Where to hear live rendition of the National anthem in NYC?

Accepted answer

As you said, sporting events are usually your best bet for a guaranteed National Anthem. While they (usually) aren't free, if you're not picky about your sport, there's probably more than a few that you can get for relatively cheap.

Soccer (football) is in mid-season right now so tickets probably aren't that expensive and I know that there're at least two teams in the area (New York Red Bulls and New York Cosmos).

You can also check out minor league baseball, but that will be over by the end of September.

Preseason tickets for any sport are also usually cheap. I noticed that the New York Rangers and New York Islanders will be playing that week. Basketball doesn't start until October.

Major League Baseball can be very hit or miss as far as ticket prices go at that time of year. There are almost aways some very cheap tickets available if you're willing to sit in bad seats, but that's up to you.

Beyond the professional ranks, you can always check out some younger teams. For instance, a high school football game will also play the National Anthem before the game. That's starting to get pretty far down the list of places you probably want to end up just to hear something you can get on your phone for less than $1.
