Good
Stadium built in a little over a year 1923 - 24 for a cost of $2.5 million. Probably less money the then poorest paid Yankee starter makes in one year. Stienbrenner's new stadium is supposed to take 2 years and cost $1.4 BILLION. Expect to see a rise in the cost of Yankee tickects. Professional sports, especially in New York is outta control. I wonder how much of Steinbrenners money is going into the stadium and how much the taxpayers are going to fork over................ :rolleyes:

heard on ESPN that for seats over the dugout in the twins/yanks series next year, it would be cheaper for a yankee fan to fly out to minnesota and buy tickets, then to buy a ticket at yankee stadium :shocked:
It might actually be cheaper to just buy the Twins :grin:
