No offense but why have a Jackie Robinson rutonda?? Why not have a Mets HOF museum or something of the METS? Jackie was good and all but he was a bum..a dodger!
Citi Field is honestly a great ballpark. At first I really didn't like it, but when I went back a second time I realized how nice of a ballpark it was. It has a very friendly and kid-friendly environment. Yankee Stadium I heard is more like a museum, just a cold feeling stadium. With all the columns and gold plaques and all. I think Citi Field is one of the nicest Ballpark's in baseball. 8/10.
Because you idiot shea was falling apart and if you look at Citi Field you will realize it is a Baseball only park unlike Shea , it was for both football and baseball. Citi Field will be so much nice just wait and you will see. I am on Mets fan who think Shea was a dump.
now it's gone and there is nothing i can do about but really the stadium looks bland at least shea had a unique look but i won't be cheering for the mets because the Braves will win the Al East
Red Sox fan here.That stadium is awesome.You guys outdid the Yankees big time.They're stadium is so bland and so vanilla.Mets and Twins did right with their stadiums.Awesome.
lol, just to let u guys know the only reason u guys dont appreciate the new Yankee Stadium is because they decided to go back to the old look of the old Yankee Stadium. I think thats really cool, the mets on the other hand, had absoultely nothing o refer back to in terms of an old stadiumtherefore, you just had to follow the idea of building a "modern stadium". Besides, seeing the Yankees spent $1.3 billion dollars on a new stadium with old looks, they couldve EASILY outdone any new "modern"park
exactly my point and im not a mets fan at all, im a twins fan. why would you build an exact replica of the stadium you're playing in? why not spend less and just renovate the one that you are in? even if you do have billions to spend on it
farmlandballa10, the reason a team like the Yankees couldnt renovate is because of the fact that they had already renovated it, not to mention the Team Officials had made it clear that the stadium was in worse condition than the eye could see, therefore, a new stadium had to be in order. Dude the Twins new ballpark "Target Field" looks amazing, and like the Rangers ballpark, but when it comes to the new Yankee Stadium, nothing is more intimidating and impressive than the white frieze or "facade"
im just saying that it is a cheap, phony yankee stadium. well, not cheap lol. whatever, i would still ove to visit NYC someday and watch the twins win the pennant against the yanks lol jk. i wish. but watch out for us in the future. we are the youngest team in baseball and came 1 game away from going to the playoffs
Why? Can't call the new stadium Shea, there's only one Shea. So what would have been ideal? Jackie Robinson? He played ball for a team that is currently in Los Angeles. Did you want to have a ballpark in Queens named after a player whose team left Brooklyn so unceremoniously? Be realistic. I don't see anyone calling the Yankees sellouts with the deal they made with Addidas. Even the tarp has the Addidas logo. That's a sellout, if i ever saw one!
im a yankee fan but i will be honest citi field looks a lot better than the new yankee stadium..the new yankee stadium is very dull and very boring it looks more like a musuem rather than a baseball stadium
I'm not a Yankee fan but Citi Field is not that creative either, it's another one of those bullshit bought out names that takes away some of the great stuff from baseball.
Well someone needed to help pay it off. And how can it take away from baseball? It is modeled after Ebbets Field, a legendary park. And I'm sure they didn't want to have a corporate sponsor. They wished for it to be named after Jackie Robinson, but to no avail.
I'm a yankee fan, but this is looking better than what the yankees have going. I wonder how much tax money is being used to finance this private business.
i am not a mets fan but this is isane!!!!! i love how it looks like ebbits field on the outside. restraunts?!?!?!? the only thing philly has is harry the k's and mcfaddencs which both suck.
yeah its crazy. he just has that voice. the mets have good commentators. the yankees guys suck. i try to watch their games sometimes but i cant cause the commentators are so annoying
the new ballpark is going to be a piece of crap. where are all the fans gonna sit? :( oh yea that's right if your not filthy rich you won't be able to go to the games anymore
but citi is better than all of the new stadiums coming up. the yankees is basically the same thing, the twins look like county stadium, the devil rays is just weird and the nationals is decent but citi is the best. the name sucks though
I live in California and wish I could make it out there to see Shea before its gone forever,. Yeah its a dump but its our dump. So many great and bad times there,it will be sad to see the old place go.
No offense but why have a Jackie Robinson rutonda?? Why not have a Mets HOF museum or something of the METS? Jackie was good and all but he was a bum..a dodger!

why would the mets build a smaller stadium
this is NOT a true ballpark. shea was and will always be better than citi field and it looks like mostly any other stadium too

It is smaller but shea was originally for football and baseball and it was falling apart. Citi Field is going to much nicer.
nick92065 3 years ago
for a popular team, would you expand the stadium or make it smaller?
shea stands out and fit the mets better

Oh please, spare me the dramatic promotion. It's not a fucking spaceship, it's a cheap ass carbon copy of every other new stadium.
Most real fans will never get to sit anywhere close to the field and would be better off, finacially, just watching the game on TV.
