Yankees Parade Route,Yankees Parade:What will be the Yankees Ticker-Tape Parade Route? And what day will be the Yankees Parade? The Canyon of Heroes is getting some visitors!
The Mayor’s spokesperson said in October “We always find a way to honor our teams but we don’t discuss plans beforehand”. The Yankees Parade route drew 3.5 million fans in 1996 and 1998.
New York’s last ticket-tape parade was the Giants in 2008. It cost $331,000 but nearly all was covered by NYC & Co.. It followed the same Canyon of Heroes route that dates back to at least the 1940s.
In 1999, the Yankees victory parade featured players on a double decker bus with Mariano Rivera, then World Series MVP, on his own float. Five city high bands played. Thereafter a private invite only event was held at City Hall to 5000 guests.
In 2000, the Yankees parade started at noon on a Monday. That year, NYC Transit advised passengers to avoid the numbered subway lines (West Side’s 2, 3, 1, and 9 and East Side’s 4, 5, and 6) due to crowds. The number 6 train was sent also to Bowling Green that year. NYC Transit suggested parade attendees to use the N,R, A, C and E trains also.
The 2009 Yankees Parade will be FRIDAY at 11 am EST. Stay with LALATE for live coverage of the parade.
