Baseball trip 2008!



As promised, Ryan and I are organizing a New York Baseball trip this fall. Because it is the last season for both Yankee and Shea Stadium we had to pick a weekend that would work for both teams to be in town. Luckily for us, Philadephia also happens to be in town that weekend and has a Friday night game. Our plan is to roadtrip out of Michigan Thursday night to get to Philadelphia by morning and in time to do some sleeping and site seeing. The game is at 7pm and is vs. the Brewers. The cheapest tickets we saw on StubHub were around $25-$30. The next day we'd trek out to New York for an afternoon Mets game against the Atlanta Braves. The ticket costs that we found were around $17-$20 for the cheapest available. The last stop would be at Yankee Stadium on Sunday the 14th for a 1pm game vs. the Tampa Bay Rays. Amazingly bleacher tickets at Yankee Stadium were $11. (However, there were some available for $3412 in case anyone REALLY wanted the Yankee Stadium experience!) We'd leave after the game on Sunday to drive back to Michigan. Although September is a ways a way, we figured that we better post now to feel out interest in going since tickets for the games will sell fast. If anyone is interested in going with us, we'd like to know by January 14 so we can order tickets and make sure that everyone who wants to go has a seat. Also, if people would like to go to one or two games and not all of them, let us know which ones work out and we can take care of coordinating ticket purchases.

Comments:
Just realize that there are no parking lots at Yankee stadium, it's street parking in the Bronx, especially with construction on the new stadium. Pubic transportation is the recommendation for the Yankees game.
Also, keep us up to date on where everyone wants to stay. We can help guide to better locations (aka safer).
