First Game at CitiField.

I just want to start by thanking the Wilpon's and the Tax Payers of New York for such a fine field for our ball team. Though we may not have taken the Shea out of the team we have certainly taken the team out of Shea.


The group for the game included two other Mets Fans and a Yankee fan. One of the guys was a partner in my tickets in the lat 90's early 00's. He went to the Grand Slam Single Game with his brother, the other member of our group. Then last night he admitted that he did not remember what team they played during that game in the rain many moons ago. (It is OK Tony you do not resent them for missing that game it was cold and you would of gotten sick, it was cold an you would of gotten sick, it was cold an you would of gotten sick.)


The Yankee fan and I have been friends since I was 4 and he was 5. We spent many a day arguing about our teams. His favorite player Lou Pinella mine Lee Mazilli. The first word's out of this Yankee fan's mouth when he saw the new building was "wow I have a good feeling about this place" and his praise continued during the entire experience. (Except for the Boneless Buffalo Chicken - Not enough meat too much breading.) He is going to the New Yankee Stadium in a few weeks and I can not wait to get his thoughts on the buildings. You see though he is a Right Winger and a Yankee fan I will always respect his opinion.



On the way to the game we discussed flow problems. As well as the Flat Tax, Value Added tax and the intricacies of the Laffer Curve and of course baseball. With all the grif field has been getting on WFAN we talked about CitiField and all it's strong points.



1. Intimate Feel

2. Great Focus on the battle between pitcher and catcher (The game within the game)

3. Pepsi Porch
4. The ability to walk around the open concourse and follow the action from multiple locals.
5. The Bridge
6. The Fan Walk

7. The Rotunda

8. Great Choice of Beers (Brooklyn Lager anyone)

9. Green Seats with extra Leg room

10. Great Amenities

11. Waterless Urinals


To make a long story short everyone was impressed with the building. If you do not like this building something is wrong with your head.. Seriously you have big problems.. Shea Stadium was a dump I can not fathom how you can complain about this place or God Forbid want Shea Stadium Back!



Our seats in the Promenade reserved Section 538 Row 5 are some of the most controversial because you can not see a bunch of left field. The positives of this seat outweigh any negative about not being able to see that part of the field. From our seats we could call balls and strikes that is how awesome the view is of the battle between the pitcher and the hitter. The folks in the upper part of the promenade have great T.V's and the ability to if they are not happy with the view get all the way down to field level and find a location that better suites the way in which the want to watch the game all for an average price of under $20.00 for those tickets it is a steal!



The Game.

• Delgado's shot
  
• Maine The sinking of the Maine (Anyone Else worried about the starters)
  
• Fan's should never touch a ball in play (Cost us a run and I hope he was kicked out)

• Castro should play more

• Really wanted to see Sheff hit 500

• Frankie did not need to pitch the 9th

• Heath Bell is really good. Damn

• It was not Strike 3 to end the game what a joke

• When your team does not win it does not matter were you play it still sucks
