A few friends and I will be visiting the Bronx at the end of the month to see our Detroit Tigers play their final series in Yankee Stadium. I'd like to ask for any recommendations for sections to sit (not the real expensive seats) and area motels to stay. We're young college age guys without much cash to spend. If it's wiser to stay in an area away from the stadium and take the subway in, please give advice.
This is the last season at Yankee Stadium (as you probably know) so get tickets wherever you can. Good (not even great) seats are expensive. You can try ebay for season ticket holders selling the tickets they don't plan to use. Sometimes you can get a deal.
That area of the bronx is not really where you want to stay as a tourst. The stadium is accessible by subway; better to stay elsewhere. Do a search on this travel forum Americas - United States of America - Thorn Tree Travel Forum - Lonely Planet
I'm sure this question has been answered there before. This is also a good place for recommendations on where to stay.
Have fun.

As an FYI, bleachers are the cheapest but they are actual bleachers (unlike some other stadiums) and there is not alcohol in that area. Not sure if that matters to you but it could be a bad surprise if it does. Also, bleachers enter into their own enterance and they are not part of the actual stadium. You cant walk to another area from there.
Have a great time.
I just returned from NYC and I attended a Yankee game.We got our tickets through Ticketmaster for $5 they have some type of deal for the Tier level Tues-Thurs.We took the subway there I would not recommend staying near the stadium.Search around for other areas closer to Manhattan and take the subway in.
It sure is. The last time I recall tickets being 5 bucks was when Dimaggio's father was playing.
Don't stay anywhere near the stadium. Stay at a decent hotel in the city and take the number 4 train up to the stadium. Another option is the D. They both stop there. A city hotel will cost you but it doesn't sound like you'll be there for all that much time. If I had a choice between the "Stadium Motor Inn" and sleeping on a barge in the Hudson and then swimming to the game, I'd take the barge.
I wouldn't sit in the bleachers. Too much moron behavior. And lay off the "Yankees S--k" stuff. I'm not saying you would do that, but we don't take kindly too it.
Be polite, my friend, and you shall be welcomed to the house that Ruth Built.
they also do the 5 dollar deals at the stadium that really are 5 dollars
however they do this only for certain games like when they play tampa- theres no way they will be doing this for detroit
