Wow this is embarrassing...
"The Yankees are in the ALCS for the first time since — ahem — 2004. But Yankee Stadium may not be sold out tonight for Game 1 against the Angels. That would be embarrassing for the business side of the organization. Whether it's the economy or the outrageous ticket prices, there were still 6,000 seats available as of last night through the team. Just a few minutes ago, to see what was out there, I pulled up four tickets on Yankees.com for section 221. OK, so they were $431 each. But they were there. The Yankees trumpeted their postseason ticket prices a few weeks ago, proudly saying they had held the line on prices. But apparently they didn't go far enough (Boston.com)."
Sure the cold temperatures might have something to do with it, but maybe it is time to notice that building this deluxe stadium might have been a mistake. I have heard nothing but terrible things, and it is embarrassing when the seat near the field are almost all empty during the regular season. Now they can't even sell all of them during a playoff game? What a black eye to the Yankees organization...
