all these new stadiums in every sport are built to sell luxury corporate boxes.
the new yankee stadium is beautiful, but it's also laid out like a shopping mall
and littered with restaurants and vendor stands with $42.00 sandwiches.
it's a fukkin' joke. you have to be an earl or a duke, or mortgage your house for
good seats, and when you price out the plumbers, cops, firemen, construction workers, etc.
and fill the stadium with wall street pansies and spoiled listless fans, you actually lose a lot
of what home field advantage means. i've never heard a louder stadium than the old yankee
stadium, the new one still has great fans but they are scattered upwards and outwards only.
it's not even close to the original. "priced out" is going on everywhere.Not helping the situation since 1965!

The costs are gettin up there no doubt. I went to a pre-season game, had 2 free ones, bought 2 more at half price pre-season seats (41 bucks each) for lower bowl seats. Although the cost was about 25 bucks eack for 4 tickets (vs $400-500 for regular season) parking was 15 bucks, beers $7.50 a pop. I spent about 65 dollars for food/drinks when we first got in...3 more beers at $7.50 eacd and gave 20 bucks to eack of my sons if they wanted something else plus whatever my wife spent (prolly another 40 -60bucks).
Nothing beats being there but for a family of four during the regular season you can drop $700-1000 on one night of Hockey...I'd rather watch em in HD on CI than fork out that kind of money.
You can get great deals but I don't want to see the Stars play basement dwelling teams and sit in nose bleed seats.....shawnlutz.com
