I know what you mean. I'm a graphic designer and designed much of the graphics for Camden Yards, including the first opening day and season tickets. I had a big fight to get the ticket people to make nice tickets printed on a classic uncoated (not shiny) cardstock that you would be proud to carry to a game. I won the battle, but not the war because now all you seem to get are the real sterile computer tickets that look like concert tickets that look like theater tickets, etc. Who would be proud to put a 2008 ticketmaster LA Dodgers ticket next to one that came out of Ebbets Field in the 1940's? It's a shame, but at least the season tickets are still a little colorful for most teams.
