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:
