Fans in the bleachers will have access to the rest of the stadium

The obstructed views are prevalent in the bleachers, but at least they will have access to the rest of the new Yankee Stadium.

According to an article by Neil Best of Newsday, at least one aspect of the bleacher seats in the new stadium will be an upgrade. In the past, if you purchased bleacher tickets, you were confined to the alcohol-free zone in the outfield, with limited concessions. Now, for the $12 admission, you can roam freely around the new stadium. This definitely makes bleacher tickets even more valuable.

Out of hundreds of games I attended at the old Yankee Stadium, only a handful were in the bleachers. I just couldn't stand being confined to the crappy views and crappy concessions that the bleachers offered. When I go to a ballgame, I like to move around, check out the views from other seats and try out different stadium concessions The old bleachers did not allow that, but the new ones do. At least the Yankees got one thing right.
