Box Seat Schmucks

While watching the Red Sox-Yankees game last night I was struck by something very noticeable.
With the Yankees rallying in the middle innings, the crowd was quiet. Not the entire crowd but much of it, especially those rich jerkoffs sitting in the massively overpriced box seats from dugout to dugout.
The people in the bleachers were on their feet, clapping and cheering, imploring the Yankees with all their hearts to pull off the comeback.
The people sitting behind home plate? Nothing. They were just sitting there looking bored. Some were on their cell phones or sipping drinks. Others were just sitting in their plush seats. No one was clapping or yelling. It was a dramatic difference from what was going on in the bleachers.
I was disgusted watching it.
The old (real) Yankee Stadium was LOUD. The fans were on top of the field and it was an intimidating place to play. It was so loud and exciting and was a great home field advantage. I know, I saw an untold number of games there, first in the original stadium then in the renovated park.
I've never seen a game in the new stadium but I can tell, just watching on TV, that the place is much more quiet than the old place. The new ballpark is too nice and comfy. The rich folk show up and just watch the game. Just another reason why I miss the old park. The new place is simply a giant mall/theme restaurant looking to suck dollars out of people's wallets. Baseball is just a backdrop for many of the people who go to the new place. It makes me sick.
