They have various "Beers of the World" stations which have a decent selection.
Yankee Stadium Matchday Megathread

Beers are going to be the best part of $9 a pop, food is around $10-$15 per item. Really don't think it's worth eating at the stadium to be honest since most of it is fried bs anyway. My advice would be to stop at a deli or even the McDonalds across the street before the game, scarf something down quick, and spend your money on beer inside.
Totally blows that they're not putting the New Haven line to YS. Costs extra.
I usually grab 2 hot dogs and water for $5 outside the stadium. I don't open the water bottle so that I can bring it in with me. Regarding beer, Yankee Stadium has one of the worst selections of beer out of every baseball stadium. The Washington Post actually did an article on beers at every stadium and the Yankees were almost last in every category. Don't expect any local beers, they are all Anheuser-Busch and MillerCoors.
I'm sure they'll at least have heineken now? dat shock top raspberry is always good for the summer too (okay make fun of me lol)
Yes, a very small one (I think the dimensions are 16 x 16 inch).
16" x 16" x 8" max (unless a Yankee fan based on experience tells you differently)
They are strict with it and will send you "down to the bowling alley to rent a locker" if your bag is too big.
Regarding beer, I echo the recommendation to find a "Beers of the World" station. It has a decent selection, but pricey at $12/pint. Plenty of beer everywhere else, but it's all mass market American swill, except for the occasional Heineken here and there.
Food runs the same way. Lot's of fried stuff at inflated prices. There are a few decent options, but you have to look for them. The Lobells stand has a really good Philly Cheesesteak. There is a sushi bar that is better than you'd expect.
Overall, food and beer are really disappointing given the venue. The best bet is to plan ahead. Go to the Yankee website and find a map of the amenities. Figure out where the best spots are relative to your seats.

For food this is a helpful article:

I agree, there are some good stands. I purposely got my seats near one of those cheesesteak stands. So good!
Great tips, dudes. One more question. I'm in 236. It sounds like the cheesesteaks at Lobels are something I should try. The nearest one to my section is in 134. Can I get to that stand? Or do you have to be sitting in the 100s?
At yankee games there is always a solid line at Lobels, they set up the line like at an amusement park with you just weaving back and forth...
^ thats in the stadium
^ the steak sandwich
^ the line =(
