$11.75 for a beer and $7 for a hot dog. Pretty impossible for a working person to take their family for a ballgame like my dad took me in the 70's.

The $850 million baseball park was funded with $615 million in public subsidies. If an airport can only charge "street price" + 10%, why should a publicly subsidized stadium be any different? I guess gouging families at as baseball game is OK, but not an airport traveler.
