Want to go to the All-Star Game at Yankee Stadium?
I guess if I were 10 years old I would want to go, but as this story on Newsday.com points out, I'd have to spend a lot of money. And the game doesn't start until 8:30 or so, so i'd be asleep by the third inning.
Are a lot of people out there in Final Score-land excited about the All-Star Game being here? I guess it's a big deal, but it's not like you can't see these players on TV 100 times a day.
$250 minimum. I would pay that to see a Super Bowl. Maybe a World Series game. I have paid more than that to see a World Series game, come to think of it. (So don't give me the "you're a sports writer and you get to go to the games for free" line. Doesn't apply here.)
But the All-Star Game?

Depends on who's paying.
It's the National League and the American League.
That's who's playing, Jim. :)
Anthony, do you have any info as to the number of tickets available for each group -- the public, Yankee ticket holders, and MLB. I was especially curious in trying to figure out if Bloomberg's statement of $100 million to the economy was the usual politician babble or if that number had be estimated with some degree of accuracy.
ProfG,
Good question, but, no, I dont have that info. Im sure there will be economic benefit, but MLB estimated it at nearly $150 million and Bloomy said $100 million. So usual politician babble is probably right.
Wow, poor reading comprehension on my part. Yikes.
