All I can say is as a diehard Yankee fan that is currently watching the 4th game of the World Series at 10 PM EST, I have no choice but to express my wholehearted support of Jimmy Rollins and his comments regarding Citizen’s Bank Park as being more “rowdy”(and having more soul) than the new Yankee Stadium.
Anyone who isn’t a bank executive or an oil tycoon is gonna have a tough time attending even a regular season game at Yankee Stadium with the new “Inagurual Season” GOUGED THROUGH THE ROOF new stadium prices. It’s disgusting. If you’ve been to the new stadium, you know what I’m talking about. If you haven’t been and you just want to argue with me for no apparently sensible reason, buzz off.
The Yankee Brass has insensibly and greedily priced out the average, working class and necessarily rowdy(and most helpful to a championship,thanks Jimmy; Oh and I’m also aware that this is technically a run on sentence) true Yankee fan.
I couldn’t tell you how much a Philly playoff ticket in “field level” would cost, but as I’m sure they don’t have a “legends” section as does Yankee Stadium(which certainly prices out the pesky commoners) and wouldn’t come close to the exorbinant prices which are charged there.
You’re not gonna see Esquire J. Executive going nuts in the first few rows of Yankee Stadium in a playoff, or less importantly regular season game of Yankee Stadium. This is mostly due to fear of his job; also don’t forget his concern of falsely and unnaturally exceeding his personality restraints.
I watch a Phillies game and I see a packed house full of passionate baseball fanatics which haven’t been priced out by greedy owners and interests. Watch a Yankee game, the empty seats(Yes, even in the playoffs it seems) even in the front rows outnumber the baseball fans by an embarassing count. The remaining few who could afford to spend 1k on seats to sit and stare like tranquil thorazine drones or the people texting, forgetting that baseball even exists are a true testament to what Yankee Brass values: little in the way of baseball passion and support from a fan and tons in the way of boatloads of cash.
In large part, those of the current Yankee “fanbase” which inhabit the field level and call themselves “legends” are a lifeless deadzone of inactive molecular waste which you will for the most part not see behaving in such a manner at any other Major League team’s games.
If the Phillies have an advantage in this otherwise evenly matched series, it lies in the hands of the fans; those lucky enough not to be required to have blood on their hands in order to get decent tickets for a reasonable price.

Oh, wait- youre trying to be funny or something, right? Im right arent I? Yeah… well you keep on tryin, Jeff!
