  • the jersey warehouse . c o m (no spaces) sixty dollar officially licensed, embroidered nfl, nba, mhl, mlb jerseys.

  • the orange represents the giants and the blue represents the dodgers. the location of shea stadium is where dodger stadium was going to be built but they moved to los angeles.

  • 30 or 40 years? Really? Come on!

    Thats nothing. Fenway was been up almost 100 years and there is no way they are thinking about knocking that down.

  • @annshshs 10 years ago they were all out with tearing it down.

  • LETS GO METS!!! WHOOOOO HOOOOOOOO ! BEST BASEBALL TEAM EVER!!!! VOTE THIS COMMENT UP TO THE TOP lol

  • just sucks the shea went away ( years they played there and demolished )

    1. Polo Grounds 1891 - 1963 demolished 1964

    2. Shea Stadium 1964 - 2008 demolished 2009

    3. Citi field 2009 - present ( the previous 2 were legendary :( )

  • SORRY !! mr. wilpon it's not going to be the same.

  • shea stadium was nicer all it need was to be cleaned once in a while

  • Citifield is architectural more of a ballpark then New yankee Stadium which is based on cathedral grandness of old Greek stadiums. which is fine too. Do wish Citifield had HUGE ass Diamond Vision screen it is amazing.

  • yankees satdium is beter i would no i play there

  • check out my mets parody song

  • GO PHILS

  • yeah go phils...go to hell

  • Why dont they just rename his team the NY Fake Dodgers.. STupid owners model a stadium after the dodgers who are new in LA whereas the mets have a richer history by winning more championships since thier expansion

  • Ahhh well if it isnt that fake NY franchise Hey mets whose your daddy???? Peace to the New York Yanks and Joe Girardi....

    26>2

  • Comment removed

  • The Mets are a disgrace to NY

  • Um.... you guys are the ones who needed a Federal Bailout to pay for your stadium and are in 2 Federal Lawsuits against the City of New York and we're the disgrace?

    Try winning a Championship where there are more than 12 teams or without buying umpires or without juicing your team with steriods.

  • well its the end of the season. you look like a idiot. yanks in first about to clinch the east and the mets are about to be sitting at home. the YANKEES own NY

  • GO METS, but I will miss sweet old SHEA

  • WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY

    METS SUCK

  • yupp thats why they lost to my padres who lost 99 games last year hehehe

  • padres SUCK

  • LGM! citi's going to be a great home for the greatest franchise in the league!!

  • can't wait to see citi field.

    got tickets for the mets-sox on april 3.

    LGM!

  • home to the 2009 world series champs

  • I don't care who anyone roots for, but for Phillie fans to make fun of Mets fans because the mets choked the last two years is ridiculous, the Philles have only been in 3 World Series since the 1870's, come on give me a break! The Mets didn't start until 1962! We've been in 4 and won a couple! Almost beat the "Great" Yankee teams of the 90's in 2000, so shut up Philly fans.

  • Mets will choke again@

  • Ever notice that on every Mets video there is some Philly fan putting in his 2 cents. Thats becuse Philly knows its a 2nd rate city to New York. Its called small man syndrome. For a city that finally wins a world championship after decades of losers, I mean they had to rally around a fucking horse back in '04 LOL

  • That's 'cause phillies are envious and losers ,if it wasn't for Rockie nobody would know Philadelphia exists.

  • HAHA its rocky Mets IQ=17 HOW CAN YOU NOT SPELL ROCKY HOW DUMB ARE YOU?  And i just wanted to see the stadium but after reading the retarded attempts by mets fans to make them feel ok inside because phillies are the DEFENDING WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS and you are embarrsed that your team was "the team to beat"-Beltran i had to add my two cents in. All i have to say is you can talk all you want, on april 8th 1 team will be recieving rings and the meticans can watch the phillies recieve their rings

  • Go ahead, cheer for the Phillies. You know New York is a better city. There's more things to do, more people, more class. New York's crime rate was only a fraction of what Philadelphia's was last year. When the Giants won the Super Bowl, it was a nice ceremony. The Phillies fans went on a rampage after they won. So enjoy your measly sports team, New Yorkers will be enjoying everything else. (Including a better stadium)

  • New York is such a better city that the giants play in New Jersey first. Next clearly a new yorker who didnt watch the phillies celebration because i was in the middle of the sea of people where there was barely any destruction at all. Philly just knows how to celebrate like the fact that estimated about a million were at the giants superbowl parade. While over 2-3 million at the phillies parade. And seriously crime rate? What is this a criminal justice debate. Typical fist pumpin new york goon.

  • Im not a Giants fan but I have to agree with you. The Phillies seem too obssesed with trying to out-play the Mets.

  • Fuck wilpon he is a fucking moron. Shea should have been still up.

  • 12,000 fewer seats, that is unfair. It they would have kept the same amout. Fine However, all that money spent , then 12,000 fewer seats. What a shame.

  • Ok, first off, all those "mets fans" out there talking about "Citi Field" don't talk shit about it. Yeah i understand alot of history came behind Shea Stadium. But a field should not determine your likings/dislikings about a franchise. Follow the team and franchise, and then become a Met's fan. I will talk so much shit to whatever Met's fan out there if we do take division champs in 2009/2010 season.

  • As a Met fan I have to say, yeah the Mets, screwed up big time the last 2 year, however the Phillies have been around for what? Like 130 years? and have won 2 World Series same as Mets, that came into existance in 1962...don't brag phillie fans, you have so much losing in your history it is so pathetic to even wrap your brain around....

  • since we've all been watching for 130 years.......

  • 2009 Mets first year at Citi Field will also be the 3rd year in a row they finish behind the Fightin' Phillies.

    WORLD FUCKING CHAMPIONS

    Eat it Mets fans.

  • Oh man, talk about choking huh? Didn't the Yankees miss the playoffs last year too? $423 Million you spent, and I CANT WAIT TO see you blow up in the end of the season. No chemistry, and an injury prone starter hahahaha. Suck it you bandwagon faggots. Oh and Phillies fans Phuck off and die.

  • lol just another place for my phills to kick ur ass in ha ha gold luck chokeing again they should make CHOKE the offical soda of the mets loooooool go phils world phucking champs suck on it met pussies

  • geez talk about in their heads huh?

  • spic-tacular!

  • Need-A-Life!

  • mets are chokers lol...2 years in a row...go yankees

  • ...2004

  • A construction worker said this at the end of the video, "This is something they're (the fans) are going to love for the next 30 or 40 years." -Ok so you're telling me Citi Field will ONLY be around for 30-40 years? Thats it? You spend $800 million on "Citi Field" and expect it to last 30-40 years? Damn, Yankee Stadium lasted 85 years and they didnt have great technology to build it with from the beginning. Im a Yankee fan, and to hear Citi field is expecting to last 30-40yrs is hilarious.

  • He means that the stadium amenities will be up-to-date for about 30-40 years.

    Eventually, Citi Field will be another old, outdated stadium, but it's going to be around may longer than 40 years.

  • what a shit staduim this is! i envey the yankees new ballpark, as a mets fan this is jst a state of shit, shea was home for me.

  • from what's i've seen and heard it really is a beautiful stadium. mixes the old ebbets feild aches with state of the art newer features, excellent sight lines, and very aesthetically pleasing. all the seats are black but the rails and siding will be bright mets orange, very cool.

  • Live interview with the Adam Rubin who covers the Mets for the NY Daily News/SNY-TV live at 10:30amEST on January 24th,2009 from N.Y.C on The Mass Appeal WBTR sports talk radio...Google 'Jay reelz'for any of our archived shows..We have guests on every week.Show is on every Sat.10:00am-12:00pm EST..Check us out!!

  • Aaron=FAGGOT who doesnt know shit about baseball

  • Dang I don't know shit about baseball, that's news to me.

  • stay out of phillies videos alright

  • fuck u

  • how about fuck you christhedumbassleader . stay out of mets videos . stop with the friking phillies . we all get it ok .

  • phillies can suck my culo u losers (10,000 loses..more than any other team in MLB..and in sports)and lack of world series(2 in about 150 years)

  • Yeah that annoyed the hell out of me.

    Besides the old stadiums having a history behind them now eventually all stadiums will just be corporately named.

    So score one for the Yankees on that.

  • Yeah and they were offered with many new names while buidling the new stadium but they ignored them and just kept it as Yankee Stadium.

  • tats bullshit zsumz99 cuz the mets are getting K-Rod and fx up there bullpen. Also, getting rid of Arron Heilman and Scott Schowenweis.

  • Before this past post season, when did the Phillies win the World Series?

    The answer is 1980, that was the only other time the won it in the six times they went to the World Series in the history of the Phillies franchise. The Phillies have been around since 1883. The Mets have been around since 1959, and won two WS's as well.

    So, no one's jealous of your Phillies, though I do pity you for being so insecure that you have to come onto this video and act like a fool.

    Good day sir, and gg.

  • wow, internet douchebag 101!

  • the new stadium of the mets is a disaster they cant even dicide what to name it so SHEA STADIUM IS STILL THE BEST AND PHILLIES AND JIMMY ROLING AND OTHER PHLLIES BITCHES SUCKS IDC IF THEY WON THE FUCKING WORLD SERIES AND THE ONLY REASON THEY WON IS BECAUSE THEY FACED A TEAM THAT NEVER WENT TO A WORLD SERIES BEFORE SO YEA PHILLIES SUCK

  • If the mets were sp good how come they weren't in the playoffs. Oh wait I know. Their bullpen sucked. Well guess what? Your team shouldn't have committed 4 years to Billy Wagner. You NY fans are a joke. If your team isn't trying to BUY a championship then you think they're not TRYING to win a championship

  • Its too bad they have K-Rod now, the Mets are a total joke. eertrallod please do us a favor and not put down NY sports fans because clearly you dont know sports all to well.

  • Another pathetic attempt to buy a championship

  • The Phillies are pathetic.

  • I think it's past your bed time. Who is more pathetic? The world champions or the overpaid non playoff team?

  • Both teams are overpayed. The Phillies are pathetic with their interest in wanting the Mets to lose.

  • It's because the mets and their fans were always so arrogant in the last few years even though they didn't really win anything. so now that the shoe is on the other foot we're reminding them that what goes around comes around

  • I think you have us confused with the Yankee fans. They are the arrogant ones and nobody can deny that.

  • haha good answer dude! I think we all agree on that one!

  • listen up you stupid fuck phillies are the same shiit as the mets im a die hard mets fan and year after year either the mets or philiies fuck up so fuck off yuu fucken philly prick

  • yeah phils really fucked up last year...

  • how is buying a stadium another attempt to buy a championship????

  • no one ever said that a new stadium was trying to buy a championship......what are you talking about?

  • you put "another pathetic attempt to buy a championship." How is it ???

  • That was in response to the guy talking about k-rod. The metsalways try to build a team through free agency by overpaying for guys whenever they become available. Nothing wrong with a new stadium though. Unless you're trying to build a billion dollar monstrosity like the yankees or dallas

  • oh okay yeah i know exactly what your talking about now and i agree with it yankees always build a team through free agency too.

  • yeah man. at least the mets havesome good homegrown talent in wright and reyes.

  • Yeah they came out of their farm system rather than the yankees who just depend on free agency

  • I have been a Mets fan all my life and I have put up with tons of nonsense because of it. But this piece of garbage I won't tolerate. I will never step foot in that stadium.

  • Thats alright. I feel the same way (I'll go to the games) but still root for the mets. THis is a time where this organization needs fans

  • $20,000,000 annually just to name it CitiField. Fuck Citi, I don't want this stadium to be named after a BANK!

  • You=Dumbass

  • see we're only guna have citi field for 30-40 years and then they're guna rebuilt shea stadium again where it currently stands. by 2039-2049 these smaller luxury stadiums will go out of date and big stadiums of the past will be rebuilt and in style again.

  • theres a kid in my school who claims hes a "true phillies fan" but he only started actually saying that when they started winning (into the post season) and he likes the eagles and now that the flyers suck he doesnt talk about them or he just doesnt like them. All the bandwagon fans come from philadelphia....new york fans (both mets & yankees) are always true to their teams no matter whether they win or lose

  • LMFAO!

  • why there keep shea stadium

  • i bethca he really means that he can get more money through over priced seats.

  • love the new stadium minus less seating but ill always miss shea

  • home of the 2009 world series champions..LET GO METS

  • PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE dont let the phils win!

  • Sorry..You're wish has NOT been granted!

    PHILLIES.......WORLD CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!

    Choke on that one!

  • WOW your so funny METS 1st place Next year

  • really im sure citi field is so much nicer than wtvr team u like

  • cuatro

  • Choke Phillies, Lets Go Mets!! Phillies will lose in the NLCS!!

  • Yea BABY! cant wait til it opens!

  • the mets new choking grounds!!

  • Cubs will win the world series, cubs will choke the phillies!!

  • Choke-Ex. NY Mets

    Go Phillies!!!!!

  • i agree i cant wait till the mets die on the operating table like they have the last 2 years. Picture it phillies nation: The mets season hangs in the balance in the season finale at citi field and they need one win to get into the postseason. History repeats itslef once again as the pitching fails and the bats get quiet. FUCK THE METS (and the Brewers) LETS GO PHILLIES

  • your not real fans assholes

  • on the contrary we are real fans. we are also still the team to beat. have fun wondering what could have been while we gear up for game 1 of the nlcs tonite.

  • real fans haha funny

  • hey the mets r always the best buddy

  • Citi Field??? At least the yankees are keeping their name.

  • Because the Yankees are living in the past, they still think they are going to win with old man Jeter. The Yanks are cursed as of 2004, tearing down "the stadium," is going to screw the Yankees for an eternity.

    Citifield is about 1000000000000 times more character and classic looks than the House that Ruth Cursed.

  • The Yankees are cursed! Two years in a row the mets are eliminated from the playoffs on the last day of the season. On the subject of "Old man Jeter" hes still getting it done hiting 300 4 years in a row including an MVP caliber season in 2006. The Yankees are a better team and will have a better stadium. Thats just the way it is.

  • i go free

    cuz my dad is works for NYPD

    and im going to be there for opening day :)

  • How do you get to go there for free?

  • I love the game of baseball. Its not fare that they need to make ticket prices so high. You were once able to take your family to the game. Now your lucky if you can go alone.

  • Dude trust me I'll get in , MY father works for the NYC Parks Department ,and The US Open at the Tennis Stadium across the Street , they always let me and my father in free at Shea LMAO plus they're selling seats from Shea once it's closed to Parks Department employees, and Im goin to Citi Fields first game for a B-day present cuz my B-day present since it's on April 24th and the First game is April 9th

  • headcase201, I wasn't even aware of this. this is outrageous. Citi Field, The new

    home of the great National League New York franchise, is seating 14,000 less fans per game than the OLD RUNDOWN shea Stadium. How can this franchise keep their heads above water?

  • From a yankee fan that is a fucking good looking stadium

  • I waz visiting the Casey Stengel bus depot (across the street on the other side of the new field) and the interior doesnt look as good as Sheas

  • Lets go Mets first place

  • New York Mets Fans!! check out my blog on everything New York Mets!!

    metsextreme

  • I wish dat citi field is a hitter friendly park.. bcuz even though its a pitcher friendly... or the mets need no hitter... it depends on d pitcher not bcuz of hitter or pitchers park

  • Not really. It is in the same area, and you know how Shea Stadium was to hitters. The air is awful, I'm sure it will be the same as Shea.

  • I saw that game last night it was horrible. Hopefully they will win today. I think the Mets were Fatigued because of their long road trip. GO METS.

  • Citi Field? Are you kidding me? That sort of rythmes with shitty. They might as well call it Crappy Field or Poopy Park for that matter.

  • so this is where they're gonna get their worthless butts beat by the Phillies this year? let's go

  • Every year the Mets are a head of you. Now your 1 game into first place with 4 months to go and you think your untouchable or something. Its a long season.

  • Looks nicer than the new Yankee stadium, in my opinion. I'm still going to miss Shea, though. Alot of memories there.

  • Shea sounded better

  • how cheap is that, selling naming rights to some corporate assholes because the mets can't draw in enough fans to watch their sucky team.

  • uh.... the mets draw 50,000 per game dumbass

  • so then what is the point of selling the naming rights to the new stadium? Is it to help pay for their overpriced players who just choke away a 7 game lead late in the season?? or lose the NLCS on strike 3 looking? They won't be drawing 50,000 in the new park because it can't hold that many.

  • headcase ure an idiot!!!Citi Field has 14,000 less seats than shea because they dont want the fans asses to get crushed when they sit on the seats that hardly has any leg room...why dont you complement the new yankee stadium it has no reason to be built!!

  • Fuck citi field unless you work for one of the companies that will get free tickets. Where are all of the real fans going to sit? Don't forget they citi feild has about 14,000 less seats than shea. Now they can charge us whatever they want to pay for yohan. Better to watch the game on tv now

  • They could keep raking it in this way.1) corporations buying tickets from the Mets like they're buying food and toiletries from a wholesaler, 2) Giving their old Buddy Harry S. the green light to charge $7 for hot dogs, $10 for beer, $8 for soda, $12 for yearbooks, $5 for game programs, $2-$20 worthless souveniers, and to quench your thirst on hot humid days only $6 for bottled water. The Yankees, by the way, do the same thing and are much worse,& their neighborhood isnt nice like Flushing

  • Lol I live in Flushing thnx man

  • I hope that you live in a nicer house than Archie Bunker, or you probably wouldn't be able to afford good seats or the food at a luxury palace like Citi Field.

  • Dude chill, I live in Pomonok Houses next to Queens College but I always got enough money to have fun trust me, My father works for the Parks Department and the US Open I'll get in Citi field, there letting him by seats from Shea Stadium and its only for Parks Department employees

  • headcase201, I wasn't even aware of this. this is outrageous. Citi Field, The new

    home is seating 14,000 less fans than OLD RUNDOWN shea. How can this franchise keep their heads above water?

  • So What? Jackie is a national icon and was a BROOKLYN Dodger (but also a ucLA Bruin and Pasadena raised)(BB55 stole my thunder). the Mets did the right thing and from what I heard, The rotunda @ Ebbets was a thing to behold. I also agree with pbj903 about the Giants, but with Black now a team color, I don't think it is as one-sided as it could've been.

  • Great park, a major upgrade from our current home. But sucks tho cuz Yanks new field is alot better then again we are the mets.

  • LOL! It should be a nice park. I actually think the new Mets' park looks nicer on the outside than the new Yankees Stadium.

  • New Yankee Stadium actually looks incredible from the outside, if maybe a little too overwhelming. But the artist's renderings of the inside of NYS are really bad. What a boring bland design. Current Yankee stadium is much more alive from the inside.

    Citi Field may not have a view--eh what's to see anyway--but I think its field will be a hit with baseball lovers. Really intimate, fun and lively. Can't wait.

  • They're both very nice!

  • opening day looks great!!!!!!!

  • Yankees fans should never speak of other teams and them choking

  • looks great but the yankees stadium which they spent billions on is above and beyound state of the art....you'll see

  • yeah, they have Martini bars at the new Skankee stadium for the suits to hang out at while the game is going on. Anybody that drinks a martini at a ball game should be shot.

  • funny thing about that is that the Yankees didn't start in NY

  • Speaking of choking, hey no one is going to take that away from yankeys. Biggest chokers in the history of baseball.

  • 2nd team syndrome?

  • The Yankees are only half way decent because they spend 10 billion dollars a year and even then they can't win the series

  • Hey pal, the mets aren't far behind (they have the 2nd highest payroll)

    seen Santana's contract douchbag?

  • U MUST BE A METS FAN!!!

  • looks like the Mets are a horrible team then if they have the 2nd highest payroll and still can't win a World Series.

  • if you didnt choke, you wouldve won the series

    if we didn't, we wouldve made fools out of ourselves against the rockies instead of the phils

  • Memories of Shea: Tom Seaver, Cleon Jones, Jerry Koosman, Ron Darling, Ray Knight, Daryl Strawberry and THE BEATLES.

  • and two world series champions 1969, 1986, National League Pennant clinchings 1969, 1973, 2000 and several divisional clinching best one 9/17/86.

  • New York is the largest city in the world. Its where people go to make something of themselves. What is arlington known for? A little bitch like you wouldn't last a day in the big apple.

  • I agree, he rotunda should be named after a NY Met. It is great that the Cyclones honored Jackie, after all he played for the BK Dodgers not LA. Gil Hodges is a great Met for this to be named after. Jackie is an icon in American history for what he had to go through and what he had accomplished but the truth is he was never a NY MET. MLB retired his number 42 in his honor and as soon as Mariano retires, no one will ever wear that number again. Can this Mets fanchise honor one of their own???????

  • I completely understand the mets history and their connection to the Dodgers.if the mets want to name the rotunda after a dodger(which I don't understand) why not Gil Hodges?? after all he was the most popoular Dodger, managed the 69 mets, had his # retired by the mets and should be in the H.O.F. Just my opinion. I just hope the mets offer long time season plan holders like myself an opportunity to buy seats at the new stadium. It would be a shame if real met fans get shut out.

  • that will be a shame if they do shut out the longtime season ticket holders, i mean i know they wanna make more money but they should at least added more seats to citi field than they have planned

  • bart, the mets colors are based on the ny giants and the brooklyn dodgers...robinson was a dodger, as well as a major figure in new york baseball history. I think its appropriate...the only shame is that no ny giant history was incorporated into the new stadium, its largely based on dodgers history.

  • Try the Mets' WS win in 86. Or their run to a NL East title in 88. And perhaps I should remind you of Gary Carter, Tom Seaver, Yogi Berra, and Doc Gooden? They all either played or managed for the Mets at Shea. Even during the lean years, Shea still saw its share of memorable moments. I know, I was there for many of them...it will be sad to watch Shea go.
