In 1999 I went to a Red Sox game in Boston. Then it was $20 to park, but since I had a full size van, they wanted to charge me $40! They said it was due to it taking two spots. I responded, “maybe if you park it, but I’ll get it into one” The guy still wanted $40 so I told him to stick it and I parked elsewhere. I actually parked in a Burger King lot that charged $20. The guy there wasn’t happy to see me either but the sign said van parking. He said what I was driving wasn’t a van, it was “jeep” I said, “there are lots of Jeeps here so lets go.” I take the same van to the yankees and get charged the standard rate.

The parking is going to go up, but I feel pretty secure parking in those lots.

I heard rumors that it would be either $30 or $40 so this is actually a big relief. Although I take the subway anyways so it doesn’t matter much.

Relax fellow fans. This is the scene from Casablanca. Gambling?? I’m shocked, shocked!!!!” It’s the 21st Century, the Yankees just built a magnificent ballpark and there’s bitching about the parking prices–I’m shocked, shocked.

Thanks for the link for parking info. I did not know about the prepay opportunity. (My partial season tickets haven’t arrived yet.) I got a spot right across the street from the stadium. This should be a lot less stressful than hoping the lots don’t fill up (and being forced to park in the dreaded garage).

I’ll start thinking about going when the train station is completed.

….Another $19 I’ll save simply by watching the games on YES.

Parking one mile away is considered cheap at $50.00 for a space at Boston Field in Boston.

In what world did the old stadium not have blocked sightlines (even post renovations)?

I’ve been in philly for a few years not and as much as its not NY, parking for free in FDR park right next to the stadium where we can grill and play wiffle ball for hours before the game is great. Its about the only thing I’d trade for though.

fair enough Doreen, i wasn’t trying to pick on you. i’m just put off by the constant negativity on this site.

we can’t even wait until the FIRST GAME to complain?

last night, i was wathing Rags’ no hitter on YES. pretty crappy telecast. yet, the stadium is the same as it was last season.

surely there is technology that can make improvements.
