After a victory over the Royals, the Yankees are headed back to George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, which has been repurposed by the Rays following hurricane damage to their home stadium. Aaron Boone expressed excitement about the warm weather and new atmosphere, despite the team having to play as visitors. The field, now more favorable for hitters according to early season statistics, has undergone renovations, including color changes and signage that reflect the Rays' presence.
"I think we're excited to get off the plane in the middle of the night tonight into some warm air. That'll be fun."
"It'll be interesting going back. I'm curious, I've seen it on TV and it looks like a good environment and everything."
"Unfortunately, we've got to go on the visitors side but I'm sure it will be a little bit different, a little unique."
"Early season statistics show George M. Steinbrenner Field is more of a hitter's park."
