Inside the Park:
You might want to check out some unique spots in and around the stadium prior to game time. One is Monument Park - Located in Center field – an open-air museum honoring former Yankee greats with plaques, monuments and retired numbers, and accessible until 45 minutes prior to game time. Another is the Yankees Museum located on the Main Level near Gate 6 - it's 6,000 square feet of permanent and rotating exhibits commemorating the history of the New York Yankees.
There’s also the Great Hall and Babe Ruth Plaza - a large concourse between Gates 4 and 6. The Great Hall features numerous concessions and huge double-sided banners of 20 former Yankees. Enter through the Great Hall, and you're greeted by an impressive gigantic video board.
New to 2012: an exhibit named "Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig: Baseball's Hardest-Hitting Teammates." The installation includes game-used memorabilia spanning from the first game at Yankee Stadium in 1923 - including the bat used by Babe Ruth for his Opening Day home run - to Gehrig's final season in '39.
Food and Drink:
There are a few restaurants inside the stadium that are open to all ticket holders – we recommend NYY Steak for some upscale dining. It’s located above the Hard Rock Café inside Gate 6. Tickets are required for entry on game day and reservations recommended. There’s also a couple NYY Steak Express stands serving things like prime beef steak sandwiches near Sections 109 and 222.
The stadium also has some other decent food stands – stop by any Brother Jimmy’s BBQ stand for some pulled pork and a frickle, a deep fried pickle. You’ll find great cheesesteaks at Carl’s Steak’s (Sections 107, 223, 311), and at Lobel’s of New York (Sec 134) you’ll find Prime Beef sandwiches carved to order. Known for their choice meats, there’s a big window to watch butchers prepare meats, and it will definitely be money well spent.
For a healthier option, check out Noodle Bowl and Sushi Stand near Section 127, or Melissa’s Fresh Market near Gate 4. For the kids – there’s a kids cart near Gate 2 serving PB&J and Nathan’s Hot Dogs.
Beers of the World stands can be found throughout serving a wide variety of great imports and domestic brews. The Malibu Terrace deck has a full bar and grilled food and is located above gate 6 on the Terrace/Grandstand level. It closes at the end of the seventh inning.
The Budweiser Hall of Fame Lounge is available on an individual game basis for private parties and gives you access to the gourmet food available at the Audi Yankees Club and has a private bar. If you have a party of at least 20, it’s worth checking out. Mohegan Sun Sports Bar is also available for annual passes as well as individual game tickets and offers a great view from center field. For more info call Yankees Ticket Department at 718-293-6000 for both spots.
