This was game 2 of our 3 game trip in 2010. This is a beautiful ballpark and a great place to watch a game. They recently did a remodel, and I was not there before that, so I cant compare. I can say that the concourses are roomy, it is a beautiful layout, and the site lines are great. One of the updates was that they added seats in the outfield and standing room space under the fountains (see below) called the pepsi party porch. It was 2 levels of standing room and being right under the fountains on a hot day is nice because you get the mist from them when they are on. This area was packed and anyone can hang there. There is not much to look at from the exterior view, but it is still a beautiful stadium. With the updates, it should be around a long time, and is a diamond in the rough.
The scoreboard here is very impressive. It has been recently updated with new video and is sharp. It is a lot bigger than it seems in pictures. I was pumped about seeing it, because it is a neat feature at the park, and it still blew away my expectations. The pics do not give it justice.
The statues here are nice and spread around the standing room area in the outfield. They are George Brett, Frank White, and Dick Howser.
We moved up to the third base line around the 8th inning here as well. This pic is at night and we chose Teixeira just for Beau (Shawn's wife). He is her favorite Yankee. You can see the quality of the scoreboard here.
The Yankees won 8-3, and A-Roid hit 3 A-bombs while going 4-5. We didn't get to see Mariano, because of the score, but did see Jeter and Jorge.
