Money and MLB
The Red Sox are also a case study for what a few posters upstream talked about. Their business plan appears to be to maximize the amount of money they can separate from you, and they will throw in a baseball game as a freebie. Stopped going to the Fenway about 5 years ago - a couple of hundred bucks to take the family, park the car, buy dinner. It just isn't worth it - the value just isn't there. BTW, that's heresy in this neck of the woods - hope I don't get burned at the stake!
Can add the AZ Diamondbacks to that list, they've been discussing for a long time the need to reduce the seating capacity in the stadium. They are already considering moving to a new (smaller) stadium once their current lease expires. I'll be going to my first MLB game in about 10 years next weekend, the Red Sox will be in town. Of course the Red Sox home (Fenway) is probably the blueprint showing how profitable a small stadium can be.
