Fan Appreciation Sale?

Begging fans to keep supporting them after not making the playoffs?

Congrats on your first post.

But this deal... ick

Don't forget about FatCash

I am a Yankees fan but anybody who goes to games (without free tickets) is nuts.
Crappy neighborhood, absurd food and drink prices and of course absolutely silly ticket prices.

You park in the garage next to the stadium, you walk out and into the ballpark and you won't see the "crappy" neighborhood.
The prices for food and drinks are no worse than for the Giants, Jets, Rangers, Devils, Islanders, Knicks, Nets or Mets.
Also, if you don't like the food prices, you are allowed to bring in your own food too.

You really aren't a big fan of the team if you refuse to participate in visiting one of the most historic venues of alltime.

Similarly, the Islanders have offered Chix Fingers and Fries platter for around $8 for several years now. But they should pay you to see a game at that old barn (that's another story).

As for the deal, it's really a non-deal. 20% off mlb.com prices are still generally much more than the item should cost.

Not sure which Yankee Stadium you are referring to,
but at the one at 161st Street and River Ave,
Bronx, NY, you are permitted to bring in ONE
bottle of water if it is in a clear, sealed
bottle. No other food or drink is permitted.

Uhmm, I know you're trying to sound smart and all, but why not just say "You really aren't a big fan if you dont go to the game.
And the point is that he/she does not go to the game because of the prices and location, it has nothing to do with being a big fan.

Then again maybe they arent a fan of the team because 3/4 of them are hired mercenaries, which is in direct contrast to your attempt at appealing to the emotions by referring to the site as one of the most historic venues of alltime.

There's a Jeter on my %$#@% knock it off, there's a Jeter on my ^%$#@ knock him off.....

lol

My problem is that he would NEVER pay to see the team he supports. Whether half the team is as you call them "hired mercenaries" or just trades they made along the way, you can't be much of a fan if the ONLY way you would go is if the tickets were free. The bleachers are still cheap enough seats to buy and watch a game.

As to those of you who think this 20% off is a bad deal because the merchandise is already overpriced, well, hey, that's how authentic sports apparel is priced. Folks know that they are overpaying, but for the true fan it is worth the cost. Go to a hockey game some time and see the countless fans wearing $200 jerseys.And you are comparing apples and oranges. Apparel from mlb.com is overpriced because it can be had elsewhere for less money. Pro sports jerseys are "overpriced" as compared to, say, a replica jersey or a t-shirt. Regardless, you will pay more for a jersey from mlb.com than you will elsewhere.
