Yankee Parking Lot Prices Skyrocket

Submitted by Joe L., Oct 14, 2007 22:26

I find it rather sickening that the price of parking cant be set at one price for all.As we all know by now there are many people stuffing there pockets as a blue collar guy like myself has to sacrifice and cut corners in order to take my children and myself to a Yankee game.The last time I attended a game a beer cost $9.50!!!! that is outragous.With ticket prices steadily increasing regardless of new or old stadiums there always seems to be another way to rip off the fans.This is price gauging and Im sure that one reasonable price would still leave plenty of profit for the powers that be.I think it is time that local government needs to step in and take charge since the average fan never seems to have any say in these matters and as voted local politicians when you accecpted these votes you accepted the duty of representing the community and you are the voice and or only hope of fixing this problem.I know of a queens councilman(who is a met fan none the less) named Hiram Monserate who is proposing a bill in the fans favor...hey Bronx where are you???How are we supposed to pass along our American pastime when we cant afford to share it with our children who will be future fans of the game.
