CitiField Impressions

CitiField the New Home of the Mets is everything I could of hoped for and so much more. The building pays homage to the birth of the Mets. The building looks like Ebbets Field the home of the Brooklyn Dodgers. The green seats and exposed blue metal is a tribute to the Polo Grounds home of the New York Giants. But don't think for a moment that this building is not 120% the home of the Mets.


When you walk into the Jackie Robinson Rotunda you are entering a sacred space. How fitting the museum opens in a year our country moved beyond color in electing our President. The 42 statue, the chance to walk in Jackie's cleats, the historic photos and moving quotes set the stage for the rest of Citi. As you ride up the escalator and take a look back it is a triumph.


The open concourse allows you to see the field as you walk around the building on the concourse level. No ushers telling you to get back to your level No trying to stick your head into the tunnel just to have the Usher ask you were your seats might be no it is a true communal experience with great sight lines throughout. I love the Hells Gate Bridge location we will be standing on that bridge watching important at bats unfold.

The food is 100% better then Shea and guess what it is cheaper. Great options from some of the city's finest culinary minds. Micro brews just for the stadium that match up with the food choices.

Our Sunday pass seats are in the Promenade section (a nice way to say upper deck) in the outfield. We can not see home runs over the Right Field wall but it is what you give away to be much closer then the upper deck at Shea. My seats are equivalent to the Mezzanine section at Shea and they were very reasonably priced.


All in all the place feels like home. It is warm yet still impressive without being overdone. You can feel all the memories yet to be made and during the season it is going to get crazy loud. Let's Go Mets.
