Game Day Atmosphere: Amazing anywhere you are in the city.  People are wearing Yankees attire just about everywhere you go. 
Stay: In Manhattan.  You don't want to stay in the Bronx unless you know someone and stay at their house.
View: The view of the Bronx is not very exciting, but you are in Yankee Stadium.
Arrive: Take one of the many subway trains to 161st street/Yankee Stadium.  Lots of people take the subway to get to the game and there are plenty of people to ask if you need directions.
Concessions: Disappointed with the food at Yankee Stadium.  Overpriced and not very good.  You can't go wrong with a Nathan's Famous hot dog though.
Not advertised: Arrive very early to visit Monument Park beyond Center Field.  Although the park stays open until 45 minutes prior to game time, plan on arriving at least an hour and a half prior to first pitch or you won't get in to visit Monument Park.
Not in the box score: At the very top of the 1st inning, watch and listen for the fans in right field.  They will chant the Yankee position players (except for pitcher and catcher) and continue chanting until the Yankee player acknowledges the fans.  Nick Swisher is quite a character in the outfield and usually does something unique for the fans.
Final Box: Oakland Athletics 4, New York Yankees 3
Attendance: 46,188 Time: 3:45
