Pre-Game Talk: Stadium Series: Pregame Festivities & Roll Call!!!

[3CupTrap]

Can you reccommend a good parking lot to tailgate in somewhat close to the stadium and what time do the lots open you think?

I'll be parking in the 151st st south lot it's only $18 and a 5-10min walk. The Harlem river lots are good if you plan on grilling. If $35 isn't an issue the roof of the river ave garage is a good spot. You can reserve parking and print out a pass at I believe it's baseballparking.com ( just google Yankee stadium parking to make sure). Lots will def be open by 8 mayb even sooner. Any other q's just post I know the area very well (used to go to 50+ gms a yr until steinbrenner corporate mall opened).

Parking lot?

$18?

Park on the UWS for free and take the 1-train for $2.50.

Don't think tailgating on a sidewalk in manhattan will go over too well. However a good idea for others park near the d or 4 train. 1 doesn't go to the stadium.

Is the D train a go for tomorrow? MTA site is calling it a "part time" stop.

Which lot will we encounter the most fans at? For a real tailgating experience?

No, but if you're parking on the west UWS you take the 1 to the 2,3 (or just take the 2,3 if you happen to be near 72nd or 96th) and switch to the 4.

Or, if you're parking on the east UWS, you take the B,D directly to Yankee Stadium.

Either way, screw paying $20 or $30 for parking.

Harlem river lots are the best tailgating scene just be prepared for alot of traffic afterwards.

Ok good point I'm not as familiar with 2/3 line. Couldn't agree more I only put it in a lot when I tailgate.

Setting a VCR? I feel like it's 1995 again. Havent done this in years.

What the hell is a VCR?

 

[Mory Schneideur*]

I know right, I just learned that little vodka bottles are called airplane bottles

 

[BenedictGomez]

It's amazing how quickly we forget crap.

 

[Mory Schneideur*]

Yeah, but you probably also never learned how to use the Dewey Decimal System.

Was taught early on but Google killed that long ago

 

[Wingman77]

Decent number of fans I've talked to are bringing a few beers to have in the lot then heading over to Stans

 

[CerebralGenesis]

What is the name of places i can leave my backpack at during the game? I recall that discussion happening before.

Are we not allowed to bring backpack or drawstring bags?

Getting up at 6:30 to be at my buddies house by 8. Breakfast, then we are getting to the stadium by the time the gates open bundled up like the kid in a Christmas Story.
