Baseball in New York

New York Yankees
- The New York Yankees are the most famous baseball team in the world. Wherever you travel, you’ll spot someone wearing a Yankees cap or shirt with the iconic NY logo.
- The team plays in the Bronx at Yankee Stadium, an arena with over 50,000 seats that comes alive on game nights.
- You’ll feel the energy when the crowd chants the team’s slogan: “Let’s go Yankees!” Tip: grab a hot dog and a soda, and soak in the atmosphere.
Tickets for a New York Yankees Game
- Book your New York Yankees tickets in advance before you arrive.
- Tickets are affordable, with entry-level seats starting around $10. It’s a great way to experience this beloved New York sport and discover the electric energy of Yankee Stadium.
New York Mets
- Founded in 1962, the New York Mets are the other major baseball team in New York.
- Since 2009, the team has played at Citi Field, a 45,000-seat stadium in Queens near Flushing Meadows. The atmosphere is more laid-back than at Yankee Stadium but equally spirited and fun.
- Citi Field is farther from central Manhattan, which gives you a chance to explore a less touristy side of New York.
