I am actually jealous of Wrigley for it's $4 score cards and lack of obnoxious music. Who do we have to vote for to get our beautiful organ back?

For some reason I got left off of the majority of these replies. ----- I sincerely hope that the Cardinals make a strong effort to keep certain amounts of premium tickets (or for that matter, just ANY tickets) available at a family-reasonable price. The cost of going to a game at all has become largely cost-prohibitive for many individuals, much less a family of four. After parking, tickets, a soda and a hot dog, the cost quickly racks up. I was spoiled as a youngster, always getting to go to two games per year on season tickets of one of my parents' employers. Little did I know how luxurious a benefit that is, until I started footing my own bill to go to games. The Cardinals are going to draw 3 million fans year in and year out, it's pretty much a given. Costs are going to continue to rise, and I expect ticket prices to do the same. But if the Cards expect to maintain a certain payroll level and their mid-market status, it is imperative that they remember that their paying customers are working with mid-market income. Thanks Pip. In the interest of finality, I thought I would add an actual, worthwhile response. For some reason I got left off of the majority of these replies.
