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.

Don't sit in the bleachers. You very likely will be mocked and scorned there.

Don't cheer too loudly for your team.

Everything is expensive compared to other ballparks.

If you're driving, park in the lots on exits 4-6. It's easier to leave the stadium that way.

And expect the Yanks to win. They have to turn it around sometime.

worst team in 10 years for the yanks...don't expect a turnaround soon.

Wear an "I heart you Derek" tee shirt.
