A Humorous Look at Yankee Stadium Premium Seats | May 6, 2009


Larry Johnson has a funny look at the premium seating situation at Yankee stadium. Last night the author attended a game in MLB seats on the third base side (almost premium seats). This was the first time in over 35 years of attending Red Sox/ Yankee games at the stadium that I can remember that the majority of the empty seats were at field level (and it was not due to rain, which only started in the 6th inning)

  1. Why don’t they offer the seats to a charity, for bidding, the seats going to the highest bidder at the game? It would raise money and fill the seats.
