The City that Never Sleeps

New York Yankees

The New York Yankees are either loved or hated. They are always talked about, and the sports media analyzes them frequently. I guess if you have had some success in the past, you can get people to talk about you. I do not get it though, they only have a few world series titles. They have like 26 or 27 world series titles, which is only over triple most other teams. For my next review, I will be ranking Yankee Stadium.

What You Should Know About Visiting Yankee Stadium
Yankee Stadium was built in 2009, so it is relatively new. I would say the stadium has a modern feel to it. One aspect they are missing is a roof. It is interesting that they decided not include a roof, especially when the Yankees are the MLB’s most valuable franchise. They are worth almost two billion dollars above the second most valuable franchise in the MLB .
One of my favorite parts of the stadium is that there is a sushi restaurant inside. Yes, a sushi restaurant!  Sushi is my favorite food. While you can probably guess it is not the highest quality sushi, it is still delicious and enjoyable. One of the menu items is a sushi burrito, which continues to grow in popularity. It is the size of the burrito but instead of a tortilla they use seaweed on the outside with rice attached to it on the inside. Along with the other restaurants, the sushi restaurant adds to the experience of going to a game.
One thing I dislike about Yankee stadium is the atmosphere. I do commend the fans for always being loud and supporting the team no matter what. However, I believe the fans can be crazy and annoying. A lot of them are disrespectful.
There is not anything special which is directly around the stadium, but it is still the state of New York. The Yankees are in the Bronx, so if there is nothing within a couple miles, you can always travel a bit further to other parts of New York. I would recommend going to the zoo in the Bronx if you have time. It is one of the biggest zoos in the country and within 30 minutes from the stadium.
Overall, I would rank Yankee Stadium a 7.8. If you are in the area or the drive is not too far, I would recommend going to a game. However, I would not make a special trip to see one. Also, it is not a must see stadium, so even if you are in the area and do not end up going, do not worry.

  1. I love the title and attention getter you utilized in this specific post. Your opinions added, help establish a connection between the writing and the reader. I also really like the way you empathized the important parts of your piece.

  2. Having a sushi restaurant in a baseball stadium is a very interesting choice that I don’t think I would eat at. I also think it was a good change of view to say that although the fans are supportive sometimes they’re disrespectful too.
