>Hank: Thanks For The Parking $ Suckers!

>So they waited until 7:10 to rain the game out?????????

Once again, nobody has the forecast.

Once again “the window” magically disappears once you buy a hot dog.

So if you had tickets you what – ate them? Made the trip to the Stadium? $18 to park?

Not very fan friendly.

>Citi Field Ticket Prices

>

Lupica writes about the prices at Yankee Stadium III today – we’ll leave that for The Yankees Police….but it got us wondering about ticket prices at Citi Field (and why is Citi Field two words, and in five years will it be Something Else Field).
Anyways – uppers in Yankee Stadium II are $22 and at Shea for good games they are $35.
If Yankee III is going to charge over $100 to sit in the UPPERS behind home plate, how much do you suppose Titanium Premium Days like Opening Day will cost at Citi Field?

>Squeezing Every Last Drop

>So I guess it should come as no surprise that the eventual demolition of Shea and Yankee Stadiums will create a wealth of souveniers. Technically the city owns both ballparks and everything in them – but both teams want to buy the salvage rights from the city. When you factor in all the seats, signs, even phones, each park could gross upwards of $20 million. Guess the inflated ticket prices and all those new suites in Corporate Field aren’t enough for the Wilpon family.

When the Cardinals tore down Busch Stadium, they even sold some of the urinals for several hundred each.

Hmmm – how much do you think a Shea urinal would fetch on eBay?
