SRO tickets for ND-Army at Yankee Stadium cost...

[Screw_Michigan]

...$175. Keeerist.

At least you could get in the lower level for ND-Navy at the New Meadowlands for $100 and actually have a seat.

What is this world coming to?

That is flat out ridiculous. If you want to go to Yankee Stadium, why not just wait until baseball season?

Army-ND is not a good game. It has no intrigue other than the fact that it is played at Yankee Stadium. Heck, Illinois is playing Northwestern at Wrigley but tickets aren't going for anything like that.

I would pay no more than $10 to see a game like this. If I want to go to Yankee Stadium, I will go during baseball season.

And it's at New Yankee Stadium, which is two years old! Jamming a football game into a brand new baseball stadium and trying to slap any sort of historical-ness is totally laughable. Just have it at the fucking Meadowlands, again.

But the real question I have is this........

Will Derek Jeter- he of -4.7 UZR Gold Glove fame- be in attendance????

don't forget the new Yankee Bowl. Dec 30, Big East #4, Big XII #7. woo hoo.

i suspect tix will be easier to come by for that epic tilt.

$175 for ND-Army tickets would have made more sense in 1946 than today. That's with inflation being taken into account.

The thing that is most insulting is that these neutral site games at baseball stadiums have turned into even bigger cash grabs than they originally were because of the astronomical prices of these new ballparks. I bet IU/NW at Wrigley will be expensive, but not astronomical like Army-ND. And I'm still wondering why SRO for the Army-ND game is almost twice as expensive as a lower bowl $100 SEAT, that's a SEAT, at ND-Navy at New Meadowlands.

The way I understand it, it has to do with a relatively small seating capacity combined with high rent that Yankee Stadium is charging to host the game. That being said, there's a bowl game scheduled for Yankee Stadium next month, I wonder what SRO will cost for that game. If it's anywhere near $175, you can probably forget about anyone buying a SRO ticket unless they get a matchup along the lines of Nebraska-West Virginia or ND-Texas.

I see some lower end tickets going for 50 bucks. Not terrible, but as a neutral party I wouldn't pay more than 20 bucks. I might swing up there after the MSU game and see if someone will scalp me a ticket on the cheap. I think since Northwestern will be without Persa and Illinois went in the tank it's doable.

My guess is that this is an ND "home" game so they want to maximize the green going into their pockets.

It's an Army home game. If it was an ND "home" game they'd be playing it at ND Stadium, as per custom.

Check your facts. This is one of the barnstorming games that dipshit Kevin White came up with. Just like last year against Washington State in San Antonio. ND will wear their home uni's (green this week), the game will be on NBC, ND will get the home portion of the gate and the NCAA will treat it as such for official visits.
