PARK Goes to the Ballpark in True Suite Style
Yankees hats have become synonymous with being a true New Yorker, so after being adopted by my current city, I decided it was time to take in a game at Yankee Stadium. Having only been to one baseball game – yes, ever – with the home team being one which shall not be named, I geared up for something similar: balls, bats, hot dogs and maybe even my very own hat. Let’s just say that I might have walked away with much more.
The scene was set as the sun shone and I could almost hear the ‘take me out to the ballgame’ tune while walking into Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. Sporting Yankee colors, all serendipitously unplanned of course, I was immediately struck by the enthusiasm that abounded, from the private suite corridors to the top of the stands. These fans always make sure to pay homage to their favorite players from the past, which is made possible with the stadium’s own museum and remains open to all visitors. Even I appreciated the rich legacy of this team which is as New York as New York itself.
Having the flexibility to watch the game comfortably from the two floors of the Legends Suite, while also getting to take in the experience with seats just a few rows behind the players, I am proud to say that I am their biggest fan – at least of the suite life! Featuring seafood selections, including lobster and fresh fish, to Mediterranean fare and even a Glatt kosher buffet, as well as a full delectable dessert area and snack wall with candy, popcorn and peanuts, this night out hit one very satisfying homerun. Ordering milkshakes, fries and other finger foods from our outdoor seats
was yet another authentic ballgame feeling that I could not miss out on. Even if the Yanks don’t win, you will have a winning experience – though they most likely will, of course. This is, after all, the home of the 27-time World Champions. See, I learned something!
The Delta SKY360° Suites Audi Club also offers indoor dining options and great views of the game. All of the suites were redesigned to ensure that the clean, elevated spaces made the field the main focal point. These intimate and sleek suites, which can accommodate from 16 to 100 guests is the most private and posh way to watch a game. Your suite is also designed for the ultimate guest interaction, with plush leather furnishings and sliding glass doors overlooking two rows of exterior cushioned suite seats.
While they certainly won me over, and yes, the Yankees took it home (hope that’s the right lingo!), the pride of this team was palpable. And as Mr. Sinatra would say, I wanted to be a part of it. I can safely say that if your friend, family member or significant other has not enjoyed a game from one of their suites, you will want to treat them to tickets this season.
