Help from NYC people? (baseball talk, not card talk here)

Hey Everyone -

As most of you know, my daughter was born 6 weeks ago and I found out that I am losing my Job at the end of this month. My wife has been on Maternity leave since the middle of February so we have no income from her until she goes back in the middle of May. Explains why I have been selling so many of my cards and a little why I have been on EDGE lately...

as some of you may know as well, My wife bought me a dream Christmas present. 2 Box seats to a Yankees Game in the House that Ruth built against my home team the Seattle Mariners. We finally got the tickets and my wife decided that she had paid too much (300 total for 2 $55 dollar tickets) but were both happy that we were one step closer to doing something it has been my lifelong dream to do...

with recent job/money developments (in the past 2 weeks) we're not sure if we'll be able to make the game - Between airfare from Seattle and places to stay and transportation once in the city etc etc etc, it looks like a nightmare that may be financially out of reach

I'm posting here because I know we have some nice guys here who live in NYC (sorry upstaters!) and hopefully I can get some recommendations on how we could possibly do this cheaply as possible. We plan on bringing our 2 year old son and 2 month old daughter as well on the trip and to the game, so it's a logistics nightmare, but something that i want to do and i know my wife wants to make happen for me as well -

Anyone able to help with the best place to stay in the city for cheap? any recommendations? I really don't know what to do, and I have wanted to see a game in Yankee Stadium my entire life, but am not willing to put my family further into debt

any help is greatly appreciated!

thanks for listening!
