!!!
