It's the most expensive stadium - ever! The place is equipped with several bars, clubs and restaurants. Indoor batting practice is available. There's indoor parking for the players! There's also an individual laptop at each locker in the clubhouse. I'm sure that all of this will help the Yankees win ballgames!
In these tough economic times, there's money to be made, too! StubHub.com has sold more than 5,000 tickets at an average price of $400— $20 higher than the average for the final game at the old Yankee Stadium last year. It’s StubHub’s ninth best-selling event by dollar volume, trailing the old Yankee Stadium finale (No. 6) and last summer’s All-Star game at Yankee Stadium (No. 4), and the resale prices have ranged from $65 to $5,883 per ticket.
That’s quite a leap from the opening of the original Yankee Stadium on April 18, 1923, when a man was arrested for trying to scalp a $1.10 grandstand ticket for $1.25.
