I went with a freind of mine, who is a Yankee fan, last year. They weren't playing the Sox. It was very annoying listening to a stadium full of people cheering for a team that you hate.

We sat in the upper deck where you ar elooking down at the field. Be very careful going down those stairs after a few beers.

What you should expect? Your A's to win.....

Bring lots of cash if you plan on drinking. Beers are like $7 or $8. Also, eat before you get there. The food is mediocre and also pretty expensive.

And don't get drunk and spill beer on anyone. They WILL start a fight (I learned that the hard way).

Driving there is horrible, horrible times if you're doing that. Yet I do it everytime. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

im taking the LIRR in and staying in brooklyn, but i can imagine driving would suck.

Don't drive. Take the train.

Don't wear A's gear. Otherwise, you're asking to get harassed/have things thrown at you.

just wear it. i have been at bruins/celtics and red sox games and had great conversations with the people sitting around me rooting for the other team. just dont be a jackass about it and you will be fine.

I think the point was not to wear an A's hat in Yankees Stadium.
