Yankees "Losing Money" on #150???

[ngineer]

I heard that the NY Yankees are 'perplexed' that they are unable to sell most of the suites and super boxes for #150. All tickets have been sold out per the allocation to both Lehigh and Lafayette (approximately 45,000). The remaining 10-11,000 tickets can only be accessed through the Yankees. They anticipated being able to sell many of the suites and super boxes to alumni of both schools; however, it so happens that most of the corporations that use the suites and super boxes are populated quite heavily at the top by alums of both schools who have simply 'reserved' them under their annual lease plan. I just like the irony of the Yankees losing out on making a 'killing' as opposed to getting their 'standard' rate from the existing clients.

couldn't be happier. god damn jim leyritz

And they couldn't see this coming? I'd bet LFN's press pass that there's a Lafayette or Lehigh alum (or both) in top management at every single company that owns a lux box at Yankee Stadium. Also a lot of them are owned by big law and by wall street - which are swarming with Laf/Leh alums.

Since I am one of those guys in a private suite along with a bunch of friends and family, I am not surprised that alums and fans are getting boxes and suites via contacts. Doubt Stadium losing money,just irked that they might not make as they anticipated.

I'm still AMAZED that he hit that home run.

Enjoy your suite at the Charleston River Dogs park. BTW how ironic is it that the River Dogs are a Yankees farm team?

[citdog]

I'm still AMAZED that he hit that home run.

I'm still AMAZED that Mark Wohlers allowed himself to get beat on his 3rd pitch.

I think Metanoya might be a MplsBison clone. I'll have to look for that Annoying Orange graphic.

Repent!

So you're trying to say that Lehigh and Lafayette alums are... smart? Who knew? xlolx

[DFW HOYA]

Take the bet. Most of them are H-Y-P alums.

[carney2]

Still doesn't explain why the additional 10,000 or so tickets have not been released.

[RichH2]

Yanks are selling balance thru Stadium box office starting Sept.

[Bogus Megapardus]

Take the bet. Most of them are H-Y-P alums.

Been there, worked there, 20 years. Lots of Harvard College/Harvard Law/Harvard MBA ("Trip H"), Notre Dame w/ Chicago/Booth MBA or Northwestern/Kellogg MBA or Notre Dame Law ("Double Domers"), Dartmouth or Brown w/Duke Law, Princeton Undergrad w/ Columbia Law/MBA or NYU Law/MBA, MIT/Sloan School, Fordham Law and Georgetown Law (both much more prevalent than Yale Law or Penn Law). Yale and Penn here and there but not what you might guess. Lafayette is represented way beyond proportion to the size of the school and there were probably two Lehigh alums for every Lafayette alum.

We had a lux box at Giants Stadium and at Shea Stadium and we shared a box at (old) Yankee Stadium. The Giants Stadium box was in my portfolio of responsibility and I held the key.

*Sigh* If only I had been their "peer" . . . . xrolleyesx

[carney2]

afayette is represented way beyond proportion to the size of the school and there were probably two Lehigh alums for every Lafayette alum.

Probably because there are 7,100 students at Lehigh (4,900 undergrads + 2,100 graduate students) vs. 2,500 at Lafayette (all undergrad).

[Bogus Megapardus]

Of course. That's exactly the reason.

[carney2]

Of course. That's exactly the reason.

Just sayin'. Not sure that all that many on this board are aware of the size discrepancy of almost 3:1.

So, if you wander to your TV at about 3:30 on November 22nd remember to root for the little guy. It's the American way.

But giving credit where it's due, there are indeed a lot of Lehigh alums in Big Law and Big Finance and Big Media and Big Corporate in New York City. Just as there are a disproportionate number of Lafayette alums.

And yes, everyone here obviously should be rooting for Lafayette in #150. We're the little guys, the underdog, the Humble Little College on the Hill.

Also Lehigh Sux.

Some of us are well aware of the many disparities, Lafayette is little in so many ways.

At least Mark Wohlers never killed anyone.

[Go...gate]

I'm still AMAZED that Mark Wohlers allowed himself to get beat on his 3rd pitch.

One of those times in Baseball where the far better team did not win. I don't know if the Braves got flat, or what. They should have won that World Series in five.

Probably a few Colgate grads here or there, too. Agree that you see a lot more Fordham and Georgetown Law grads than Yale, though lots of Penn and Columbia as well. Might even be a few Dickinson School of Law alums, too. : )

And my heart bleeds for the Yankees, it really does. xrolleyesx

Not PC to be snarky about any "haves"nowadays :) They are the chosen ones.

Oh, no question they still make money, just not at the rape amount.

What do they all have in common?

I thought there were only 4-6000 tickets left?
