Baseball food is all about the hot dogs, right? Wrong. When the new Yankee Stadium opens next week, those lucky enough to be sitting in the club and suite areas will have access to some pretty fancy fare.

In the Delta 360 section, patrons will be able to check out the dining room where, occasionally, two Food Network chefs will cook in open kitchens.
