One of the suspended fans, Austin Capobianco, expressed his disappointment that his brother and his friends were not able to use their season tickets in his place.

“The ban on tonight’s game was expected, but the fact that my little brother and his friends can’t use our season tickets tonight has really pissed me off,” Capobianco said in a text message to NBC News. “It’s not like they can move on to the next game.”

It appears the organization had other, healthier plans for those now vacant seats, as a very deserving young fan and his family will have great seats for Wednesday’s game.

“The Yankees and Major League Baseball maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward the type of behavior displayed last night. These fans will not be permitted to attend tonight’s game in any capacity,” the Yankees said. said in a statement On Wednesday.
