There are tours scheduled for days when there are night games. I'm not sure why there are no tours on those days.

Brian Danuff said...

I don't mean like a birthday "party" I meant like just bringing 3 of my closest friends to Yankee Stadium for a tour.

Brian Danuff said...

A birthday party is bringing 15 friends to Dave & Busters or SportTime and spending an hour or two there. A Yankee Stadium tour is like 45 minutes.

Liam Gallagher said...

I don't know what I want for my birthday.

I did this tour for the old stadium and it was awesome. Best 20 bucks I ever spent.

Liam Gallagher said...

It would be nice to go to one, but I live 2 hours away from the stadium. I'm not haveing my parents drive 4 hours for something for 45 min. Even if I knew how to drive I wouldn't drive that far.

I went to tour the old Stadium last April. It was awesome, but I wasn't able to see the clubhouse or lockeroom because it was still being cleared out, because the Pope had used the clubhouse and lockeroom for the Mass he had at the stadium.

My favorite bday party was last season at Yankee stadium. We got 16 tickets to a night game in august, brought a table and a keg, and played wiffle ball in the parking lot from noon till 7. Then after the game we still had some keg left and finished it off from 11 till 2.

Yes your arm hurts the next day after drunkenly pitching, even with a wiffle ball, after 7+ hours.
