The Statue Of Liberty And My First MLS Game - 20th August 2016

 Day 3 of my New York Adventure.

Breakfast at McDonald's Times Square.

Metro cards bought ready to go on the subway.

Waiting for the subway train (line 1).  I found the journey very entertaining and funny as I had people singing in my carriage!

We rode the subway all the way to Lower Manhattan. Can you see One World Trade Center?

I really enjoyed looking at all these planet earth sculptures.

Next onto the sight seeing ferry boat, to visit this very famous lady!

The Statue of Liberty.

Looking back at Manhattan from Liberty Island.

Can you see all the rain clouds?  It is very hot and humid, and we were about to have a quick rain storm.

Here's the ferry boat that takes you across New York harbour.

Listening to all the amazing facts about the Statue of Liberty.

 

I know lots of history and facts to share with you now.

Back on the ferry boat.

A quick look at the World Trade Center complex, we are coming back later on in our trip.

Remembering 9/11.

A real life NY fire engine and firemen.
This fire station is just ten steps away from where the South tower of the Original World Trade Center once stood

Now back on the subway to Yankee Stadium, to watch New York City vs LA Galaxy.

My first view of the stadium.  The subway journey was very busy but lots of fun with all the MLS fans.

I'm so excited.

Shopping done, all ready for the match now!

My first view of the pitch.

We are in the field section 108.

Ready for the match.

Do you like my new shirt and cap?

The stadium is filling up for the 3:30 kick off.

The players are getting ready.  Hello Steven Gerrard.

Enjoying match snacks.

There is a great atmosphere coming from the crowd beneath the Yankee Stadium sign and big screen.

Here come the teams.

Ready for the National Anthem.

The NY band are playing from the bleacher benches.

Steven Gerrard.

Frank Lampard.

Robbie Keane.

David Villa scored the one and only goal in the 6th minute.

But there were lots of chances from both teams.

I really enjoyed the match.

Such an amazing atmosphere and so much going on around the stadium.

Getting a telling off from the referee.

Frank Lampard being substituted.

The crowd were so energetic through the whole match!

The final score.

So many people had come to watch this man today.

That was great!

Taking lots of my own pictures.

I cannot wait for next week when I get to watch NY away in Orlando.

Wow, it's way too hot to wear this scarf!

Exiting the stadium with the other 35,509 supporters.

Back on the subway, still enjoying the great atmosphere.
