Citi Field pictures from today. Going to be a great place to see the Mets







The weather was not great to spend a day at the park but that did not matter because the weather really did not hold many people back from taking there first peek at the Mets new park. All I can say WOW!!! This place is going to be great to watch our Mets go for the playoffs this coming year. Everyone I think thought comparing this park to Shea is apple to oranges.

I did not take alot of pics due to the weather but you can view My citi field pics

There are still some things that need to be completed,like the retired numbers need to be placed and also the banners from the championship seasons, but the minute you walk in the rotunda and just look around you know your in for something special. They have 2 large flat screen tvs up top playing clips form Jackie Robinson's career as well the big blue 42 behind the stair cases.

When you take the escalators up to the field level you can really see how impressive the rotunda is looking down.


It was something to remember knowing you were one of the first people ever to see the New Park . When you walk around you notice the concourses are huge. The site lines are impressive. The food was just mostly basic today. Every stand had a limited menu and from what I was told that should all change for fridays game. Every where you looked people were talking in the concourse and there was still room. There are so many places to socialize. The outfield area is great and you get such a great view from the bridge in center field.

Also it is very easy to heckle the opposing team in the bullpen. It was great seeing the apple and also the Mets skyline. The kids will have a ball in Mr Mets field that has batting cages and a dunk tank for use in the summer.

The excelsior level had the Caesar club open for everyone to see and alot of people were lounging in there saying out of the cold damp weather. The level has 2 bars out in the concourse that you can just sit around and grab a beer away from the crowd if you want.


This will be an exciting summer to watch the Mets in there new park and I can not wait to get back there next weekend .


The seats we had were alone the right field line and were directed in towards home plate. More leg room for us taller people !!!
