Hotels for Yankee Stadium Pregame Tour

A pregame tour is a chance to walk the ground before the crowds arrive, taking in the dugout, the field level and the areas normally off-limits on a matchday. It runs on a midweek afternoon, so the pace is unhurried compared with the noise and rush of a night game. Baseball families, groups of friends and out-of-towners fitting in some sightseeing tend to make up the bulk of the group. Expect a guide walking you through the history and routines of the ballclub rather than any live action.

The home of the New York Yankees, Yankee Stadium is one of the most storied venues in American sport, hosting baseball, occasional football and stadium concerts in the South Bronx. The surrounding area is busy and local, with Manhattan a short subway ride to the south. The 4, B and D subway lines stop right by the ballpark at 161st Street. Staying in Manhattan keeps the city's dining and nightlife close while leaving a quick, direct subway journey up to the game or show.
