I'm 25mi south of the Little League World Series fields, where admission was free last time I went and dogs/cokes were $1.

I love going to ball games, and attend high school games a lot. Usually, I get paid for photographing the teams. The last time I went to a Dallas Cowboys game, I was so far up I couldn't see the players, and ended up sitting in my seat watching the game on a television I could see in one of the luxury suites.

I love my Cowboys, but I watch them on television from home, now. I go to high school and sometimes college games.

BTW, in Texas, some of the snack stands make home-cooked fajitas, or set up a grill outside and make great cheeseburgers. Every game is like a family reunion.

The Yankees filled their stadium at that price, and if they'd charged less, the scalpers would have just picked up more profits. A guy like me can't afford to go to a big league game anymore. That's the way it is. Okay, actually I could afford it, but I'd have to give up something else and it's not important enough to me to spend $400-500 bucks and fight traffic to get there.
