The New York Yankees, 27-Time World Series Champions, and likely the most simultaneously loved and hated team in baseball, return to Yankee Stadium with our Captain, Aaron Judge, pitcher Gerrit Cole and shortstop Anthony Volpe. There are few things in NYC better than a Yankee game, an old-fashioned hot dog and a beer.
Watch sports and movies on the 30-foot Big Screen at The Backyard at Hudson Yards. The summer line up is all kinds of sporting events, and Movie Nights will return mid-September.
