We go from having a game that ends past midnight to a game that begins at rush hour. Hardly conducive to keeping the seats filled. Used to be you could move into the unclaimed seats at Yankee stadium. No more. On a totally random note since I'm in a random mood at this hour, why can't surround sound capture the cheers in the stands? If they get too abusive, just bleep it out with periods of silence. For example, as much as I hate Boston fans, you have to give them credit for their abusive but highly imaginative anti-Yankee chants ("A-Roid" and such). I think baseball attendance would pick up dramatically if fans could "contribute" to the broadcast. - Jeff

I wouldn't sit in the bankster seats if you paid me. In fact, I've had parents of my young clients offer me tickets to sit in that area at Yankee Stadium and Citifield (for free) and I always politely say, "no, thank you". It's enough I have to look at bankster faces during the course of the day and briefly exchange pleasantries with them, but to sit with them would be gruesome, hell on earth. They are financial serial killers, some of the most disgusting human beings on the planet.
