New Yankee Stadium: HOW... EXPENSIVE... IS IT?
Via New York Post columnist Phil Mushnick:
Reader Gary Cicio, NYC podiatrist, did the research, and asks us to choose one of the two options to see a Mariners-Yankees game this season, and from the very best seats:
Option 1: Two tickets to Tuesday night, June 30, Mariners at Yanks, cost for just the tickets, $5,000.
Option 2: Two round-trip airline tickets to Seattle, Friday, Aug. 14, return Sunday the 16th, rental car for three days, two-night double occupancy stay in four-star hotel, two top tickets to both the Saturday and Sunday Yanks-Mariners games, two best-restaurant-in-town dinners for two. Total cost, $2,800. Plus-frequent flyer miles.

Here is the kicker. When the Twins open Target Field in 2010, the seats right behind home plate will be more expensive, however those seats will be lower than the current layout at the Metrodome where the backstop is about 20 feet high. Of course, the seats right behind the plate are much less expensive than 2010 New Yankee Stadium prices.
