Is Disney Putting Squeeze on Fans?

I attended the Angel-Dodger Freeway Series game on March 27 in the renovated Big A. The renovation job on the stadium appears to live up to everything that has been promised. The preseason billing promised seating now directed toward home plate. What they don’t tell you is that they have “crammed in” an extra five to eight seats per aisle. Now every adult fan (unless you have the physique of Celine Dion) is sitting cheek to cheek in the most uncomfortable manner.

This is just another attempt by Disney to squeeze every last dime out of the consumers’ pocket. Going to see the Angels is going to be just like going to Disneyland--cram 75,000 people into the park designed for 45,000 and walk around bumping into one another the entire day. Never again, Mr. Eisner. Keep up the fine work and enjoy your next multimillion-dollar stock option. Walt Disney is now turning in his grave with a rotisserie.
