According to our 2010 Yankee Stadium attendance tracker (just updated!), the Yankees have set the New Yankee Stadium regular season attendance record by drawing 49,293 for today's ring day showdown with the Angels. The previous record was 48,809 for a penant race showdown with the Red Sox on September 26, 200.
The bad news? The team has still still yet to draw 50,000 fans (except for during playoff games) - a side-effect of being unable to move the high priced Legends Suites.
As we mentioned a few weeks back, the Yankees put standing room only tickets on sale for 2010, paving the way for the attendance record. We expect this record to stand for most of the regular season, perhaps being broken when the Sox visit in late September.
