NY Stadiums head to head
By Frank Solares
Through four games the Yankees have an attendance of 181,607, averaging 45,401 a game. For all the arguments and the crying about the 2600 dollars seats the team is actually out performing the team in Flushing not to mention the rest of the league.
Bankrupt Field (Citi) is averaging 36,907 fans, not going crazy or saying anything out of the ordinary, the Yanks are the Yanks and well... the Mets are the little brother. Most people are excited to see the 26 time champs, over the team that played at the old toilet bowl in Flushing. Even the blowout coverage on Saturday had a higher rating than Monday nights home opener against the Padres.
We can sit here and debate who has a better team, a better pitching staff, better hitters, or even what star shines the brightest in the big apple. Despite that all the attention that the Homeruns get every day, give the Bronx Bombers must see TV or Must see Live.
All the bad press that the stadium are getting makes people think that you must get a second mortgage to attend the stadium. Just from a different perspective lets give the fans the truth for ones.
5 dollar Seats
Yes on several occasions the Yankees have 5 dollar seats night. A total of 12 games can be purchased at that price, teams like Oakland, Tampa, Baltimore, Seattle, and Washington Nationals. According to Yankees.com (The $5 Games Ticket Special can be purchased at Yankees.com, Yankee stadium ticket office, Yankees Clubhouse Shops, Ticketmaster outlets and Ticketmaster telephone (877)-469-9849)
Other Seat Sales
In all the Yanks have Family Games Ticket Special, Tuesday Night Games Ticket Special, Military Personnel Ticket Special, Senior Citizen Games Ticket Special, Student Games Ticket Special, Youth Games Ticket Special.
Not to mention 14 dollar bleacher seats, 23 dollar grandstand seats and countless of seats ranging from 30 dollars to 150 dollar field tickets. So we can sit here and cry about the 2600 dollar legends seats or follow the team from 98 percent of the stadium.
Bankrupt Field
At Citi field you can enjoy the Mets for as little as 11 dollars per seat per game in the bleachers and the most expensive ticket will only cost you 225 dollars. To be totally honest we did not find any family or kid promotions. We looked all over and did not see any additional discounted ticket promotions not that they dont have them, it might be something you need to ask.

The truth is that both teams are paying for most of the Stadium. Despite what you might read or here from the world wide leader, these teams have enough fans to pack the stadiums on a nightly basis. The prices are still affordable enough that you can take your family out for a great time.
My wife, my sister Tania and 3 kids went to see a Broadway play and we spent over 350 dollars. So don't tell me you need a second mortgage to see the Yanks play. IT IS JUST NOT CORRECT!
