A Bit of Western New York at Fenway...

Big News! The Red Wings will be facing the Paw Sox at Fenway Park this summer. Considering that tickets for the series already on sale are either sold out or very near so - this may be our only chance to see baseball at Fenway for the whole season.
My only question now is...what will the prices for these games be? You know they wouldn't have a game (even if it is an A-Ball team from Oneonta) that wouldn't pull in a profit. Do you really think that the ticket prices will be low enough to (according to Mr Menino) "Open the doors of Fenway Park to many fans from across the city and throughout New England,” ? Or will they be snapped up so fast that normal fans (those not willing or able to pay the $9.95 for a silly membership card to join Red Sox Nation or not able to spend days in line in the cold or hours waiting at the computer) won't have some access to tickets? Anyways - at $23 a pop for a bleacher seat - who can really afford to go to Fenway? Give me the Worcester Tornadoes with the $2 to park and $6 tickets anyday.
If you are one of the lucky ones able to go, it should be a good time, though. And yes, Mom and Dad - you can stay with us when you go to this game - and NO - you won't have to sleep in the basement.
