To me, if you pay $1 or more to go to a game AT THE PARK, then you should see the whole field. This is unacceptable and an insult to fans. The Indians have a joke where you can win 3 seats behind the scoreboard. I have a feeling that the greedy Yankee Management would try to sell something like that.GoTribenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297014613661913479.post-61634717540947951392009-04-03T23:17:00.000-04:002009-04-03T23:17:00.000-04:00I may make my way out to the bleachers tomorrow. ...I may make my way out to the bleachers tomorrow.

If anyone travels to Wrigley and is offered a ticket that actually announces that the view is obstructed, just go and watch the game at one of the bars across the street.<BR/><BR/>The Cubs do not consider a seat to be obstructed unless the obstructing post is in your lap. If the post only obstructs part of your view, it won't be considered as such.<BR/><BR/>Its crap, but they know someone will buy the seat, as the Yankees know that someone will buy these bleacher seats.SixRowBrewCohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15384682912021974745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297014613661913479.post-48914250466481748242009-04-03T18:00:00.000-04:002009-04-03T18:00:00.000-04:00maybe they put in obstructed view seats for that v...maybe they put in obstructed view seats for that vintage-ballpark feel, like in the good ol' days. you know, when the boston beaneaters would come to town to play the highlanders and you'd have to sit in outfield seats with views obstructed by beams and A GIANT RESTAURANT AND LOUNGE.<BR/><BR/>what an embarassment. if the yanks don't win a championship this year, can we start a "curse of the Mohegan Sun Sports Bar?"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297014613661913479.post-39284551095190477092009-04-03T15:04:00.000-04:002009-04-03T15:04:00.000-04:00For what it's worth: I roamed all over the stadium...For what it's worth: I roamed all over the stadium yesterday, including the bleachers.
