I hear ya guys, but my comments were based on that they are hyping up this Food Court in the Bleacher section, should of clarified that. BTW..this will also be where the 2K SRO tickets will be able to access. I, as well as some other plan holders have spoken with the Yankee reps and they refuse to answer the Alcohol question regarding the bleachers.

[...] know I mentioned this fun little toy yesterday when I wrote about the Yankees’ season ticket relocation efforts, but I wanted to plug it again. As part of their new stadium relocation package, the Yanks have put [...]

What do you mean by “any such thing?” The Sunday package or the availability of the Tier MVP seating? There’s still a Sunday package, but the comparable seats in the new stadium aren’t available for anything under the 20 game plan. If you look at the picture Ben posted the smaller plans start in that lavender section (312).

I’d have to be smoking pot myself to ever freaking pay $2,500 a ticket to watch those bozos.

A friend has the Sunday package for Tier MVP seats and I am usually the lucky recipient of those left over seats (over 1st base). I assume there will not be any such thing in the new stadium?

Will there be tours of the NEW stadium? It will be nice to get pictures of and walk on the new field.

Does anyone know about the alcohol policy regarding the Bleachers for 2009? It appears that the Bleacher sections will still be seperate from the rest of the seats, even the ones in front of them will exit thru a tunnel that goes underneath them. I don’t understand this red-headed step-child treatment for us Bleacher folk.

I believe the core group of bleacher creatures (not the ones that just buy the shirts and proclaim themselves as such) will be staying in the same area they always have. So in the new stadium it would be Sec 203 & 204.

For all of the crap they’re getting about ticket prices and what not, they seem to be doing a good job with this relocation thing so far. I do feel bad for those that were pushed out of their seats that they now deem “premium”. But the relocation lottery is done by seniority, so those people who have had their seats for a long time will probably get dibs on the new seats that they want.

Also, if there’s another ticket holder that you’d like to sit near you can request that your new seats are next to each other. I had my fears that they would just hand out ticket assignments and it was that or nothing, but they seem to be doing this in a fair way considering there are less seats to be had.

Oh, and this 3d seat selector this is really cool. Click on Daylight Views and you can see approximately where the shadows will fall during different times of the day.

Intriguing, yes. As someone who picks RF bleacher seats frequently, it will be nice to have the LF as an option (in the current stadium, i avoid it as I hate being so far away from the action behind the monuments.)

Not to bite off Fenway too much, but one of the things I’ve always appreciated about that stadium was the super-close seats against the low RF wall. Any idea on how high/low the OF walls are going to be?
