If you haven't heard the Yankees have lowered ticket prices to the "New" Yankee Stadium. The first row Legend Suite seats which are on the outer half of the dugouts and photo cages have been reduced from $2500 to $1250. Also, in seats in the first row down each foul line prices were lowered from $1000 to $650. That affects 48 and 68 seats respectively. Was this done because they felt sorry for the fans who weren't buying tickets because of the economic conditions? I think not. It was because there was no way they could televise a game and not show these seats, which were usually empty. It only has to do with image; not the fans. And this in no way will affect the average blue collar fan who can't afford a ticket in most areas of the stadium.
Now if only the Mets would do the same, perhaps I could afford to go to a game.

the games look pathetic with the stands so empty.
it is truly a shame, the average fan can't even go to a game these days.
Why ,..why...who is this benefitting, the over priced tickets??? no one, in this economy especially, will purchase tix.
just retarded. Nice new stadium and its frikkn empty all the time...WAY TO GO steinbrenners!~
I too wonder what was the reason behind all of this. I don't think the boys or Keira will ever get to either stadium in the near future. Will have to stick with the Patriots in Somerset :)
