Yankees file for Chapter 11 yet?
are rows of empty seats in the first few rows showing up on TV that would be rather embarassing for them.
The Yankee have however sold all of the 52 luxury viewing boxes so someone still has some big money to spend but for many of the lesser rich that $2,625 price tag is just too much at this time.
all and the Steinbrenners probably feel that is reason enough as well to charge a premium price.
I would love to go there at least once despite the high price just to see it, I hear it is very impressive.

For $2,625 I say there better be included some good lap dances in that. LOL

looking for low grade t205's psa 1-2
I assume it is all you can eat (should be at that price). Not sure if the seats are in a restaurant itself or if it is a help yourself and carry
it back to your seat.
I guess it is going to Kevin Brown and Carl pavano!
Heck, they are having a hard time selling the $325 seats between the bases also. In fact, they had an Open House recently for prospective buyers to come view the seats
"if there are rows of empty seats in the first few rows showing up on TV that would be rather embarassing for them."
I agree but would think it was funny. It would serve them right for over pricing the seats so much in this economy.
I have a Partial Season Package in the Terrace Level for $45 per ticket, not bad. The Grandstand seats, similar to the old Upper Deck seats but not as high of an elevation are $20-25 per seat, and the Bleachers are a real bargain at $12 per seat, but all of the Terrace, Grandstand, and Bleacher seats have sold out to Season Ticket holders.
"The answer was in the Patriots eyes. Gone were the swagger and c0ck sure smirks, replaced by downcast eyes and heads in hands. For his poise and leadership Eli Manning was named the game's MVP. The 2007 Giants were never perfect nor meant to be. They were fighters, scrappers....now they could be called something else, World Champions."
<< <i>So if the finest restaurant food is included, that knocks off $200 from the seat price. Realistically the best seats at even $400 is steep. What the heck is the other $2,000 for?
I guess it is going to Kevin Brown and Carl pavano! >>
LMAO @ Kevin Brown
<< <i>They are having a hard time selling the $2,625 seats and have taken out full page ads in the New York Times to try and spur interest, if there

maybe perhaps these box seats were sold prior to the financial meltdown.
interesting to see in the next couple of years if these are still sold out.

35,000 season tickets have been sold so far which is pretty good. I agree the luxury viewing boxes were probably sold before
the financial meltdown and next season could be a challenge in selling them if the economy is still bad.
"The city's Independent Budget Office, a publicly funded agency that provides non-partisan information about financial issues, estimated the Yankees deal will cost the city $362 million, the Mets' agreement $138 million. Savings to the teams: $787 million over 40 years for the Yankees, $513 million for the Mets.
Other estimates vary, as figures in the complex deals are interpreted differently.
New York State Assemblyman Richard L. Brodsky, D-Westchester, the most vocal critic of the deals, says the taxpayers' tab for Yankee Stadium eventually will total $4 billion. (He includes potential property tax revenue over 40 years given up in the deal, although stadium advocates argue the teams weren't paying property tax at their old stadiums.)
"I don't know what you think about bank bailouts, but the public is spending $4 billion to build Yankee Stadium, at a time we can't fund the (subway system) and schools," he says, adding the deals are a misuse of a financing tool called PILOTS (payment in lieu of taxes).
"It's like you built a new house, and the local town tax collector came in and said, 'You owe $10,000 a year in property taxes,' and you say, 'I'll pay you but only on the condition you send it to my bank to cover my mortgage.' That's happened," he says."
