Sports New York City Events September
NYC is brimming with sports talent this year! Ready to see our NY Yankees Captain, Aaron Judge, hit homer after homer? Perhaps, you’d rather watch the Jets new QB, Aaron Rodgers, four-time MVP, bring it to MetLife Stadium. And let’s not forget last season’s breakout star, the NY Giants QB, Daniel Jones, aka “Danny Dimes” set record after record on the field.
Make sure to add a NYC Game Day to your NYC vacation – it’s an absolute MUST in NYC! For football fans, what could be better than watching the Giants and Jets in warm weather? Head to Yankee Stadium to grab a hot dog and cheer on the Yankees or NYCFC or head to baseball’s nicest stadium, Citi Field, to cheer on the Mets.
