I think it's $1200 for the whole area. Not per seat. So it's like $100/ticket and that includes $30 of food and beverage. Not a bad way to get a little dedicated area to hang out with your friends.
Well, you did have Mookie, Pedroia, Nomar, X, Youk, Devers, Ellsbury, JBJ, etc come up through the Red Sox farm system and win a bunch of world series, so I would say it worked out pretty well for Boston...
What makes you think that Seattle would have accepted Polo + someone in the 10-20 range for one of their SPs? I am thinking they would have wanted Polo + one of the top three prospects + more.
