OT: Yankees with three consecutive walk-off wins

My mistake according to the $237 million bond to build Parking Lots by the Industrial Development Agency approximately 9000 spots will be built on what was neighborhood parkland and in the fine print in the contract the Yankees signed with the city the spots will be ready by 2010 and have to be priced at $29 not $32 and Valet parking will only be $40. The prices are fixed until 2014 when a regular spot will be a minimum of $35 and possibly more. I am sorry for the erroneous information as this year the price is only $19. I guess if you are paying $2600 a seat you can afford the valet parking.

Ya keep hearing about the $2600 seat as if every seat will cost this amount.
This is just for the select seats by homeplate & the dugouts. Just like floor
seats for the NBA games. I doub't its all that cheap to sit on the floor at a
Lakers game next to Jack, yet no one complains about it.
The Yankees have already sold 3.4 million seats at the new stadium, and will have
to have near sellouts to draw the 4 million.
Also the new stadium has less seats then the old one. So on some games like all against
Boston they could easily sell more tix if they had the space.

I've heard nothing but good things about the Stadium as Al pointed out and I'll
see for myself when I go in a week & change w/ M. Sarno.
We have great seats, and the cost was $50 per. Just a little shy of the $2600 that people love to refer to.

By the way I've been to over 150 Yankee games from the original stadium to the refurbished one.
And I've never sat by the dugout or directly behind home plate.
So it doesn't matter to me if they are $500 or $10K a pop, It won't affect me at all.

What a great bottom of the ninth.

Arod's 2 run HR in the 9th tied it
He has just 10 hits this season, 7 for home Runs!!!

It's days like this that I wished I lived in NYC. I get to watch the Rangers v. Astros on FOX and my DirectTV MLB package blocks out the Yankees!

Jim, the end of the Mets-Sox game might have been the most exciting finish of a regular season game in years. Absolutely incredible.

Yep. Got to see that one. Nothing better than a day when the Yanks win and the Red Sox lose.
