YS Transformation into Soccer Pitch

[Eldee5]

I guess I've been sleeping. I didn't even realize this was happening while the team is on the West Coast.

[JDPNYY]

How absurd.

This would be interesting to say the least.

I am going to Sunday game and will count down for the AC Milan vs. Real Madrid in August.


Most likely, this would be a good test for outdoor NHL game(s).

The Yankees have been offering full season ticket holders 2 free tickets to Sundays soccer

Oh good. I'm glad ticket sales haven't been as good as they were hoping.

I'm a full season ticket holder and the Yankees did not offer me any free tickets. I bet only the people in the expensive seats were offered free tickets.

Let's see if the new turf peels up as easily as it did during the Army/Rutgers game.

I'm a bit concerned about that. At least for college football, it was in the offseason. In this case, the Yankees will be back in the Bronx a week from today.

I'm in the infield grandstand and they offered up two free seats. Have to pickup at will call. It will be interesting to see what location they gave us.

Did they confirm with an email or phone call..?,,

I don't know much about soccer & demand for tickets, but when they sent me the presale info, it seemed like these soccer games were outrageously priced.
Is that normal for soccer?

It's the Yankee Stadium surcharge -- the most expensive tickets at Red Bulls game (For non-suite areas) are $70.

That's insane -These were more expensive than the Madonna concert!

They confirmed with a phone call Thursday afternoon.

[yankees2010]

The place looks empty on TV. But hey, Lonn is selling those $11 beers, well worth destroying the field before a home stand

For those not familiar with soccer, this is pre season. The equivalent would be bringing the Patriots and Eagles to Europe for an NFL preseason game, yet the Yankees tried to charge like it was a crucial match

Sat with seaon ticket holders from all sections in the Delta's.

Sat with seaon ticket holders from all sections in the Delta's.

I just got back from the soccer game too. Section 327 was $70 with fees. Attendance announced at just over 38,000. Seems about right. I can't believe all the soccer team shirts being worn there. Chelsey fans out numbered Paris 8 to 1. Game ended tied at 1. Some major stars did not play but it was still fun to watch. If if you were new to the soccer scene you would have thought Samsung was playing Air Emirates. The sponser name was a lot larger than the team "patch". NBA fans take note, your favorite team may be the Nets but the jersey you buy will say "Netflix". Parking jacked up to $45 for the game. Just a thought...If hardware stores or gas stations raised their price by 29% after a storm would that be illegal if not immoral? That newly laid sod was loosing it's "green" but held up nice over the infield. The field sprinklers all went on at the same time on the hour (twice). It was that concert stage in the outfield for the "Wall" that did the most wear on the outfield grass, not the soccer. I'll be at the August soccer match too. I hear Real Madrid and AC Milan both draw nice crowds too.

First I admit I was wrong about the crowd, it filled up nicely right after the start of the game and on TV it looked legit.

For the parking they get away with it by posting "Special Event" Pricing on their fee schedule. They have done it for years going back to the '80s
