The new Yankee stadium. The owner is a multi-billionaire yet he had the gall to ask the city of New York to use taxpayer's money to offset some of the costs. If you want a stadium that costs more than a billion dollars to build, then pay for it yourself. I can't stand Steinbrenner. He is one of the main reasons there is NO parity in MLB right now. There is no need for a team to cost more than a 1/4 billion dollars a season(in salary alone!). Honestly, baseball needs a salary cap and I am not just saying this because I am a fan of a team that is always on the outside looking in.
I have a feeling that if baseball continues like it is(the luxury tax is a f'ing joke) then there will be several teams that will probably fold up or relocate.
