Yankee Stadium open to fans for Game 3 of ALCS

Yankee Stadium won't be the site of Game 3 of the American League Championship Series on Monday. The Yankees announced on Sunday that they will open the Stadium Field Level and Great Hall to the public to watch the Yankees face the Angels in Anaheim. "We wanted to provide a place for our fans to come together to cheer for our team, even if the game itself is taking place across the country," Yankees managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner said in a relieve.

Turnstiles between Gates 4 and 6 will open at 3:30 p.m. for the 4:13 p.m. game and fans can watch it in the Great Hall or in the open sections of the Field Level. The decision to open the stadium was made after consultation with Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. "I thank the New York Yankees for opening their amazing new stadium to the community, and I hope that people from all over the city will come out to cheer for the Yankees and share in what's sure to be a great night right here in the Bronx," Said he.
