What does Mike Lupica care, he can pay those prices.
FWIW, I’m a Giants fan and I take an annual road trip to see the Giants play on the road, instead of in SF where the prices are rather ridiculous. I usually try and use one of my free flights I get on Southwest w/ my Rapid Rewards membership, buy my tickets for the game early—say, in March when single game tickets for that particular series is put on sale—and then make my arrangements from there.
So this year I’m going to Kansas City to see the Giants take on the Royals. I should also point out that I’m single and it’s easier for me to save money or more accurately to have money available for things like this. There’s no way I could do it if I had kids or were married.
Before you come, be sure to check with the KC FReepers to find the best places to check out and eat... They've reopened Strouds for the world's greatest Fried Chicken, but if you ask about BBQ, be prepared for a flame war... We've got the best, but some people are opinionated, and everyone else is wrong.
