But the idea that you can and should try to squeeze every fucking nickel out of someone going to a game by creating a completely different stadium experience for the hyper-wealthy--different entry, different food, different service--is despicable. And then they jacked up prices to an amount even rich people won't pay such that >50% of those seats remain unfilled.
It's an embarrassment. The Steinbrenners should be shamed in the streets like Cersei. I wouldn't pay face-value for a ticket (hell, I wouldn't pay at all) if we were in the World Series. And I'm exactly the type of person they should be trying to keep in the mix--lifelong fan, professional with a kid who loves sports. Fuck 'em.

I went there once and got something to eat on the lower level that was messy and went to sit down at one of the stools -- just for a second to like nibble the edge off my cheeseburger or something before I went to the upper deck -- and security jumped on me like I was this girl.
