This makes perfect sense because Japan has the world’s oldest population and only old people watch baseball.

More like people are choosing to purchase food over entertainment.

I don't bring my kids to Minute Maid, even for LSU games, because of the food costs. Tickets - 22 each at club level. Two beers and kid food and ice cream, $135. Not including parking.

the food costs
Brother, I feel you on this.
A buddy and I have season tickets to Alabama basketball games, and during random weeknights it used to be a thing for us to just grab something to eat there, like Dreamland nachos (which has their BBQ meat on top).
It was delicious, and HUUUGGE. Perfect sporting event splurge.
But since COVID, the "nachos" now consist of a pre-packaged bag of chips, a cup of cheese sauce, a cup of jalapenos, and a small amount of meat in foil. The drinks are bottles instead of souvenir cups.
And now those "nachos" are $15, and a soft drink bottle is $10, before tax.
So we just hit a bar on the strip instead or avoid it altogether rather than paying thirty bucks for that garbage.

You say Alabama and nachos, and I get stricken with the fear that there is white sauce somehow involved.
I can fly my kids to Europe for not much more than it costs to pay for seats, food, and parking (yah, I know it's more, but there's Europe, and 3 hours of watching your kids ignore everything.) So, I'd rather have the experience of my 6 year old spit up an oyster in Barca into my hand. Never, ever forget that. And yeah, I'm bringing it up at her rehearsal dinner in 15 years.
Almost nothing from an MLB game is going to be brought up 15 years from now. Will I talk about what happened with Brad Cresse until the day I die? Sure, but I was at home watching with the crew.

It’s outrageous. Growing up we went to games at the Astrodome. Prices weren’t bad but my dad was a real penny pincher. He’d pack us some sack lunches and we’d eat those in the parking lot before going in. Occasionally he’d splurge on a bag of peanuts then go find us a water fountain because the idea of paying for drinks was foreign and absurd.

Hey man, the Astros only have 159 games to go, get into it!
