Meet the Yankees' fans who came out in 30-degree weather to celebrate MLB's opening day

The New York Yankees were scheduled to have their Opening Day on Monday against the Houston Astros, but it was postponed to Tuesday, due to inclement weather. The weather for the postponed game was sunny, but it was a cold 30 degrees. However, that did not stop fans from attending.

We visited Yankee Stadium on Tuesday to talk with some of the hardcore Yankee fans who were there. While many were disappointed that the game was postponed, they were not about to miss it. Some even rescheduled their flights home.

Below, see some of the biggest fans that attended the home opener.

Entry gates into the stadium opened at 11 am, and by 11:15 am, fans were swarming the streets to enter the game.

Some families make it a tradition to attend every home opener for the Yankees. Below, the Polio family has been attending the home openers for the past 40 years. "Our parents used to pull us out of school [for the game], and now we do the same with our kids," they explained.

Other fans traveled from out of state, such as the family pictured below who traveled from Texas. They had to change their flights home due to the game getting postponed — but "it was worth it!" they said.
