The last MLB game I went to was the Padres at Jack Murphy Stadium (Qualcom) They were playing the Pirates. It was at least 14 years ago. The guy I went with bought 2 beers and some nachos and 2 hot dogs. He gave the guy a $100 bill. All he got back was coins for his change. I remember we looked at each other and laughed. I would hate to see the prices now a days. Heck I like being at home watching.
Had been on a self-imposed sabbatical from major league baseball, but was still an avid follower of the teams.
Honestly, there's nothing more beautiful than coming up the concrete inclined hallway and being struck by the sight of green grass, black dirt, white chalk lines, blue skies and white clouds and the American flag waving in the distance.
back to reality....it costs a bloody fortune to attend these games as you pointed out.
I went to a CAPS game a few years ago with my son. Two beers and 2 roast beef sandwiches on the Club Level.....{{{drumroll}}} $98.00
It's strictly economical here...and the Obama Regime and sycophantic media can't hide it. They'll try to ignore it, but in this culture...what's going to happen here is the unconstitutionality of blacking out markets due to profit and loss of the teams' bottom lines.
It's the only way to keep the mob quiet.
