Now that you know who's playing it's time to think about attending an actual baseball game. We're blessed with two fine stadiums here in New York City—one's even better than just "fine," which we'll explain below—and inside them are many, many things to eat. While the standby peanuts, Cracker Jacks, hot dogs and giant, wallet-emptying glasses of beer are always good go-tos, each of our stadiums boast some unique options for dining. Below, our favorite spots to nosh at the ballpark. Of the two baseball palaces, Citi Field is leaps and bounds better than Yankee Stadium, especially when it comes to dining.
Not only does the stadium boast a lovely, walk-around, open-air dining area at the very tip top, it's also home to the most interesting eats that aren't just a plate of nachos. Anyone who's visited Citi Field knows there's Shake Shack there Skip that in favor of something you can't get anytime you want , like the new grilled cheese emporium Pressed by chef Josh Capon, the guy behind Lure Fishbar, Bowery Meat Company and other NYC restaurants.
If you simply must ingest a Danny Meyer-sanctioned food product, check out Blue Smoke for some game day barbecue. Big heroes with fresh mozzarella are the name of the game from Mama's of Corona , , where they'll fill you up just like an Italian mama. Drinks will include a classic citrus mojito, hibiscus lime cooler and baja margarita. Reservations are strongly suggested. Please call Sandwiches and drinks are available in an indoor setting that provides one of the most unique vantage points in sports Requires Mohegan Sun ticket or club membership.

Back then, stadiums were considered state of the art if they had a speed-pitch station. Now, they aren't state of the art unless they have a retractable roof Seattle, Milwaukee, Toronto , a Ferris wheel Detroit , a swimming pool Arizona , a kiddie sandlot San Diego , a microbrewery Denver , a hotel Toronto , an aquarium Tampa Bay , retail office space Texas and a year-round steakhouse San Francisco, New York.
In other words, stadiums have changed a lot. Who would have dreamed anyone would want to eat at a stadium when a game wasn't being played? How many ways can you prepare nachos? And for that matter, now that Dippin' Dots have been around for two decades, it's time to stop calling them "the ice cream of the future. Isn't that something that works pretty well already? And two, at this point, it's like calling soccer America's pro sport of the future. New York is a very late entrant to the new stadium wave, but the city is making a big splash this week by opening two new ballparks for the Yankees and the Mets.
It is enormous. Yankees executive Lonn Trost said there are , additional square feet of space in the new stadium. That's more than 11 acres, which is larger than Fenway Park. And it's not like the old Yankee Stadium was small, either. Why so big? First, the stadium needs to be large enough for CC Sabathia to fit inside. More importantly, it provides fans room to spread out comfortably and spend even more money.
The new Yankee Stadium is like a shopping mall with a ball field attached. Going to the concession stand at the old stadium was a claustrophobic experience, akin to Andy Dufresne squeezing through the sewer pipe.
No longer. The concourses are so wide, you need a cutoff man to reach the condiment stand. With all the extra space, bathrooms and concessions gee, who knew fans might want something more to eat than a hot dog?
If fans can afford tickets, that is. With prices like that, how can year-olds afford to sit there and interfere with fly balls anymore? You may notice that, unlike most major-league parks, nary a statue can be found outside the stadium.
Be aware, though, that Monument Park closes 45 minutes before the start of Yankees games, so get there early if seeing it is an important part of your Yankee Stadium experience. The prime seating areas near home plate and the dugouts at Yankee Stadium are known as Legends seats and rank as some of the most expensive in sports , though of course they come with plenty of perks.
From numerous terraces and party porches in the outfield, including one directly above Monument Park in center field, to a pair of party decks with bars on the level, there are quite a few socializing spots around Yankee Stadium for you to get out of your designated seating area and get a different vantage point on the game.
