Please review my site design

Before I mention my URL, I should mention I am a programmer and very much not a designer, so brace yourself...

I redesigned my company's web site a little over a year ago, and the first goal has been getting the site to work efficiently for our existing customer base, and so we have been focused mostly on functionality. I know from a design standpoint it could use a lot of work, and I would appreciate any suggestions you can offer. Any changes, things you like/don't like, suggestions on where to start, etc, will be most appreciated.

My URL is: Philadelphia Eagles tickets and Philadelphia Phillies tickets - Ticket Warehouse

- I am not a fan of liquid design when the text lines become way too long (wide) when I go to full screen.

- I think the text on the homepage is too small. Firefox under Mac OS X on an Apple 23-inch monitor.

+ The navigation is clean.
+ The look is slightly cheesy, but I think that actually helps.
+ Contact Us all the requisite info.

Dave, thanks for the input. What would you think if the text had a maximum width? When the browser window was opened wider than the set maximum, the paragraphs were to stay at the max width and center itself in the content area? This way it would still remain fluid for the table data, but the text might be more comfortable to read. I know its hard to say without an example, but I have to come up with a way to code it first. Also, is it all the homepage text that you find too small, or is it more the text in the table?

The centered text is better. Could be a little wider. I have found that 600px or less is about the equivalent of a standard piece of paper.
Try increasing the font size by 20% and increasing the leading.
