ballpark review

CITI FIELD - Flushing, NY

nationals vs mets - april 25 2009 - i may have been the only person in america that was sad to see shea stadium go. but that only lasted a day or two. now the mets have a fantastic new home and shea is a parking lot. citi field is cozy and comfortable and it is a very nice place to enjoy a game. the seats are all close (if not blocked by railings that are just a little too high) to the field and there is something to do or see seemingly everywhere you look. the outfield is huge, which makes the new, much larger apple a bit of a rarer beast. maybe it was the fact that this is the first mets game i've been to that wasn't brain-meltingly hot or subjected to freezing rain, but i had a great time.
