Citi Field is nice and all, but im still calling it Shea

12,000 fewer seats? Oh, but they've added "beautiful new premium locations" in the new park. Nice. Kick out the families who renewed weekend ticket packages since the 1960s but add "beautiful new premium locations" to maximize profits. How appropriate that the name of a failure like Citi Bank adorns this hall of shame. Let's Go Mets!

Its better than the new yankee stadium with all its premium suites

@MarathonManPeatMoss with the mets performance lately i dont think that they are going to need those seats im a yankee fan but i hope you guys start doing better i wanna keep the rivalry and i like that there are 2 ny teams

@jcjr87 wow i feel the exact same way

Mets are about to go Broke............

The trend with new ball parks is less seating. I'm sure they have it figured out that by raising ticket prices on sell out dates will result in the same profit and 12,000 less peanut shelled floor area to sweep up lol

nice stadium. its too bad that they put an inferior product on the field and no one will be sitting in those seats in 2011. only player on that team is david wright. no other player is consistant like him. oliver perez and john maine are a huge waste of money. k rods an old man beater and f'd up big time. no closer now to go with the pathetic bullpen. can't see anyone rooting for this team next year.

Well here in Houston,Tx We love our Minute Maid Park but the Astrodome still stands and they want to make it in to a Hotel. Whom ever buys it I just hope they keep the name ...(Marriot Astrodome Hotel, Holiday Inn at the Astrodome, etc) Its a historical building. Oilers and Astros both played there. It took in Rita victims. It's not taking up space at all...if they tore it down, it would just be a parking lot.

Don't like this new ballpark. it's boring. when watching a game on tv you can't here the crowd! in shea it was very noisey the fans and the planes. at shea you can even hear the hot dog vendor clearly on tv saying HOT DOG HOT DOG!! it's not gonna be the same. shea stadium and the new york mets went together. memories of shea are to deep for me.

So the Mets got a new stadium but when the Brooklyn Dodgers wanted to stay in Brooklyn they could not get a new stadium? I do like the way CitiField is similar to Ebbetts Field but feel the stadium should have been named for Gil Hodges as he led the Mets to their first World Series win. The game of baseball is all about money today so a corporation gets the rights to name the new stadium instead of honoring Hodges. I also agree with the comment about the Jackie Robinson Rotunda.
