Todd Schultzthe Yankees could get some bounce out of their new stadium this year, but less than 90% capacity is still possible, especially in this economy. BTW, they do not draw more than a million more fans than every other franchsise, ever. Also, in terms of their attendance, they finished 2008 fifth in % of capacity at 92.3%, and were smoked by the Red Sox, Cubs, Tigers and Phils. Also, 2008, the swan song for the Stadium, got them their highest % of occuapncy for the decade at tha 92.3. They just topped 90% in 2006 and 2007, but didn't hit the 90% mark for 2004 and 2005, and didn't even hit 80% for 2002 or 2003.
