Tickets are now on sale for the sixth annual SU Day, which will take place at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. Ticket are priced at $24 and up, depending on the location of the seats and amenities offered. You can view all ticket options online.
Gates open at 11 a.m. and game time is set for 1:05 p.m., when the New York Yankees take on the Minnesota Twins. A pre-game picnic is available at the Mike & Ike picnic area inside Gate 2. Picnic packages come with a field-level seat ($106). All tickets purchased on the Syracuse University site (through May 25) will come with a game day SU Yankees commemorative T-shirt.
“When I first proposed this idea in 2011, I never knew that it would be the beginning of a new SU tradition—a day at a NYC ballpark,” says event co-organizer Brian Spector ’78. “Now, six years later, it’s our turn again at Yankee Stadium to show our Orange pride.”
New this year is a chance to enjoy the game from the comfort of the Club Suite with indoor lounge and outdoor seating, along with an all-inclusive diverse menu and non-alcoholic beverages throughout the game.
As in previous years, there will be bus transportation provided from campus to the game. Buses will depart from Manley Field House at 6:30 a.m. bound for Yankee Stadium with a pickup/drop off in Binghamton. The roundtrip cost is $55 per seat and the bus should arrive back in Syracuse around 11 p.m. In addition, the Central New Jersey Alumni Club will run a bus from Princeton with a stop in New Brunswick ($35).
“I’m thrilled that SU Day 2016 will allow so many SU alumni, staff, family and friends to enjoy a day of early summer baseball together,” says Spector. “It’s been so much fun to work with SU staff to plan this annual event.”
