So let's work this out. An 80 game home schedule at $600 a seat costs $48,000 for the season. And those are not the most expensive seats, as there are some as high as $2500 per game. Those work out to $200,000 for the season, and for a pair you can double that.

For that amount you get to see maybe 10 great games, with the other 70 ranging from very good to downright boring. It still costs $2500 to see the Kansas City Royals on a Tuesday afternoon in April, perhaps in the cold and drizzle. And all this during a deep recession.

Never has so much money bought so little.
