LOL....acknowledging Yankee fans??? How? By charging $2,500 for a feild level seat in the New corporate shithole? The Yankees are just not the Yankees anymore without that ballpark.

Pay attention "Dufus". This video is of GMS waving to the "Spring Training Fans" in Tampa...nothing to do with Yankee Stadium...in addition, Mr Steinbrenner is not running the organization any longer, and certainly has nothing to do with setting ticket prices....further more...if you can't afford the ticket price...buy a radio.

It is not Yankee Stadium. Citi is actually a nicer park, You want to root for a team who could care less about you until you have big $ to spend, enjoy. It's no different then marrying a woman because she loves you money. Yes, its marriage, but its not love.

And I'll never give up on my team and stop being a fan. I love the Yankees. I'm also a diehard Knicks and Giants fan. When I mean diehard Knicks, it's diehard. I'm not a bandwagon fan. Branding me as one because I support George for all he has done to return the Yankees to prominence is stupid. The guy took the Yankees historic name in 1971 and rose it through the roof and into the heavens. The team is beyond iconic now. He played a major role in that. Give the man credit and stop bitching.

The corporate tools will always exist, as will those expensive seats. This is something you'll have to accept. I don't like it but it is what it is. The Stadium cost 1 billion $ to create and it's an amazing stadium. They have to get back some profit somehow. I thought the Stadium had become too corporate too. Then I went to the game on Sunday and felt the electricity of the old Stadium once again. The new Yankee Stadium is beginning to feel like the old one as far as atmosphere goes.

Yeah dickweed, good for you. I'm a lifelong fan. I went to theold Stadium and I went to my first game just the other day against the Red Sox. Paid $50 a seat for 2 very good seats in section 209, the second deck of the stadium in the outfield. The view was amazing and very close. You get your money's worth. If you want to sit in the fucking Legends seats, faggot, then go become a millionaire. nobody is forcing you to buy those seats. so STFU.

Lastly, know that it is jerk-offs like this who almost ruined the game by not only turning a blind eye, but nearly encouraging players to juice up for a LONG time.

[Yoseman1]

I just can't fathom how anyone can root for a team who makes it clear they couldn't give a shit about you. People are incredibly simple.

[Yoseman1]

Sorry, but fuck you sheep. If winning at ANY cost is fine with you, then you have no idea what being a fan is. I loved this team through the AWEFUL early 90's. Can't wait to see how where you are, or how full the corporate shit box is when they sink to those levels again.

[yiassoufile]

Dude, SHUT THE FUCK UP already. George is the greatest owner in all of sports. What more can a fan ask for when George pays whatever it takes to win? Leave the old man alone. The new Stadium is what it is. Go cry somewhere else about it. If you're going to stop being a Yankee fan because you can't get a seat then you weren't a real fan to begin with.

[Yoseman1]

Furthermore.....When the team my grandfather, father, then myself treated like religion decides we are no longer worthy to sit on the field level by pricing us out, I have no need for a radio, as I have no interest. Yankee fans should be embarresed when they see the Yanks go to Fenway, and every seat in the house is full of REAL fans, not corporate jerk-offs whose company gave the tickets. I laugh when I see how many "fans" are in the new house now.....its a joke.

12634978, this IS the same GMS that was BANNED for life by the last real commish Baseball has had. What was he banned for? Making up stories about Dave Winfield, one of the classiest yankees to EVER wear the pinstripes. Moveover, GMS had everything to do with this new Stadium, AND the prices, which were set when the plans were still being drawn by the architects. So, you can lick his balls being he was nice enough to wave to you?? I say fuck him, and glad he is a drooling idiot now.
