Hello all,
For our Gotham experts, I have a few questions. I am bringing my sons and my camera to Yankee Stadium next month for an afternoon game against the Tribe (yes, we have bleacher tickets, no you won't be able to tell we're Tribe fans...I've spent enough Sundays in the Dawg Pound to know not to make the mistake of not going neutral - in fact I might even wear a Yanks hat if my head doesn't self combust from that trauma). I work for an airline, so we'll be heading into either LaGuardia or Newark that morning and returning home after the game. For those of you unfamiliar with airline employee flight benefits, just know that you travel standby, which when translated into English sometimes means "Stand and wave goodbye at the flight you wanted to take." With that in mind, I can't predict this far out which airport we will use, it might even be a different airport for each leg of the journey.
My questions are these:
What is the most efficient way to get from LGA to Yankee Stadium and more importantly, the best way to get back to the airport after an afternoon game?
Next, same question but use the Newark Airport.
My youngsters (ages 10, 14, 15) have not been sheltered too much from filthy language...so I'm not too worried about them hearing bad words in the Yankee Stadium bleachers. However, if there comes a point where I would prefer not to have a 10 year old in that environment (assuming the game is not a sellout - weekday afternoon in May), can we leave the bleachers and find somewhere to sit in the boonies of the upper/lower deck?
Finally, with bleacher tickets can we check out Monument Valley and the main grandstand during batting practice or are we limited to the bleacher area only?
Long live Yankee Stadium and other structures like it in this country. We're tearing it down so corporate turd buglars can have luxury this and that accomodations at sporting events that they won't even watch. My deepest sympathies to the loyal fans of the hated Yankees, you have earned a better treatment than this!!
