Last year when I graduated at the old stadium the grads were right close to the field so the parents could sit behind them on the same level. But w/e it was a great day and the stadium was beautiful, even if a few of the yankee employees were power tripping assholes The problem was that they had all the graduates on the field level and all the family on main level and up, so you couldn’t really get good pictures.

You pay to get into the stadium and for the entire stadium experience. If seats are empty, what is it to anyone that I move down. I believe in a fan base that is together. I love everyone who is like, "I stay in the seats I paid for, because that is the right thing to do." It is a baseball game for gods sake. Lighten up. I should not feel as if I am going to the white house where I have to watch where I walk and what I say. It is supposed to be relaxing and friendly.

As blusterous and bombastic and huffy as George may have been at times, he probably was the only one in the FO who actually loved ALL of the people that came to his ballpark. Really, who knew?

I have never understood people that find a need to move out of the seats they paid for. What's more, the idea that someone would be upset when their ability to move into seats they didn't pay for is restricted sounds petty and stupid. If someone wants to be upset on principle, fine, but at that point, aren't you just whining to whine ? Me too, Moshe.

How, exactly, do you determine which half get the expensive seats and which don't ???? Seems to me that was the only equitable solution.

And I would love to talk to George, Hank or Hal. Can you recomend that to the Yankees. As stated up, lets just agree that neither of us has decision making power, so we both are stuck with what they give us, no matter if we like it or not yes, it is a stetch.
