OT: Scooter Gennett Hits 4 Home Runs in 1 Game

[CharleyBrown]

MLB owners and the MLB are doing quite well with MLBAM. When you take a look at the subsidiaries, you can see that the NBA and NHL have also latched on, enabling it to be quite the lucrative endeavor.

I am by no means wealthy, but as a family of four, we go to 4-5 games/year, and either sit right behind the on-deck circle, or in the first three rows right past the dugout on the 1st base line. This is at Citi Field. I've found the attendance to be pretty strong in comparison to other stadiums. I've seen a good amount of young kids that are really into baseball. I think we see less than we did in, say the 50s-80s because the NBA and NFL have become more marketed and are reaching a wider audience than they did in the past. However, I don't think kids are being priced out of the sport. There are still far more kids doing Little League than playing youth basketball, at least in my area.

Two words, for inexpensive (good seats) tickets: Stub Hub!! Always. Never go through the stadium's ticket office.

Even at Fenway, where the Red Sox sold out most games for the past decade, tickets can be found cheap on stubhub in many cases. Sure, you won't find any cheap seats for a July weekend series against the Yankees, but be a bit flexible with dates and/or teams and you can find very affordable seats for any stadium in baseball.

I do hate the handling fees, though.
