Yankee Stadium

Heeeeey, looks like I'll be going to Yankee games this year after all!

Faced with empty premium seats, the Yankees slashed top ticket prices up to 50% Tuesday in a desperate attempt to fill the front rows of their new $1.5 billion stadium.

Embarrassed that fans and the media made much ado about the backdrop of vacant field-side seats in the team's first homestand, Bronx Bomber big shots reduced top-tier ducats by up to $1,250.

I'm glad the Yankees are taking things in the right direction. But I honestly doubt anyone who can afford $1250 to sit in a chair for three hours couldn't already afford $2,500. We're not talking about people scrimping. Oh well, we'll see. Meanwhile, here's a picture of Weng throwing his patented 6-run double to a batter. Sweet.
