The Yankees recently sent out an email announcing their "premium offerings" at the next Yankee Sadium. If you plan to experience some of these luxuries — slated to debut next season — start playing the lottery now.

Below are the four levels of premium seating at what is sure to be the most commercially aggressive stadium in the history of American sports. All are tagged as "suites," but don't confuse all with enclosed luxury boxes. Most appear to be renamed versions of some of the best outdoor seats in the current Yankee Stadium — but with special privileges that come at outrageous prices.

• Legends Suite — These 1,800 lower-level seats extend from dugout to dugout and start at $500 each. For a baseball game. That may be played in cold or rain. Against the Royals.

• Main Level Outdoor Suite — Located on the second level behind home plate, these 1,200 seats start at $350 per game. Yep, for $350, you get no better than the 1,801st-best seat in the house.

• Terrace Level Outdoor Suite — The best home-plate view from the upper deck comes from these 1,300 seats that start at $100 per. Upper deck, you may recall, is usually populated by people not rich enough, or not willing enough, to pony up for the "good" seats.

• Club Suite — Lacking in friends that are high-placed in the corporate world? Now you can buy into an expansive luxury suite, one ticket at a time, and hob-nob with the wealthy from a variety of industries. Maybe even organized crime! These 74 seats start at $700 per. And, get this, you still have to pay extra for booze!

(Images of all.)

I don't know why these seats are said to "start" at the prices given. Perhaps some spots in particular sections cost more than others. Or perhaps some games cost more to attend. I do know this: at the base prices listed above, the Yankees will take in $1,968,000 for these 5,040 seats. For every game. Throughout the foreseeable future.

That's before anyone buys a drop of beer. Or advertises in the park. Or eats at the steakhouse (blasphemy). Or leases a luxury suite. Or purchases any of the other 45,000 seats.

All those things will bring the Yankees per-game revenues around $83 trillion.

I will update when I find out what is planned for regular fans, the ones who showed up before the dramatic increases in attendance at Yankee stadium since 1995.

(It's interesting to note that, as recently as 1997, the reigning World Series champion Yankees drew only the 5th-best attendance in the AL, at 32,254 per game. In 2001, with the Yankees having won three straight World Series and a total or four in five years, the per-game attendance was "only" 40,800. Last season, a second-place effort coming off consecutive first-round playoff knockouts, the Yankees drew a franchise record 52,729 per game.)
