I didn't have tickets but I walked around the area during the game and took pictures. Here are a couple of favorites...
As the first pitch of Game 2 is thrown (see the flat-screen TV), fans wait outside the ticket sales window hoping the Yankees will make more tickets available.

Meanwhile, in a laundromat a couple of blocks away from the stadium (Super Laundry Of Ogden, 96 W. 162nd Street, near Ogden Avenue), a man watches the game on TV.
