And you thought Fenway was expensive...

A beer at the new Yankee Stadium.

It's cheaper — a lot cheaper — to fly to Seattle to watch the Yankees play the Mariners at Safeco field (including airfare, car rental, hotel and food) than it is to watch them in the best seats at the new Toilet.

From Friday's New York Post:

Option 1: Two tickets to Tuesday night, June 30, Mariners at Yanks, cost for just the tickets, $5,000.

Option 2: Two round-trip airline tickets to Seattle, Friday, Aug. 14, return Sunday the 16th, rental car for three days, two-night double occupancy stay in four-star hotel, two top tickets to both the Saturday and Sunday Yanks-Mariners games, two best-restaurant-in-town dinners for two. Total cost, $2,800. Plus-frequent flyer miles.
