[2] The Cyclones and SI Yankees play in nice facilities, you should check them out.

[6] I’ve been to a few Thunder games; not bad, though the area could be better.

i’ve been to staten island, but never past the ferry terminal. the ferry ride is a great thing to do with out of town guests. a stunning view of lower manhattan and a good view of the statue of liberty. and it is free. i highly recommend it.

I used to live in Trenton. I liked it. Long way to go for a game, though, if you live in Brooklyn.

how Staten Island got it’s name:

Two members of Henry Hudson’s crew, Saul and Herb, stand on the tip of Manhattan Island.

Saul says, “I hate dis place. No Knishes. No Kuegle. Feh. Island paradise it’s not.”

Herb points to the distance at another body of land, “Vanna try dat one Island over dere? Could be better.”

Sauls grimaces to see through the haze, “What? S’ dat an Island?”

Ba-bumbum.

I picked up tickets for two games that cost me $5 each (the Yankees have a few very nice promotions). Now, they are midweek games against Oakland and Toronto, but if the point is to see a game, what difference does it make. Also, if you browse StubHub during the season, you can regularly find tickets below face value right now.

Going to see the Yankees is not as expensive as many make it out to be.

[0] Still, I always read books and articles where people talk about just walking up to the Stadium and paying a few bucks for a ticket and heading inside, back in the day, and feel a twinge.

I was did this more than a couple of times in college back in the early 90s, including a spur of the moment decision to go to opening day one year!

I’ve never been to those minor league parks. Sounds like fun.

“Affordable” means different things to different people, but I’ve always felt the amount of under-$30 seats at the stadium was more than enough, especially when you consider the market and the team.

Me and 2 other friends have a 12 game plan in the bleachers, its not 81 games behind home plate but we enjoy it.

And I definitely wanna head out to Brooklyn and Staten Island this year.
