An Embarrassment of Non-Riches
Below are pictures from Yankee Stadium on the afternoon of Friday, April 17, during the second game ever hosted at the most anticipated ballpark ever constructed in the most populous, richest city in America's history.

The game started at approximately 1:05 p.m.

These photos (and this seating/pricing chart, which doesn't even reveal the starting-at-$500 price tag for Legends Suite seats) indicate what types of "fans" the Stadium was really built for, how far below expectation the Yankees are receiving corporate dollars, and how wasteful corporations behaved in the past in order to set those levels of expectation.

When Yogi Berra said, "Nobody goes there no more; it's too crowded," we know he wasn't talking about the best seats in Yankee Stadium.

The ticket prices for some of those seats are a disgrace!

They had to spend all of that money on political contributions.
