But, I was determined to get there this year to say goodbye to the Stadium and I was lucky to have a friend of a friend with an extra ticket. Gonna take lotsa pix, buy lotsa beer (not driving, just need to stumble onto the train without falling into the platform gap), bellow the bleacher creature roll call, rub the Bambino's monument for luck, everything I can pack into one last trip. The new stadium will be only a few hundred feet away, I guess, but it will never be the same as old Yankee Stadium.

Have a great time, I plan on going a few times this year as well. I'm only about an hour tho.
