I'll be back the day it doesn't cost my family of 5 $400.00 to watch ONE GAME and enjoy ourselves with some concessions and decent parking.

I have never been to a MLB where it cost my family $400 to get in and out of there. Try half that......with beer every inning, and enough food and soda to keep my crew happy. Hell in Florida at The Ray's game we went to back to back nights, sat right on the field and enjoyed ourselves for under $400 for 2 games.

In 2008, the greatest group of all time....THE Dave Matthews Band had an average ticket price of $140 a TICKET.......really?????? REALLY!!!! What happened to the days when I could go see a concert for $15/ticket. Try gettin the average family of 5 into a DMB concert without breaking the bank. Good luck there. In 2009 DMB sold $60 MILLION worth of concert tickets.....and from 2000-2009 they sold $529 MILLION. HALF A BILLION DOLLARS WORTH of concert tickets. SERIOUSLY DAVE....you NEED that much money. You had to sell tickets for an outrageous price. You greedy bastard.

It is no different if you can hit a ball 400+ feet consitantly, throw a perfect TD pass at 50 yards.....or make the next super computer.....or sing songs for thousands of people. YOU WANT ALL THE MONEY YOU CAN GET. I'm not saying its right, but as long as people walk in a ballpark, a hockey arena, or a concert arena, or want the next greatest computer/cell phone......people are gonna get rich.
