What can a quarter buy?

A gumball.

A handful of Mike & Ike's or M&Ms from one of those Shriner's candy dispensers in the lobby of the bank.

A bleacher seat to the Yankees/Cubs first game at the new Yankee Stadium.

I wish I lived in New York.

The price of a bleacher seat for the exhibition openers at the new Yankee Stadium will cost far less than a soda.

The Yankees said Tuesday that bleacher seats for the games against the Chicago Cubs on April 3 and 4 will sell for 25 cents and grandstand tickets will be $1.10. That matches the prices for the opener of the original Yankee Stadium against Boston on April 18, 1923.

Field level seats at the 52,325-seat ballpark will cost $45-$50, main level $20-$45 and terrace level $20-$35. Full season-ticket holders will get the seats for free, and those who bought partial season-tickets will be given a presale.
No way this is backlash from the bad economy/CC Sabathia/we-made-the-taxpayers-pay-for-OUR-stadium thing right?

For once the Yankees get some good PR. Mets, your move.
