"....the seats in the Legends Suite are comfortably cushioned,
have more legroom in
front of you, have in-seat waiter service, private restrooms, and a wide selection
of food options and
nonalcoholic beverages; alcoholic beverages are available for purchase.
There are flat screen
monitors everywhere so that it would be hard for you to
miss any part of the game.
The rows closest to and around the dugout are $2500 per
seat per game,
and those rows a little further out are $1250 per seat
per game. We have 20-game,
41-game, and full 82-game plans available...so how many
seats and which game plan can we put you down for...?", steadying his clipboard and pencil

of unsold seats in the Legends Suite.

This only makes minor league games more attractive.

This will probably be the first year since 1949 that I won't be going to a Yankee home game. TOO rich for my blood. If I can't get a decent seat I'll watch it on TV. I put in dates that we'll be in NY. Looked for seats in the upper deck and couldn't get two together. In the old stadium I sat everywhere from first row next to the visitors dugout to the upper deck and, when I was a kid, in the bleachers.

I have the baseball package on Direct TV so I get to see almost all of the games.

We would make a day of it - going to Arthur Avenue for dinner either before or after the game.

. . . the seats in the expensive sections
are going for
half the price now....in that light, how many
seats to how many
games are you able to go to, now ....?...!

HAHAHA...when I was a kid, best-seats in-the-Stadium were, I believe $5.50 or $6.50. I sat in the General Admission for $1.50, or the Bleachers for 75 CENTS.

Of course, I snuck down to the Field Boxes in-between Sunday Doubleheader games from the Upper Deck.

No charge.

Of course, the #4 Subway was 15 cents.

I still remember the Yankees ladies day promotion in the 1950's--Mom and daughter, each for a quarter.

.....and I STILL hear Bob Shephard: "Batting third............... Mickey Mantle"

A voice and a memory that will never leave me..

• i've said it before, and i'll say it again,
Joba Chamberlain is a
natural born closer, not a starter; that's my story until the
Yankee powers-that-be
sit up and take notice, and i'm sticking to it...

• • • there's just no substitute for winning...
I don't hear anyone
in a "bronx cheer" longing for ex-manager Joe Torre, now ...

Remember when the BOSS wanted to move the Yankees? He said people didn't want to come to The Bronx. See what a little winning does.

Every year we would drive from Fkorida's east coast to Tampa for a Yankee - Rays game. The seats we paid $45 for are now $65. That's a $130 for my wife and I plus a tank of gas for my truck ($65). Add in lunch and dinner and it's a lot of money for a Sunday afternoon - easaly $230. We'll watch it on TV
