Yankee Stadium Re-Entry: Stamp Hands or Scan Barcodes. Duh.

SS

Couldn't the Yankees scan the barcode on the way out and reactivate the ticket? Are they worried that I'm going to hang for five innings then meet you at stans and let you watch the last four? And why would they care, you might buy a hot dog.

Theme parks somehow have figured out reentry. Maybe the Yankees could stamp my hand?

Maybe they could call games at 8pm, or offer rainchecks to everyone.

This solution that "only Paul Olden's announcements are official" changes nothing. Employees are still going to tell you "what they heard."

Last year on opening day the players were told half an hour before the fans that the game had been called. A-Rod was halfway home before anyone told us that we should leave.

There were 46000 paid tickets Tuesday night (capacity 52000) for a game against Boston in a brand new stadium. If that game ain't sold out, then they have plenty of extra seats to hook everyone up with rainchecks.

Or do they like seeing fewer people at the ballpark?

By the way I enjoyed Michael Kay mentioning that you could watch last night's game "for free.". I guess Michael has figured out a way to get YES without paying a cable company.

The great prophet Mushnick was right after all, and you're starting to see the tipping point.

How many of you partial-plan holders are realizing that it's not worth buying 15 or 20 games any more when you can just stubhub them? Lots of folks (like me) thought we'd be able to offset our costs on the resale market. That's not happening, and it's only May.

Next year I might just skip Yankees all together and just cut my Citi seats to Saturdays.
