NY Yankees: Subpoena Will Cost More Than $5M

 

"We are leading Major League Baseball in attendance by a fairly wide margin," team president Randy Levine said. "Can we do better? We can always do better."

Kavanagh said he has heard complaints from constituents about ticket prices and questioned whether $100 tickets for a family of four, or $400 for a night of baseball, is affordable.

Trost countered that the team has 5,000 tickets priced between $5 and $14 and another 22,000 in prices ranging from $20 to $45.

Brodsky, who also took the stand, said he focused on the Yankees' deal instead of public financing for the new New York Mets stadium across town because the Yankees' deal was twice the cost. Brodsky also claimed the Yankees' deal appeared to manipulate the property tax assessments and had included $1 million to cover free tickets for city officials.
