Heck you pay for Cable or Satelite TV, I rather sit on my couch where I can Drink a beer and have some food and not pay a arm and leg and maybe part of you family tree for it. Just MHO..

Now on the other hand about the Yankees. ALthough it is baseball, that is the only game I think I would go see one time in New York. That would kind of be like going to Wash DC and not seeing the Monument or the Smithsonian.. A one time deal that is..

I agree, I'd much rather watch the game at home, especially with commentary and analysis, not to mention the kitchen behind me and a bathroom a few steps away.
In S Fla. we had the same attendance problem, football or baseball, because nobody was from there. I was up to going to a game now and then, but decieded I rather stay at home than ride to a getto to the stadium, then pay a fortune to park, tickets and eat.
