Fan’s take: Make way for the Milwaukee Brewers (Associated Content)

Cardinals fans, Cub fans, move over, you won't have to worry about saving up to buy World Series tickets this year. Pirate fans, you haven't mattered in a while. Reds fans, your team is a one-year wonder. When I grew up as a Milwaukee Brewers fan, we were in the toughest division in baseball, the American League East. The scrappy Brewers had to scratch and claw to stay competitive with the likes of the the Yankees, Red Sox and Orioles. Now the Brewers find themselves in the National League and competing with the free spending Cubs and Cardinals.

A Sad End to the Stadium

It’s a tough year to be a Yankee fan. With a $200 million payroll, the seats aren’t the cheapest MLB tickets, the beloved stadium is closing and the team has underperformed.

But New York Yankees tickets are still very popular with most games sold out. With the 56,000 seat Yankee Stadium closing, fans want to come one more time to the place that gave them so many memories over the years. And that may mean going to a New York ticket broker to visit Monument Park or do the roll call in the place they always have known and loved.

But it’s going to end very soon. With only seven games left, Yankee fans will say one last goodbye. It will be sad because there will be no October for the team either. If the fans want World Series tickets they will look to New York Mets tickets or Boston Red Sox tickets.

Many won’t and will forget sports until they gets New York Yankees tickets to New Yankee Stadium next year. Rather they will >find Broadway musical tickets, concert tickets for Madison Square Garden or Cheech & Chong in New York.

Whatever they look to do, these show will be more affordable New York City event tickets than the New York Yankees.
