Yankees Stadium is empty

every game ive watched, those 2k seats are vacant, and throughout the rest of the stadium too.

dunno why theres a 68% chance if you go a yankees pitcher will serve up a homerun and you will get a souvenir

attendance is down everywhere.

some of the saddest ive seen so far is pitt, wash, fla, kc, sf, sd, oak.

next year teams payrolls are going to drastically drop. going to be a fire sale by the end of may for alot of teams that feel they are already done or to close to the bubble to save money

Not many families going to head to ballparks this year when it cost over $200 to take a family of 4.

I actually enjoy watching baseball much better on TV. Much better angles of the pitches coming into homeplate and can just follow the game better in general. Totally different from basketball and football. I wouldn't pay more than $15 to go to a baseball game. Thats why I only go when I get tix for free. Live 30 miles from Petco and by the time you pay for gas, parking, seats, and food your out of $80 a person. Afterwards I never felt I got my moneys worth, espcially after watching the so called shit the Padres call for a team.

i used to love going to games when i was younger..these days my attention span is short and i get bored easily..much better staying at home and can track scores on the net and change the channel to watch other games when you get bored with one
