The Kosher Stand in Yankee Stadium is also under the Vad Harabanim of Queens. It’s not worse to go to ball game than it is to go on a train in the summer when there are pretty bad pritzus on the train. So unless you take a taxi to work in the Summer which I heard Rabbi Shlomo Pearl quote I think it was R. Moshe Feinstein but I am not sure than there is no reason why you can’t attend a game if the pritzus problem is the only issue thats stopping you from attending. In general the best thing would be to not be a sports fan but the problem is it’s gets very addicting & hard to get out of & thats why I think at least one of the rabbonim who gave me a hetter to go gave me the hetter at least I am assuming that because that Rav always says in public we shouldn’t go to games.
