On WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 24TH Matt and I went to see the Yankees take on Oakland Athletics. It was an absolutely breathtaking view. The nice part about working for the City is that I got special discounts to Broadway performances and athletic games. The only catch is that the seating is not the best. However, Matt and I still managed to enjoy ourselves, grabbing dinner at a local deli outside the stadium (a note of caution to the visiting Yankee enthusiast, everything is WAY more expensive inside the stadium. Why, you may ask. The answer: simply because they can. Thus, if you really desire a Yankees ball cap to wear during the game, like myself, there are plenty of shops right next to the stadium that are much more affordable). Not going to lie, I was a little nervous going to Yankee Stadium after the earthquake. For anyone who was following the news, the concrete testers responsible for the construction of Yankee Stadium, along with other buildings around the city and the Lincoln Tunnel, were indited by the District Attorney for not properly conducting the testing, and pocketing the subsequent profits for their negligence. Good news is that all the buildings should allegedly be good for the next ten. All I can say is that I went, I saw, and I had a great time.
