Bleacher Bums is MLB FanHouse's look at those oh so fun fan adventures.In due time, there's a very real possibility that
fans will be able to purchase bits and pieces of Yankee Stadium, from stadium chairs to the scoreboard to actual bricks. In the meantime, though, trying to take home bits and pieces will not only result in getting arrested but also having your season tickets revoked.
That's a lesson two fans learned this week when
they allegedly tried to steal decorative bunting, damaging both the bunting and the facade in the process:
Yankees Chief Operating Officer Lonn Trost said there would be no leniency for fans trying to take a piece of history.
"This type of destructive behavior will not be tolerated from the first game of the season through the last," he said.
They got a stiff penalty, but considering more than four million fans are expected to attend games this year, the team is better off setting a strong example now or else face the possibility of the stadium slowly disappearing into thin air over 81 home games.
