A Slideshow Look at the First Ever Game at the New Yankee Stadium

It didn't feel like Yankee Stadium.

Emerging from the steps that connect the D train to River Ave., I wanted to go left, but the crowds ushered me right - across the street to the new ballpark.

Waiting on the massive line near Gate 6, I gazed up at the colossal exterior and snapped pictures like the thousands surrounding me.

In 50 years, I'd tell my grandchildren how I attended the first ever game at the new Yankee Stadium.

I'd leave out the part about it being an exhibition.
