Since the new stadium opened, there hasn't been an official sellout, and the stadium (capacity 51,800) has been over 90 percent full only once, on Opening Day against the Indians. Of course, teams like the Kansas City Royals and Florida Marlins would be thrilled to average half of what the Yankees are drawing.

But doesn't it tick you off when almost every action picture you see from a Yankee game is lined with empty seats?
