I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for the Staten Island Yankees. I received tickets for the game as well as food vouchers to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for my participation.
I was invited to attend a Staten Island Yankee game with my family. Being from the Bronx and a huge New York Yankees fan I jumped at the opportunity. Born and raised in NYC I am embarrassed to say that I have never been to Staten Island. It was a great opportunity to experience Staten Island for the first time while watching one of my favorite sports.
We drove to the arena but is it super easy to get to by train or bus and ferry. The ferry is conveniently located right next to the stadium so it is super accessible to anyone in the NYC/NJ area.
As soon as I got to the stadium I saw how cute the stadium was. The outside screamed Staten Island Yankees and the fans scattered all over the front seemed super proud to represent their local team with jerseys, t-shirts and hats.
We quickly got our tickets at the will call window and were greeted and let in by the friendly stadium staff. We made our way to the bathroom which was super clean and then to the concession stand to get some lunch. Then off we went to our seats which I was very pleased about because we were so close to the action. Since the stadium is a lot smaller than your usual MLB game it looked like every seat was a great seat.
It was an exciting game as the SI Yankees were trailing almost the whole game. At the seventh inning the home team scored 5 runs! It was all over for the visiting team as the SI Yankees won the game 7 to 3.
I had a great experience and would definitely be coming to another game soon. I highly recommend experiencing a Yankee game as a family even for the littlest ones because they have entertainment in between each inning. From the dancing cheerleaders, funny fan games and the super awesome mascot Scooter, I was super entertained from start to finish.
Tickets are really affordable too! Use the code "mommy" when you purchase your tickets here for a great discount. http://bit.ly/1nViaer. Be sure to follow the Staten Island Yankees on Facebook or Twitter.

ReplyDeleteWe don't have baseball game here. If there's one, I think those are at schools. You're lucky to watch one
ReplyDeleteIt must be exciting seeing them play live. Baseball is not as common here but I sure would love to watch baseball live.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful stadium! I looks like everyone had a great time!
ReplyDeleteI love baseball, and it has been quite awhile since I've gone to a game. It looks like you all had a great time!
ReplyDelete" take me out to the ball game ... la la laaaala la laaa" Baseball isn't big in South Africa - but it beats cricket any day.
ReplyDeleteI've never been to Yankee stadium, but it's definitely on my list of places to go!
ReplyDeleteMe too, I would love to go see a Yankee game.
DeleteMy cousin is a BIG Yankees fan and I even met A-Rod here in Baltimore a few years ago (like 3 or 4). She is also from the Bronx - CO-OP City, Section 5. We had some fun times. Looks like you enjoyed the game.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a baseball fan but this looks like you had a blast! My boys love going with my hubs to games!
ReplyDeleteI have not been to a game in years! I really want to go though! Its always a blast!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like fun! I've never been to New York...its on my bucket list!
ReplyDeleteNo, I haven't been to any games before. Looks like you had an awesome time.
ReplyDeleteSadly, I haven't been to a baseball game outside of little league. I would love a chance to go and cheer!
ReplyDeleteWe've been talking about going to a game all year and still haven't gotten around to it. I love to watch live. Looks like you had a nice time. :)
ReplyDeleteExciting! We used to go to the farm team games... a fun (and very cheap) way to spend an evening out!
ReplyDeleteI miss baseball. Our team moved away years ago but I have seen the Blue Jays and Red Sox in their respective stadiums. it's a great experience I recommend to anyone.
ReplyDeleteI always find baseball very interesting to watch. That was such a nice game. It's a good family bonding activity.
ReplyDeleteWe go to minor league baseball games all the time. We all have a great time. Love the freebies they hand out and the fun fireworks at the end.
ReplyDeleteThat looks really fun. I love the Yankees. My hubby is from NY, so it is a must for us to watch the games.
ReplyDeleteLove me some baseball this time of year! Such a great family tradition as well to do together. Looks like you had a great time. :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a wonderful time. I have never been to a game like this before, I would be a lot of fun I would think. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a lot of fun...I have never been to a stadium before,but the husband keep saying we should go to a game, so hopefully we can go soon:)
ReplyDeleteThat looks like fun. I never had the chance to go to an open field stadium yet hehe
ReplyDeleteThe minor league games can be just as exciting! What a great day!
ReplyDeleteWe love going to baseball games as well, it's always so much more fun to see a game in person than say watching it on TV.
ReplyDeleteI think minor league games are probably more fun than major leagues. They love to get the crowd going!
ReplyDeletei havent been to a huge arena like this! i would be amaze if ever
ReplyDeleteWOW! What a fun time. Yes I've been to minor league games and always love them! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThough I am a Mets fan (insert joke here) I am a baseball fan and believe in the minor league farm system of any team. Sounds like you had a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteI've never been to New York myself. I don't really go to sports events either. Looks like you had fun though!
ReplyDeleteI love spending fun time with my family at such events and games... its so much fun to be together
