I'm not a Yankees fan but I always liked going to the Stadium. I am a Mets fan, but Shea is a real hole compared to Yankee Stadium.
In 1986, my high school marching band got to play the national anthem for opening day at Yankee Stadium. I played trombone in the band. It was really cool, the outfield had the nicest grass I'd ever been on. I had never done anything in front of 50,000 people before. We got to watch the game from the bleachers.
The previous year we got to play our halftime show at a Jets game at Shea, and the biggest memory I have of that was the creaky temporary seats we watched the game on waiting for halftime. I think they made us leave after we finished the halftime show which sucked.
