Premium Seats @ Yankee Stadium Remain Empty

[ESPN/AP] reported that there were still swaths of empty seats in the premium seating section in new Yankee Stadium.

While I was watching the Angels/ Yankees game tonight, I noticed that the entire premium seating section at new Yankee Stadium was completed gated and enclosed. It's basically it's own island sort to speak. It's pompous and disgusting that they separate the really rich fans from the rest of the stadium.

Just 23 of 50 $2,500 seats in the first row between the dugouts were filled in by the top of the second inning of Thursday night's game against the Los Angeles Angels. In the third inning, the entire third row was empty in section 20 behind home plate.

What the Yankees did eliminate were the nearly empty $500 sections down each foul line. Those areas, which were nearly devoid of fans during the final five games of the opening six-game homestand, were half-filled Thursday.
