New York Yankees Play PR Game Well But The Moat Is Still Up

Well played Lonn Trost….at least the Daily News and a good looking former NFL QB who probably hasn’t paid for a ticket since he was 12 have bought into your tricks.  Hopefully the bloggers will call you on it so the mainstream press can by Monday.

What is not being said below (from the Daily News) is that you still can’t enter the legends suites…which means that you can forage for autographs in the corners with the rest of the riff raff but don’t you dare cross the moat.   Best line yesterday was that the Yankees might hire snipers to keep you out.

OK I gotta go to work – New Stadium Insider this is all you baby.

The Yankees have changed the policy that barred fans from entering sections adjacent to the field during BP. Regardless of where their ticketed seats are, Yankees spokeswomanAlice McGillionsaid spectators will be permitted into all the areas without protective screening while the Yankees hit. The sections where they are permitted are on the field level, Sections 103-111 and 129-136, and also all Bleachers sections.
Fans will be asked to return to their ticketed seats “following the conclusion of the Yankees’ batting practice or 1 hour and 45 minutes after the gates open,” the new policy says.
Under the old policy, only fans with tickets in those sections were allowed there during batting practice. Seats in those sections, many between the dugouts and the foul poles, sell at $95 on game days.
“The club decided to liberalize the policy,” McGillion said. “Now anyone with a ticket can come down into those sections and get close during batting practice.”
