  1. Wait a minute...

    The obese man. The new action food station. The drink. The union guy.

    They're linked. I can smell it.

  2. Tip of the cap to the Yankees. Their Ticketmaster page gives you a full 20 minutes to complete your purchase. I clicked 2 best available seats and the price was only $81,000. With Food Action Stations 81 nights a year, I figure we can live off the calories the other 284 nights. Right, kids?

  3. for that kind of dough, they can't throw in a case of beer? I wonder if they even appreciate ordinary fans like us anymore.

    The Yanks always upgrade some fan's seats early during the games. They like to make it seem as if the selection is random. however, we note that the fans that get upgraded are already sitting in expensive seats. Fans in the nosebleed sections, beyond the reach of foul balls, NEVER get upgraded. The fans that would appreciate the seat upgrades the most never get them. why is that, we wonder?

  4. The very first season of the current stadium, I went to redeem some vouchers I received when I donated some food. All of the cheapo free seats were filled for one of the available dates. After some conversations behind the window, the agent came back, pointed to a spot on the seating map and asked "How are these?"

    Well, they were field level or whatever the level behind legends is called, so they were quite alright for me. I didn't have any money for food and it was cool and rainy, but they were very comfortable. I'd like to offer myself for seat filler again if needed.
