Citi Field A-Z of information

The new park will open in a little bit more then 48 hours from now when the Mets open the gates for a dry run with St Johns playing Georgetown. Of course this is now weather permitting with the threat of rain now forecast for sunday.

The Mets have finally installed a kind of Citi Field Directory A-Z about the ins and outs of the park along with dimensions, parking, tailgating info and other goodies . Below are some of the highlights.

Dimensions.

Playing Field Distances:
Left Field - 335 feet
Left Center - 379 feet
Center Field - 410 feet ( I thought it was suppose to be 408?)
Right Center - 383 feet
Right Field - 330 feet
Height of Walls (Change height 7 times):
Left Field foul pole - 12' rises to 15' 8½"
Center Field wall - 10'10" rises to 16'
Right Field under porch - 18' 6½"
Right Field foul pole - 8'


There are 5 clubs slash restaurants.

Delta Sky360 Club
is located directly behind home plate, on the Sterling Level.

Ebbets Club
Caesars Club
Acela Club Located on the Excelsior Level

Promenade Club Located on the Promenade Level

The outfield fan fest area which will be a hub of activity

The 2K Sports FanFest is located on the Concourse Level in center field, and is fun for the whole family. Centered around Mr. Met's Kiddie Field, a scale version of Citi Field, the 2K Sports FanFest features a batting cage, base running challenge, dunk tank, (who should be first in the tank?)video game kiosks, a live DJ and more! Mr. Met has also been known to make a daily appearance. Weather permitting, the 2K Sports FanFest will be open 2 ½ hours prior to ever every Mets home game, and will remain open until the 7th inning.

Please check the link above more info about Citi Field/Shea Nu. Can you believe no more Met dollars? What fun is a gift card!
