With Derek Jeter’s career coming to an end, the Yankees announced this morning that they will open the gates early next week for their final home series of the season:
Yankee Stadium gates will open at 4pm to all ticketed fans on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday vs. the Orioles.

The early gate openings will give ticketed fans opportunity to watch #Yankees BP during the team's final home series of the regular season.

Gates will open at 11am for Wednesday's game vs. the Orioles as the #Yankees are not scheduled to take batting practice prior to the game.

This isn’t all out of the goodness of the Yankees’ hearts, as they’ll surely make a pretty penny on concessions by opening the gates early, but it’s still cool if you want to see as much Jeter as possible before he’s gone.
