In about 24 hours from now I will be getting on the train out of Bayonne on my way home.  Wait...I thought you live in Bayonne you might ask.  Where I will be going is my home away from home.  That would be Yankee Stadium.

I'm looking forward to getting on the D train for the first time this season and making the stop at 161st street.  I can't wait to walk up the stairs out of the subway and look up at the grand stadium that brings me such joy.  I'm anxious to revisit the atmosphere outside of the stadium where everyone is making their way in or just admiring the view.

Getting your ticket scanned and stepping inside the stadium doors is one of the best feelings in the world.  Behind those doors is a group of fans looking forward to watching a talented group of baseball players take the field and win a game.

I love walking in the doors and looking down the grand hall and seeing the beautiful memorials of Yankee history.  It reminds me of how special it really is to be a fan of a great franchise.

I can't wait for the introduction of the teams in the pregame celebrations.  I'm especially looking forward to the first roll call of the season with the Bleacher Creatures.

Opening Day brings back a sense of comfort to me.  Sports to me are a good escape from the real world.  Baseball is one of my favorite sports and the Yankees are my team.  Being at Yankee Stadium is being in a comfort zone, and when those doors open tomorrow morning I will be able to say, "I'm home."
