Yankee Stadium (#6)

Rangers vs. Yankees
Yankees Win 5-1


A chilly Thursday evening drew a small crowd for the defending World Series Champions. The fans that did attend the game were very excited and into what was going on down on the field, especially considering it was a rather uneventful game. Some of them were loud and obnoxious, one to the point where a woman seated in front of him decided to toss a beer in his face. While she was escorted by security out of the stadium, she received several less than kind words from the people around her.
The stadium as whole is neat, but does not give the appearance of being an old stadium. Whether or not that is a good or bad thing is hard to tell. The jumbotron and scoreboard in the outfield help make the key details of the game available to fans no matter where they are sitting. There must be some sort of tradition or long-standing heritage with the PA announcer, because he gave no tones of excitement when announcing the Yankee players.
