Report from the Bronx....
I have not been to a MLBB baseball since 1994...really. And I have not been to the Bronx since the late 80's.
The "new" Stadium is amazing, wide concourses, plenty of food courts, a Hard Rock Cafe built into it, a Yankee museum, helpful staff, game staff constantly sweeping and cleaning, no real lines at the food stands, TV sets all over the place, comfortable seats and lots of leg room, discreet restrooms (very clean).
A beer was $10 (20 oz), a slice of pepperoni pizza is $5 (same as Dodd), parking around the Stadium is $20. A home jersey with name on the back with the inaugural season shoulder patch is $200; without the patch--$125. There is a pic of some of the food prices. Ticket price for my seat was $55--section 233, main level in left field.
Very easy to walk around the stadium. The neighborhood is OK; our parking lot was on River Ave about 6 blocks down that brings you into Gate 6.
Yankees and Blue Jays both worn those red caps for the 4th of July, as are all MLBB teams.

Wow man, I can't believe you didn't ever go to the Yankees game for a LONG time. You really should plan to go there sometime soon in the near future.

I was really pissed about one of those player strikes back in the day which explains the self imposed exile, I used to go to 3-4 games up up Fenway very year usually catching a Yankee game there.
And then in '95 the Navigators opened up about 15 minutes from my home and that was that...
