Monique's Life #6 - Baseball Game

One of my dad's clients gave him tickets to yesterday's Yankees game against the Toronto Bluejays. So my parents and I made the trek to the Bronx to watch the game. If anyone has been to Yankee Stadium, you know the prices of everything are crazy over-priced. From food to souvenirs, it can really add up. So here are some things I learned yesterday that I hope you can learn from or find entertaining:

• Public transportation: From where I live, we have to cross the GWB ($13.00 toll) and then parking is around $30.00 or $40.00. So we took the bus into Manhattan and then the subway into the Bronx, which for three people in total was about $25.00. (My mom works in the city so she had cheaper bus passes!)
• Even though public transportation takes longer, it is DEFINITELY cheaper and you won't get stuck in car traffic over the bridge (if you're from the area, you know how bad it is).
• You can only bring in unopened bottles of non-alcoholic drinks. So repeat after me: DO NOT BUY BOTTLES OF WATER FOR $5.00. Such a waste!
• I'm not sure if there's any way to avoid the majorly over-priced food because A.) I love the food at baseball games and B.) ya gotta eat! But at least you'll have water! ^^^ (:

Enjoy the game!!
