Last night John, Nathaniel and I headed into the Bronx to see the Yankees game. It was our first time to the New Yankee Stadium and it was so cool. We walked in and the first thing we all said was "WOW!".
It's so airy and bright when the sun was out, there were a lot of people, but it didn't feel too crowded. It felt clean and we were all happy with the results.
Here's a shot of us at our seats. They were high up, but we had a great view of the field. It was a fun game and we even got to see Jorge Posada hit a homerun right at the end. Nathaniel did an awesome Home Run Dance:The guys behind us thought Nathaniel was such an awesome fan. He was really into the game and when something good happened they liked giving him high-fives and cheering together. It was pretty cool.
For me, the let-down was the food. They didn't offer a veggie burger or really any veggie option outside of cheese pizza or a soft pretzel. I didn't see anything green or even resembling a vegetable except for the salsa on the nachos. And yet they had Compost bins next to the trash and recycling. I didn't see anyone actually put anything into the compost bin (not sure what they'd be composting), but it was an interesting addition.

Wow! It's really cool that you got to see the new stadium. The outside wall is pretty unbelievable in that photo. And it's a downer about the veggie stuff. Mark and I are hoping the Twins take a hint from the Chicago White Sox--of all teams--and get it together with their new stadium to offer a veggie dog at the concessions.
OK - I must have missed this when I was there: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/29/nyregion/29farmers.html?hp
