New York is a place where everything is possible, so don´t worry if your tastes are on the sport vein, here we will tell you about places you must visit and what are the major sporting events not to be missed at this time of year.
A sport that new yorkers do not missis baseball and the most popular team is the Yankees, therefore, any sport lover who visits this city must visit its stadium know its iconography in the Bronx neighborhood . Located at one east 161 Street, since 1923 is part of the life of the city, which is why there is a tour with bilingual guides to help you visit its facilities. There you may see the big Yankee stadium and buy souvenirs in their stores. But the best thing is to go to one of their games, since there is where the passion of baseball lives, and you can feel the pulse of the city. Tickets are sold at the ticket office at the stadium during the whole week, but if you go on the day of the game the box office opens two hours before the match begins. The price of the ticket varies according to location in the stadium and its prices begin at the $10. The season for this sport is spring.
Basketball is another of the great passions of new yorkers. If you don´t believe it go to any neighborhood of the city and you will always find a basketball court where you can shoot a few balls. Even the National Basketball Association, more commonly known as NBA, was founded in New York in 1946. The season of this sport starts in November and ends with the Finals in June. The team that moves the passions of this city are the Knicks from New York, founded in the 1940s who are as well known as the famous Madison Square Garden stadium. Tickets to see a game can be bought on the Internet and their prices range from 31 euros per person to more than 1000 euros, it all depends on the location in the stadium, the season and against who they play .
But if your taste is football, be warned that when new yorkers talk about football they are talking about another sport, not the one where rough play and violence is forbidden, that one is called soccer and New Yorkers are not very interested in it . So if you want to live the passion of football, this harsh game of large ugly sweaty and strong men, that confront body to body trying to reach two large parallel poles with a melon shaped ball, there are two teams representing the sensitivities of the city: the New York Giants and New York Jets. They both share the same stadium in New Jersey. Season starts in the autumn and ends in February. Tickets cost between 18 and 28 dollars per person.
January in apartments in New york is the maximum that you can give to the nomadic spirit of a cosmopolitan. So rent in time and don´t miss the best season of basketball in the most cosmopolitan city in the world.
