ESPN Outside The Lines - $1,200 seats at Yankee Stadium, how did we get here?

New Yankee Stadium is the Dubai of baseball stadiums. In New York there’s no such thing as the cheap seats. Sure New York is full of Wall Street types, celebrities, tycoons and other people that generally have more money than they know what to do with, but what about the people just like you and me?

Here are a few things you could do with $1,200 rather than blow it on one night behind home plate at Yankee Stadium:

  1. Pay your $100/month iPhone bill for a year
  2. Buy two $70 tickets to every Denver Broncos home game in 2009 (available via StubHub)
  3. Cover a part of your body in tattoos
  4. Buy an iMac/two Mac Minis/two unsubsidized 16 GB iPhone 3GS’s
  5. Buy two ice cream trucks
  6. Buy 50 $24 tickets to Baltimore Orioles games
  7. Start an expensive hobby, like photography
  8. Become a monk (free)
  9. Join a cult (also free)
  10. Fill your bathtub with one dollar bills and roll around in it like you’ve always wanted to do
