Around the horn
A business journal in New York City estimates that the Yankees will quickly double their annual revenue when they move into their new stadium next year. Field-level box seats are expected to run as high as $2500 per game, with individual luxury suites commanding upwards of $850,000 for each of the 81 annual home contests. Yet none of this has prevented the team from asking taxpayers for an additional $366 million in tax-exempt financing. Ted Stevens would be envious of the proposed deal.Mohegan Sun Casino, of Uncasville, CT, will lease space for a sports bar just beyond the fence in centerfield. Does this mean Major League Baseball will let bygones be bygones with Pete Rose?
