Pure baseball heaven. The Shrine at 161st is a must see for the baseball fan. Out of my top 5 parks I put Yankee Stadium 1st with Wrigley a close 2nd. The fans are the best in baseball, even those bleacher creatures who I enjoy sitting with for only 8 bucks. The neighborhood has gotten much better for 1st time visitors. Take the #4 train from the city (Manhattan) or the D. If you love beer at a ball game drink before you go in if you have bleacher seats. And take the monuments tour before the ballgame, it's available once the gates open up. Overall, enjoy being at Babe's house.
Pros: The Yankees, The seats, The neighborhood
Cons: Red Sox fans, no beer in bleachers
