There Used To Be A Ball Park

Corey- I find it interesting that the New York metropolitan area has three new stadiums being built simultaneously. I'll admit Shea is a bit rundown, but Yankee Stadium is a national relic. What was so imperative about tearing it down and rebuilding? To justify tripling and quadrupling the ticket prices?

It would be great if enough fans stopped buying tickets to make a dent in a team's bottom line. But as the Yankees and others know, corporations will step up and grab those seats. Like I've said, I'll watch the games on TV (until the inevitable happens and they take that away from us too).
