Yankee Stadium

Frommer's Review

Next to the Colosseum in Rome, there aren't many more famous sports arenas in the world than the House That Ruth Built. The Yankees play from April until October (and, since they seem to be in the playoffs most years, mostly through Oct). Depending on who's in town, tickets, which range in price from $12 to $115, can be tough to score. But if you plan in advance, and even if you don't, you should be able to purchase a seat by going through a broker or scalping (be careful of forgeries) the day of a game. If you are not visiting during the baseball season, tours of the stadium, including Monument Park, are held year-round. For more information, see the section "Spectator Sports," later in this chapter. This is your last chance to get to what's left of the 1923-built Yankee Stadium. A new stadium is in the works and scheduled to open in the same area for the 2009 season.
