can someone please comment about backpacks in the stadium?!?!

Does anybody know if you are allow backpack inside the stadium? My daughter wants to bring a NYR blanket with her.

I've had bad experiences trying to get into Yankee stadium with a backpack. Last time, they made me go to a bowling alley around the block and check my bag. Didn't cost much, but it was a pain and I missed a bit of the game.

I'd just carry the blanket in personally.

Did anyone have any problems bringing in an SLR camera

I didn't bring one personally but I saw several people with one.

What group is going on Saturday? Rangers STHs are going on February 7th. The Yankees are also renting out the rink to groups

You can bring backpacks. Generally going to Yankees games they quickly tell you to open your backpack. You are allowed to bring food and "sealed" water bottles but they don't inspect that diligently. On Sunday they did not even check my backpack or anyone else's from what I saw. They did not pat or wand anyone down. Wondering if it has to do with the weather.

On the WFAN updates they are saying that the NHL is recommending that people bring blankets . Sounds like they are going to be more lax than usual.

Yeah, that happened to me at a few Yankees' games last year too - particularly Mo's last game where everybody was trying to send pictures and videos. I guess it's just too many people in one area and even large providers like Verizon can't handle it.

But they have no problem increasing their capacity at Giants Stadium on Sunday, yet 2 sold out hockey games at Yankee Stadium they couldn't be bothered.....

Bleachers are now $35

 

[GordonGecko]

prices down to $34 bleachers. I imagine people won't be able to give those away tonight

IMO the best deal right now is Terrace 329, row 2 for $107:

The Skate on the 7th at Yankee stadium is for season subscribers. The Rangers frown on them being resold because an incident occurred I believe 3 or 4 years ago which almost forced the Rangers to scrap the garden skate. It was cancelled one year at the last minute.

If you want a frame, you can have a replica made of your ticket for $8. http://www.thatsmyticket.com/hnss14.html

Thanks so much for that link. I think i'm ok. I had my ticket, the thank you card that the Rangers sent with the tickets & a collage of pictures from the day framed. It came out very nice.

As far as her folded ticket that will stay with my collection of game tickets that remain in my file cabinet that have no actual value except to me.

I brought a million layers to work to change into, but just realized I forgot extra socks, ****! How bad does everyone think the wind is going to be in the Grandstand? I'm in 422. I can deal with cold, but wind is a killer..

I wore one pair of heavy socks with fur lined water proof boots. By the end of the second period my feet were cold. by early 3rd period they were freezing & I was in sec. 210. You should try to grab a pack of socks.

Blankets are fine. Bring the blanket not the backpack. Or if you must bring a back pack it must be a clear one.

 

[Baby Punisher]

apparently in alaska they tell you not to chill your vodka outside because the freezing point is so low at -16. When you drink it that cold it can kill you

I can think of worse way's to go

How was parking on Sunday?

Same as a Yankee game? Better? Worse?

Terrible.

i was in 421.
i doubled up on socks and wore waterproof boots.
my feet were ****ing freezing. i needed to walk around during intermissions and jump and ****.
hopefully the rangers score 7 more goals and you'll be able to scream and jump a lot.

Just left the game, WOW what an experience, such a great venue, the atmosphere was amazing...outside of the first period the best hockey game I've ever been too.
