NO WAY Headlines of The Day

PLAY BALL, a look at stadium prices!


The Major League Baseball season has officially begun, which means a lot of families will be planning a day at the ballpark in the coming months. Unfortunately, that also means a lot of those families will have to dip pretty heavily into their wallets, because going to an MLB game these days doesn’t come cheap.

GoBankingRates looked at all 30 Major League stadiums to determine the most and least expensive parks in the country to catch a game. They considered a day at the park to consist of two tickets (the price was calculated by taking an average of the three cheapest season ticket options and dividing it by 81 home games), two hot dogs, two beers and parking.

Overall, catching a Yankees game at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx will set folks back the most, at $90 a game, with $42 of that going to the tickets, $6 for two hot dogs, $12 for two bears, and $35 for parking. Meanwhile, the Colorado Rockies Coors Field is the least expensive at only $50, with $20 going for tickets, $10 for hot dogs, $6 for beers and $14 for parking.

While traveling in Italy, a 12-year-old Ohio boy with Down syndrome gets a chance to meet the Pope and gets a special ride in the Popemobile.


Peter Lombardi really wanted to meet the Pope and to be kissed by “that man in white,” as he described him. And now the 12-year-old, who has Down syndrome and has beaten cancer, finally got his wish. While traveling to Italy, he met the Pope and even got to go for a spin with him in the Popemobile.

The Lombardis got the chance to be in the front row at Wednesday’s weekly general audience with His Holiness thanks to a connection their tour guide made. The Pope noticed Pete and had his security guards bring him over, then he kissed the boy on the forehead and told the guards to bring him around to the back to catch a ride in the Popemobile.

"I just stood there in shock and then I started crying," Pete’s mom, Brenda explains. "Lord, you never stop surprising us.”
