hey, JP...your season tickets are going to cost at least $80,000 in the new Yankee Stadium. Look way up in the tier level and wave hello to me.

Auction everything off so only the millionaires and billionaires are allowed to have things from Yankee Stadium. Everything is always about the green paper.

famdoc: Little defensive? Seriously, I understand the sarcasm but I'm a season-ticket holder and have been for years and incidents like this make the whole experience a pain-in-the-ass for everyone.

Hey JP, it's called sarcasm. I might criticize the Steinbrenners, but I go to 18 games a year (albeit at $5 a ticket and bring my own dinner).

What's with the attitude on the previous few posts suggesting that the action by these morons was OK? Jackasses like this make it worse for all of us. Wanna a souvenir? Buy a friggin t-shirt. Stop complainin' about how expensive everything is. If it is, then why are you spendin' your money on it?

The Post story says that the Yanks will take this stuff seriously this year because they plan at the end of the year to auction off everything in the stadium that they possibly can. So as usual, it's the money.

seems like the Yankees could have dealt with this differently. Revoking season tickets and charging criminally seems a bit much.

Let's see...the Steinbrenner pere et fils can charge $8.50 for a watery beer, $25 for a yearbook (yes, $25) and $50 for a 'commemorative' Yankee Stadium photo book, but fans, paying $100 for semi-obstructed seats can't steal from him? Where's the justice in this?

So not worth the price they paid after getting caught. They should've asked the Stadium management of there was any chance that the bunting could be bought afterwards.
