My good friend Barbara and her husband have season tickets to the Mets. For the record, I am not a Mets fan, nor am I a Mets hater. But the Mets played the Yankees this weekend and Barb invited me along to the game on Saturday. I was looking forward to seeing the new stadium. I had been in Shea twice as a kid, but that's only because a) my father was a Mets fan and took us one Sunday and b) I went with friends once to see the Yankees play at Shea when Yankee Stadium was being renovated. I was just invited-or should I say "dared" to go see the Yankees play in Boston with a friend who lives in Massachussetts. Sure, I'll go....wearing riot gear and holding a big German Shepard on a leash next to me!
Anyway, Citi Field is a nice stadium. Our seats were on the left field side.....
in the "promenade" section", which by the way probably translates to "in the clouds" or "close to God"..
We were up there, but there was people further "up there" than we were. It is roomy downstairs at field level where most of the vendors are. There is a really cool "bridge" that connects each side of the stadium behind the outfield so there is total access around the stadium at field level.
This sign above the Shake Shack is from the original Shea Stadium.
Sorry for the Dude who walked in front of me at the last second. There's an area that has picnic tables so you don't have to drag your food back to your seats...allll the way back up to your seats...in the clouds, or close to God....
The stadium looks nice all lit up in the night.
It was a great night...especially for me since the Yankees won 5-0. I'm really not gloating you know, because I'm not a Mets hater!
Great photos
