    Moddy,
    I may be going to NYC to see one or two of those games. If I go, I'm hoping for freebies, it depends on job status.

    That has an Spring Training look to it, sad.

    I don't think it's sad at all. I think it's hilarious. It's not like those seats wouldn't be filled at a decent price, like at Citi Field:

    But, but ... I heard John Sterling on the radio say there was another packed house of more than 50,000.

    Yup, then in the ninth he said "a packed house of more than 50,000" on their feet cheering for Mariano.

    45,101 was official crowd.

    opening day was 48,271 and they called that a sellout in a 52,000+ ballpark. What?

    Can't comment on the mojo yet, but I can't believe how beautiful this place is. Half hour before game time, seats are more than half empty, maybe everyone is in the concourse buying sushi and eleven dollar beer. That upper deck looks like you would need oxygen masks, not climbing up there to find out.

    Watching the game on FOX, there is a whole section down the first base line that's empty. Is that "Millionaire's Row?"
