It's funny, I didn't think I'd like the Outfield wall color but it's really growing on me, the orange highlights are really making it pop.

AdropOFvenom Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 (edited) *** Food at Citi Field http://*******.seriou****s.com/2009/03/first-look-at-citi-field-food-concession-stands-baseball-mets-shakeshack-danny-meyer.html Never thought I'd see the day where I might want to head out to the ballpark for a good meal, but just looking at the pictures is making me hungry. Just one small correction is the Shake Shack and similar "Taste of the City" food courts are located behind CF, not Home Plate. Edit: What the hell with the censors? http://n e w * *r k.serious e a ts.com/2009/03/first-look-at-citi-field-food-concession-stands-baseball-mets-shakeshack-danny-meyer.html (Remove the spaces) Edited April 1, 2009 by AdropOFvenom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old ballpark like the one before the ruined it in the 70's? No. I wasn't there, but if you where, you're going to LOVE the frieze around the whole grandstand.

Yeah, I started going to games as a kid around 1965-66, maybe 10-15 games a year. Always Bat Day, too, with my best friends, as the bats were what we used on the sandlots of Staten Island. I hated what they did to the Stadium in the 70s. Plus, it sucked going to Shea for games for a year and a half. I can't wait to take my son this summer.

Home. The Mets’ shiny, new clubhouse awaited. And as Carlos Delgado poked his head inside at about 10:55 p.m. Thursday, he surveyed the sheer size of it all and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the big leagues.” His teammates, arriving at Citi Field fresh off a flight from Florida that landed two and a half hours late, followed suit, each more mesmerized than the next.

PS17 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I have a feeling Im going to like the old Stadium much, much better. Me too, and I'm a Yankee fan. Maybe pictures don't do justice. I'll wait til after the Cleveland series to reserve judgement, I'll be at the Saturday game. I think Citi Field actually looks better.

nyjunc Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Why? CitiField is nice but it's a tribute to the Giants and Dodgers. The Mets don't have a history like the Yanks(no one does) but they have enough history to honor their past but they seem to like to honor the past of 2 teams that ran out on New York.

I don't see how it's a tribute to the Giants, appears its only a tribute to the Dodgers, being that Fred Wilpon is a Dodger die hard, that shouldn't surprise anyone.

The color scheme inside is NY Giants colors and the fence at the gates has the old NY Giant NY logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
