My take on Citi Field/Shea Nu. Like to see some minor tweeks.


If you plan on touring the park this weekend before the Red Sox vs Mets exhibition games make sure you give yourself enough time. It could take you 1-2 hours to tour the entire park

If you need the latest Mets garb and viewing the JRR it might take you 30-45 minutes to just get through the Rotunda, take pics by the huge blue 42 and stand in line to get in the New Mets “mega store” .

First off the Wilpons did a awesome job with the park. Over at the
Daily News you can read Fred comments which include “There were thousands and thousands of people in the (Jackie Robinson) Rotunda taking pictures of the No. 42. It was really heartwarming.”

Now there are some items I think it would be nice to see the Mets address starting with the darkness you feel when you leave the rotunda and make your way in the concourse in the field level . Gone is the view you get from behind the plate that I grew to love at Shea. That was a perspective that I loved . Now the field level view behind the plate is gone since you need access to the Ebbets field club seats to see it. The concourse is very dimly lit and the ugly weather we had on Sunday did not help.
