Beer in Yankee Stadium this year has become prohibitively expensive:
Thirsting for some suds? Fork over $8.75 for a Miller in a 20-ounce plastic bottle -- up a quarter from last season and roughly $4 more than the 16-ounce pint at your neighborhood bar.
For just $1 more, you could get a monster 24-ounce Heineken or Fosters for the bargain-basement price of $9.75. Good ol' Bud on tap will run you $7.75 -- also up a quarter from last season.
Some fans cried foul over the modest increases
"It's unbelievable. I pay less in a strip bar," said Denis Broderick, 30, as he bought $60 worth of beers for his pals. "However, when you are trapped in there, they got you."
"It's expensive, but when you're at the game you've got to pay," agreed Rob Hickey, 26, of Hartford, Conn., who split $100 worth of beer with a pal. "But when Jeter hits a game-winning home run in the bottom of the eighth, you don't mind."

I was there tonight. Got excellent tix from a freelance broker, ninth row up from the field, right behind the Yankees on-deck circle.
These seats come with wait service. Buy a beer this way and it'll cost you $9.50, tip built in. And it's nothing good -- Anheuser-Busch swill products (we got one Bud Select). Regular self-serve is $8.00 according to the menu.
Yes, it cost a bundle, but I'm fairly certain this was my last visit ever to Yankee Stadium (and the dear wife's first and only), so what the heck. Adam Sandler and Kevin James were two rows BEHIND us.
