The new stadium is beautiful. You and your father will have a wonderful time. There is not a bad seat in the house.

You don't want to stay in the city.

Get a room in NJ and ride the train back and forth.

Any hotel recommendations in NJ? How long does it take to ride train to the game, my father is still mobile but tires out quick.Some of my friends who are not New York natives say to stay in Manhattan

Hotels in Manhattan are $200/night and up.

The train ride from Jersey is less than one hour each way.

Splurge a bit stay in the city
Who the hell wants to stay an hour away in New Jersey

If you can get a room in Manhattan for 200....jump all over it.

I doubt the places in jersey that you would consider staying are going to be that less expensive than in the city someplace. expect to pay 200-250 a night at a decent place, but not luxury. taking the subway is easy on and off at the stadium especially since I think that those games are weeknights.

There is a substantial price difference.

when you consider quality along with access to a train or ferry there really isn't.

Dave, as far as I know , there is no train from NJ to Yankee Stadium. If these guys were in Secaucus, or Edison or Newark, the train would take them into Penn Station 34th street and 8th avenue in Manhattan. From there they would still have a bit of distance and time to make it via subway to the Bronx.

Hoboken or Jersey City, path train to 33rd and 6th ave. same issue as with Penn station. Plus remember they want to take in some sights of the city. Being out in Jersey ain't gonna really help with that.

If sight seeing in the city weren't on the agenda I would just advise them to stick themselves in some hotel north of the city and ride the metronorth in and out of the stadium.
