There’s an attorney that makes the rounds around here so the same thing. He grabs handicapped people and has them sue delis, restaurants, etc. sad thing is I’m sure he pockets 90% of anything they get.

I went to Pittsburgh to see the Mets take on Memorial Day weekend in 2017. What an amazing experience. I bought first row seats, directly next to the Mets dugout, on stub hub for $75/ticket. Parking was in a garage a 3 minute walk across the beautiful Roberto Clemente bridge and cost $7 for up to 24 hours. Food and…

Yeah, but Shea was totally gone by opening day. I know, I was there. I also remember there being no parking issues at all. 

Which is why you don’t present the coupon until the end of the transaction.

It went up 100% in one year. Inflation doesn’t really apply. It’s gone up another 50% in the 10 years since, which has a bit more to do with inflation, but it’s still way ahead of it.

No. You are 100% wrong. Shea was gone before Citi opened, and those lots across Roosevelt Ave and at the Marina charge the same amount as the main lot. It was a complete money grab. If anything, the should have raised prices over the 2 seasons Citi was being built in a portion of the Shea parking lot. That was the…

When I was your age, in the 90s, my friends and I would drive to the game, and park in a free, “secret” lot in flushing meadows park that my friend’s grandpa taught him about. From there we would walk in across the bridge that accessed the LIRR station and the 7 line stop. We’d always buy scalped tickets on that…

At Citi, they don’t want you sneaking in booze like vodka, gin, or anything clear. At MetLife, they don’t want full bottles flying down from the upper deck. Without caps, they’ll empty out on the way.

They don’t enforce that at all, because I’ve brought in way more than 1 per person every time I’ve gone.

Actually, my only option from where I am is the LIRR, which actually ends up being more expensive than driving in. 

Yeah, they do, as long as it’s never been opened. They make you throw out anything that’s been opened.

My son loves the 10 piece nuggets for $1.49. They usually have some kind of whopper deal I take.

Did you really think I don’t already get BK coupons?

So Mrs Gruden totally bought her sons the same shirt for Christmas at Target, right?

Here is the cash grab example I always use. The cost to park during the last season at Shea Stadium was $10 per car. The cost the next season, the first at Citi Field, was $20 per car, now up to $25. A 100% increase to park in the same fucking lot.

In actuality, all they had to pay back was about $60M. That’s really not a lot for the owners of a major league franchise.

The Mets never had financial issues. The owners lost a bunch of money to Madoff, but in reality, the interest payouts they received over the years from him far outweighed what they lost. Plus, their TV network SNY basically prints money for them, and the team itself is insanely profitable. That said, The Wilpons have…

I think it assures that they won’t be re-signing Wheeler. I think Noah said he absolutely plans on exploring free agency, so they probably won’t even have a chance to extend him.

Not officially a roommate, but I lived in a 2 room suite in college (two rooms of two with a common room and bathroom) with 3 guys I played hockey with. It was the first weekend of spring break and my roommate and I had already gone home on Friday, but our suitemates we’re staying until Sunday, so they went out…

This is great, until will find out Syndergaard is being traded to Cincinnati for guilting the Wilpons into opening up the checkbook for Jake.
