The Yankees need to hire some off-duty canine cops to patrol the “suites”. The dogs’ deterrent effect on misguided 10 year olds who are disrespectful of the empty “suites” and brazenly attempt to get close up views of their idols cannot be underestimated.

I agree with Jason 100% on this.  The concrete “moat” around the “suite” seats next to the field is an egregious display of the caste system that’s now in place at the new Yankee Stadium.

I’ve been a Yankee fan since I was a kid and the arrogance that the Yankees have been showing their fans leaves an incredibly unpleasant taste in my mouth.  I can’t even begin to guess how much money I’ve spent on Yankee tickets, merchandise, concessions, etc in the past 15 years but I know that until things change, the Yankees will not get another cent of mine.  I’ve already said that I won’t be going to the new stadium this year, but I honestly think that I’ll never see the inside of that place.  I won’t go even if I’m offered free tickets, I’ve already turned down a bunch of them so far.

The way they’ve handled everything is REALLY making me question my allegiance to that team.  I know that we root for laundry, but at what point does the management of the business end push away the lifelong loyal fan?  I love this team, but my allegiance and loyalty to this team is waning quickly and frankly, it sucks.

egpglp—Hurm. I have a lot of complaints about Newsvine, but I haven’t yet experienced comment posting problems (unless you count bad comment content in that category).  I’ll check it out.

Len, the question is this…would you actually be able to switch teams???  I don’t know if I’d be able to.  Allegiance to the sport comes first, team second, but how do you start rooting for a team other than the one that you’ve loved since childhood?  I don’t know…these are the issues I’m struggling with.

Hargrove should never be allowed to manage a baseball team ever again. Anyone who quits on a team like that in the middle of a season should be blackballed for life.
