Yankees return to Yankee Stadium for six-game homestand

The New York Yankees will return home tonight for the first of six games at Yankee Stadium. The stretch of games will feature a three-game series vs. three-time All-Star Evan Longoria and the Tampa Bay Rays (Friday-Sunday, July 3-5) and a three-game set vs. the Oakland Athletics (Tuesday-Thursday, July 7-9).

Prior to tonight's 7:05 p.m. game vs. the Rays, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir will add a pregame set at Yankee Stadium to their previously announced Atlantic Coast Tour schedule this summer. The 360-person Mormon Tabernacle Choir will perform a brief medley of patriotic songs from the field before singing the national anthem. The Choir, which was founded more than a century ago, has performed at World's Fairs, inaugurations of U.S. presidents and in concert halls around the world. It is dedicated to the universal language of music that has the power to bring joy, peace, and healing to its listeners. Made up strictly of volunteers, the Choir typically tours just once every two years.

Cap Night, a Yankee Stadium tradition of over 45 years, will also take place tonight. The first 18,000 Guests in attendance, 21 and older, will receive a Yankees cap, courtesy of Budweiser.

Dellin Betances Figurine Night will take place on Wednesday, July 8. The first 18,000 Guests in attendance for the 7:05 p.m. game vs. the Athletics will receive a Betances figurine, courtesy of P.C. Richard & Son.
