I consider myself a casual baseball fan and used to enjoy seeing a live game or two each baseball season. My local NY teams have built new stadiums in recent years and the costs to attend a game have skyrocketed since the new stadiums were built. Hence, l haven't attended a game in over five years.
First, the cost for NYC bridge and NYC tolls and stadium parking fees put me in the hole over $55 USD before any other costs are factored in. Nose bleed seats in the far back rows of the upper deck are nearly 30 dollars each. The ticket costs in an area with a decent view of the game are too rich for my blood. The costs for a beer, hot dog or other food and beverage items are egregiously overpriced and generally unhealthy.
I realize it is supply and demand and others willingly pay the prices, but the costs have exceeded my value threshold.
