I'm too busy fighting the good fight in Flushing...you Yankees fans are on your own on this. Big League Stew says it best on Yahoo.
Get this: If you're just a regular fan and would like to buy a pair of seats from The House That Ruth Built, it'll set you back a grand total of $1,499. That's a lot of bread, but maybe worth it if you have a cool sports bar in your basement and want the flavor of old Yankee Stadium nearby. They're almost twice as expensive as the seats from Shea Stadium (which haven't even sold out at that price point) and cost more than the original seats from Yankee Stadium, pre-renovation, but fine. I can see it. Consumers can decide if they're willing to pay that price.
But here's the part that gets me. If you are/were a season ticket holder and you want your specific seats that you used to sit in game after game, the Yankees will be happy to reward your pocketbook loyalty by charging you $500 more for the pair. Just write out a check for $1,999 and they're yours forever.
If you don't want to take advantage of the offer? Well, the Yankees will be glad to sell you some freeze-dried grass for $50, a vial of dirt for $80 and a block of sod for $280.
