It must still be fairly expensive to vacation down there for months at a time and still have to maintain property up here..

In Vancouver we used to go to Nate Bailey Ball Park and watch the triple a games. You get to see the stars that are on injury reserve and next years rookies and we got some really good games. $10 would get a ticket, 2 dogs and a pop.

I've been to several hockey games when I was young still living in Toronto, friend of my brothers used to get free tickets to NHL and Junior hockey games..back in Maple Leaf Gardens. I've never seen the inside of the new arena ..

It was only $2.50 for an prebought ticket and there was a deal that if you bought 10 tickets and donated them to the kids n games program you got in free and your company would eventually get on the thank-you list.

I would never pay the price to see a game live plus you see more on TV...

That is true but there's nothing like being at a live game. No one spells beer on you.
