  1. A stadium seat

    Price Range: $300 - $2,500

    "When Yankee Stadium was renovated in the early 1970's you could buy the seats through JC Penney. In fact, my grandfather, who in the 1950's had clergy passes to the Polo Grounds, Ebbets Field and Yankee Stadium, bought a double seat for his porch. Over the years, those seats have been re-sold routinely at auction. Singles usually sell between $1,000-$1,500; doubles $1,500-$3,000; and triples $3000-$5000. This April at Sotheby's we sold a double seat recently taken from Yankee Stadium and signed by the 2006 team, as well as a Yankee engraved presentation shovel commemorating the ground breaking for the new stadium. These items had originally been donated to Joe Torre's "Safe At Home" Foundation. They sold at our auction for $8,750, halfway in the $7,000-$10,000 estimate. My guess is that these seats will sell anywhere between $300-$2500, depending on whether their singles, doubles or triples. With a little padding though, they could go for more."


  2. Who owns the stadium?  I thought that the city did and that the Yankees were the prime lessee.  As such the city would receive benefit of the sale of any appendages of the site.
