At Yankee Stadium

At Yankee Stadium is a studio album by the American band NRBQ, released in 1978 by Mercury Records. In keeping with the band's sense of humor, the album's title is a joke; the album credits read "Recorded at Bearsville Studios, November 1977 (not at Yankee Stadium)". The packaging includes photographs of the band members in an otherwise empty Yankee Stadium; these were taken as a birthday treat for bassist and founding member Joey Spampinato, when his bandmates arranged a private visit to the ballpark. Spampinato, a Bronx native, is a lifelong Yankees fan.

The album was released in two versions. Early copies included the song "Ridin' In My Car", which had been previously released on All Hopped Up, an album N.R.B.Q. released on their own record label (Red Rooster Records) the previous year. "Ridin' in My Car" was subsequently omitted from later versions of At Yankee Stadium.

Critical reception
The Daily Reporter praised the band's "rocking reverence for the basics and sense of fun." Robert Christgau noted that "drummer Tom Ardolino makes a marginal but telling difference—the performance is urgent, intense, up, so that even given their adolescent romantic preoccupations ... the songs take on a complex life worthy of their chord changes."
