Visiting Yankee Stadium was definitely the highlight of the trip for Derek. Even how we got into the stadium was entertaining. We got lost in the city, easy to do, and were delayed arriving at the stadium by almost 2 hours. We knew they stopped doing tours at 4 & we got there about 2:45. We arrive to find out that the last tour of the day was already sold out & they had already been turning people away for several hours. I immediately begin thinking of cash bribes I could offer because Derek was absolutely CRUSHED! We were leaving the next morning at 6:50am & they are only doing tours of the stadium for two more weeks before they tear it down. We basically told the lady that NOT going on the tour just didn't work for us. We were there from Texas & had to be on the tour...what could they do? She told us to stand at the front of the line. When she started letting everyone in the stadium, she took us up one ramp & had us pay her $20 cash each for sneaking us in! It was too funny...hiding around the corner...discreetly handing her cash...like we were some thugs doing drugs or something! ANYWAYS...we got in!!! And, that meant the rest of our trip was enjoyable since the husband was happy. He even got a little teary eyed during this part of the vacation. The only bad part of the tour, was that they would not let you take pics in the locker room...which was one of the coolest parts to see. But, they did let us go in & see it so that was cool.
I loved seeing the worn-out seats...everyone one of them was duct-taped together
