Highlights include renaming VIP entrances :“First Base VIP will be named after Hodges to honor the manager who led the Mets to their first World Championship in 1969. Third Base VIP will honor Seaver, the Hall of Fame pitcher and Mets leader in wins, earned run average and strikeouts. Left Field VIP will be named after Stengel, the first manager in Mets history. The outfield bridge will be dedicated as Shea Bridge”
Also The centerpiece for Mets memorabilia will be the Mets Hall of Fame & Museum, located adjacent to the Jackie Robinson Rotunda and accessible from both inside and outside the ballpark
The Mets will also reform the hall of fame committee and will include Marty Noble and Gary Cohen on the committee among others.
About time they did some of these moves. It should have been done for 2009

Love the Shea BRIDGE IDEA AND THE hALL OF fAME WAS WAY OVERDUE. hopefully Rose and Cohn have alot to do with the display process as well
NOW LOWER THE FENCE TO EIGHT FEET, PAINT THE OUTFIELD WALL GREEN AND MAKE CHANGES TO SIMULATE SHEA STADIUM. THE METS MANAGEMENT DID A GOOD JOB RENOUNCING ANYTHING TO DO WITH SHEA STADIUM AS WELL ALL THE HISTORY OF THAT BALL PARK. MAYBE THEY CAN PURSUADE ALL THE FANS THAT WERE OFFENDED BY THE RIDICULOUS STYLING AND DESIGN OF CITIFIELD TO EMMULATE THE 1940S AND 50S. 99% OF THE METS HISTORY WAS DONE AT SHEA NOT THE POLO GROUNDS. THE METS ARE THE METS, NOT THE GIANTS OR THE DODGERS.
