How do your personal experience, identity and background influence your access and interpretation of this space? During my walk around the stadium, being a Puerto Rican in this area felt comfortable, although I was surrounded by a majority of individuals who were different from me, I didn't feel the need to exercise any tactics that were mentioned in the podcast, I was spoken to with respect and ease by everyone around me, so overall it was a great experience.

What biases might you have about this space and the people who are seen or not seen here? I don't have any biases against anyone in the space, everyone was very kind and respectful, and I was even able to make a couple of acquaintances at the game with our familiar knowledge of baseball.

How can you use different research methods (such as, observation, interviews, online/library research etc.) to uncover histories and information about this space? For my research methods, I used the article by Springgay and Truman to determine my walking experience and bring me more insight. You can use google and Wikipedia to uncover more history about the stadium and by asking long-time fans of the team for any information you're unsure of.

How does the local businesses or local communities influence the information that is distributed about this space? The mall close by the stadium advertises a giant billboard inside that offers a picture of the old Yankee team from the mid to late 1900's.

While I was walking around the stadium, I used embodiment and rhythm during my walking experience as mentioned in Springgay and Truman. I allowed myself to talk with others around the stadium by indulging myself into a more social experience to gain more knowledge of the individuals there. During the Podcast it mentioned that "Being a black man in New York city, you have to exercise tactics like not running, no loitering, no wearing hoodies, etc." In my case, I didn't feel the need to do any of that. Being a Spanish individual in a majority white community felt fine, I didn't need to be so paranoid especially since I was respecting everyone else around me.

The reason that specific part of the podcast resonated with me is because not everyone needs to conform to ideas of not standing out, because in reality that's almost never the case, depending on who you're dealing with though might be.
