Quite possibly the most moronic baseball-related thing I have heard all year.
I don't vote and I don't watch. It's gotten so far away from what it was supposed to be. Now it's a cast of thousands with every team having to have at least one player, regardless of merit. Which Pittsburgh Pirate sucks the least this year? Probably McCutchen.
Normal seats at Yankee Stadium start at $315 and, I think, $200 at Citi Field. Citi's two lowest prices are $60 for the front of the nosebleeds and $35 for whatever the left field porch is, and the rest of the nosebleeds. Meanwhile, $35 gets you a good box seat in Pittsburgh and maybe $20 more than that in Cleveland.
I'm not just a fan of the team, but the game. There are several teams I like a lot. Such as the Mets, Twins, Cubs, Giants. There are a few I utterly detest; Yankees, Blue Jays, Reds, Astros.
Except that stadiums nowadays are about marketing and maximizing the revenue streams more than about seeing a game. The ticket prices in NY are outrageous, and of course Boston would follow suit. I'm really not into $500 for a ticket with free food. No way am I getting anything close to value for that, even if I stuff my face every inning.
Yes, they should. 100 years is enough. Build a new one with the exact same dimensions, but obviously a bigger capacity, and all the bells and whistles.
Oh, and my second favorite team is the Yankees.
