This isn't a high end hotel or restaurant ... this is a baseball park. Aside of being 15 games out of first place maybe this was why the place was 20% occupied.
$15.00 Parking
$ 9.00 Hotdog
$ 9.00 Can of Coors light
$17.00 Mixed drink

Does any of that money go to the team?
...because it certainly fits with all these forty, sixty, and ninety million dollar contracts they're paying these guys to swing a bat and catch a fly ball.
I'm not really much of a baseball fan, but I do keep up on MLB highlights every day, mostly because of my dad who IS a huge fan. He being from Montreal was always an Expos guy but since they moved to DC he's been a Bluejays fan.
I could see the Jays winning it, they certainly have the talent, the offense and defense, but I just don't yet know if they have the chops to go the distance. They're Canada's only team so I won't be too harsh on the whole "fairweather fans" thing. If they make it to the world series much of Canada is going to rally around them, it's that simple.
