New Yankee Stadium ...Fail!

Ah. So they just pawn off the obstructed-view seats on people who are most likely just gonna give them to someone else anyway. I guess that kinda makes sense, in a weird way. Like you said, free seats is free seats.

 

On a tangent, but...

About six years ago, I finally had a chance to make it to Wrigley Field, so I bought tickets and a buddy and I flew out there. He met his brother-in-law out in Chicago, who took it upon himself to sell my tickets and buy three together in another section.

Those seats? Behind a pole.

That was my first experience with obstructed-view seats. It will be my last (and my last experience with that guy, too).

 

Uh yeah, we know, which is why it said views LIKE THESE, not this actual view.

 

Well, Mr. Burns had done it.
The power plant had won it.
With Roger Clemens clucking
all the while.
Mike Scioscia's tragic illness
made us smile.
While Wade Boggs lay unconscious on
the barroom tile.

We're talkin'...
Softball.
From Maine to San Diego.
Talking'...
Softball.
Mattingly and Canseco.
Ken Griffey's grotesquely swollen jaw.
Steve Sax and his run-in with the law.
We're talkin' Homer...
Ozzie, and the Straw.

 

Citi Field isn't without obstructed view seats either. These are pretty pricey seats!

 

So it'll cost you another, what, $500 if you actually want to see thew whole field?

But hey, the restaurants are gonna be great.

 

Man, the Mets stadium looks awesome.

 

That's my question as well. If I remember correctly, the only obstructed-view seats in PNC Park are in the press box. Of course, with the Pirates playing in that ballpark, some fans might want their view obstructed.

 

I must be in the FRONT row!

 

So, Boom, did you end up renewing your season tix?

 

I know it'll be filled for at least the first few years, so it won't matter all that much, but I wish teams here would do what soccer clubs do overseas and spell out the team name in the seat colors.

Of course, if they did, how long would it take before some enterprising company arranged to have its name spelled out. And then bought all the seats so they stayed empty.
