      In theory it's a great idea.

      I just don't agree that something like this should cost a fan $12,000.

          It's going to sell out, so your argument is pretty pointless. Hell, they could probably get $20,000 a pop for this thing. It sounds like an incredible experience!

              I wonder what the age group is like?

              Because I do have $12,000. Only problem is how my parents would allow me to spend it.

                  I've got the money and I'm sure many people do, but no way I'm spending it on this. Sounds cool, but definately not worth that much to me.

                  It also probably costs 12K because my guess is they're paying for the flight, there are operational costs and other things.

                      You know you have a good job when others have to pay thousands to experience it.

                          This is why I hate turds like Gary Sheffield, who act as if they don't even wanna play the game, yet they get paid millions to do so. If I was psuedo wealthy, I would pay for that in a heartbeat.

                              I'm not a big fan of Sheffield, but I don't know if that is fair to say. He played through a real painful injury a couple years ago where he couldn't lift his arm above his shoulder, and didn't miss many games.

                                  Of all people you name Gary Sheffield?

                                  Actually pay attention instead of reading what idiots have to say about certain players.
