We have an empty building built w tax payers $$. This year they borrowed even more tax $$ to build "Club Red"
They kicked out all the season ticket holders behind the players bench and offered those seats to corporate buyers for huge amounts of money. They also get access to exclusive clubs and restaurants during the games.

Watch the next home game and you will see a sea of red empty seats
