Apparently, these were the prices back in 1923 for the opener at the old Stadium.<br /><br />This is a nice gesture, but it would have had a bit more impact if it was the first regular season game. This is yet another aspect of these exhibition games that are going to take away from the regular season opener. <a href="http://nyystadiuminsider.com/2008/11/its-official-cubs-to-open-up-new.html">I may or may not have gotten up on this soapbox before. </a><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Talk about it in the <a href="http://nyystadiuminsider.com/forum">NYYSI Forums!</a></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3661694879786695933-7651070883062898361?l=nyystadiuminsider.com'/></div>Rosshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16724781471985795927noreply@blogger.com1
