New York Yankees Polling Season Ticket Holders About New Stadium

Interesting stuff from Raissman…

n an e-mail obtained by the Daily News, Hal Steinbrenner, Yankees Managing General Partner, is inviting a “limited number” of season ticket holders to offer opinions about the Yankees’ new home. The 90-minute meetings will be held at Rockfeller Center’s Yankees Preview Center and the Stadium.
“We want to know what you like best, and what may have disappointed you,” Steinbrenner writes. “Most importantly, we want the truth.”

Nope, Your New York Mets And Yankees Tickets Aren’t Going To Sell (Times)

Saved this from yesterday…and at 7pm Saturday it was the top-sent article on the Times.   The blogoverse knows this already, but there’s zero demand for NYC baseball tickets.  Stubhub is the way to go to buy tickets below cost (and I’m slitting my own throat telling you this, but it’s not a state secret.)

The Times predicts for 2010 what I do:


The weak resale market has Goldman and a growing number of Mets and Yankees season-ticket holders considering whether to drop their seats next year, or to switch to a plan with fewer games or cheaper seats. The risk of being stuck with expensive tickets that are hard to resell, they said, is just too high in a weak economy.


“I figured this year would be a no-brainer,” said Goldman, a salesman from New Hyde Park on Long Island. “But it’s a buyer’s market. I get offers all the time for my tickets that are insultingly low. I don’t know that being a season-ticket holder is the right route.”

New York Mets Donate Tickets To Wounded Vets

I spend enough time giving the Mets grief…so I am thrilled to write about them doing something nice.

Smith and roughly 50 fellow amputees were at Citi Field on Friday, taking in the Yankees’ 9-1 Subway Series win over the Mets before Sunday’s five-mile Hope & Possibility Race through Central Park. Hearing that the veterans were in town, the Mets donated 50 tickets to the group down the right-field line. And Rob Diamond, who has run a fund-raising Web site for the Freedom Team, provided concessions for those in attendance.

Baseball To Honor New York Yankees Lou Gehrig On Saturday July 4

Very cool…

Published: June 28, 2009

Major League Baseball will honor the anniversary of Lou Gehrig’s farewell at 15 games on Saturday, when his speech will be read during the seventh-inning stretch.

I hope they don’t lose their minds and take #4 out of circulation.
