"I have discovered in 20 years of moving around a ballpark, that the knowledge of the game is usually in inverse proportion to the price of the seats"

About this Quote

This quote by Bill Veeck recommends that the more expensive the seats are at a ballpark, the less knowledgeable the people in those seats are about the video game. This implies that the people who can pay for the more costly seats are not as enthusiastic about the video game as those who can just afford the more affordable seats. Veeck's experience of 20 years of moving around a ballpark has actually taught him that the people who are most passionate about the video game are generally the ones who can't pay for the more costly seats. This quote is a pointer that the people who are most passionate about the game are typically the ones who can't pay for the more expensive seats. It also acts as a suggestion that the knowledge of the video game is not always connected to the price of the seats.
