Sports Trip - NYC & Philly

[Engine09]

Just booked my flight and bought all my tickets. Right during that week when Baseball is starting up and the NHL is wrapping up the regular season.

Apr 1st - Rangers VS. Leafs - New York City, NY
Apr 3rd - Islanders VS. Rangers - Uniondale, NY
Apr 4th - Yankees VS. Devil Rays - New York, NY
Apr 4th - Knicks VS. 76ers - New York, NY
Apr 5th - Phillies VS. Braves - Philadelphia, PA
Apr 5th - Flyers VS. Devils - Philadelphia, PA



First time hitting Philadelphia, anyone have some advice? What to see besides the Liberty Bell/Constitution Hall?

It seems that you've double booked youself for the fifith. Don't worry, with that being my birthday and all I'd be willing to take 1 set of tickets off your hands.

Even though its only against the D-rays...I'm so jealous you get to see a game at Yankee Stadium.

Thats on my list of things to do before I die. I better hurry up before they build their new yard.

The Phillies game is in the afternoon, I'll have plenty of time to walk over to the Wachovia center for the evening Flyers game, looks like they're right next door to eachother.

Yankee Stadium is very cool, I caught a game against the Tigers a couple years old. The only other yards I've been to are SBC in San Fran and MacAfee in Oakland.

I'm actually most excited to see Nassau Colliseum, I hear that it's not much of a building in a horrible location but one of my first hockey memories was watching the Oilers on TV play the Islanders on that rink.

If I could ever score tickets to something like a Yankees - Red Sox playoff game, I would drop everything to go. Either Fenway or the Bronx...I would have to experience that.

Man, so many things I want to do. Only ever been to Skydome (Rogers Center) to see a game.

You're so lucky. Would do ANYTHIN to go see the Yankees play in NY......I see them at least twice a season when they come to Oakland/SF or even tvs he Angels/Dodgers, but I want to go watch em at home!

That and goin to Fenway......

Imagine going to a NYY/Red Sox game at Fenway...Im gonna do it one of these days!

Philly..Im not sure what there is to do but enjoy eating their Cheesesteak's and hoagie's!

A buddy of mine went to see the Mets play the Red Sox at Fenway during inter-league play a few years ago.. He said there were fights everywhere and ppl were throwin batteries at the outfielders lol. A total gong show from the sound of things!

Haha sounds like an Oakland Raiders game........................that is one scary place to be. You have to pretend you're goin for the Raiders even if you're not. Or else...
