Do not use the URL as the displayed text. Pick something more meaningful
and contextually pertinent, like "Yankess Seating Pricing", and put the
URL in the <a> where it belongs.
But since that "ain't gonna happen" (your visitors are highly
inflexible) you are stuck with a deformed layout.
Or you can add arbitrary spaces to the URL every nth character but then
the URL text cannot be copied/pasted.
