Mets' Citi Field I guess it's been the summer of stadiums, along with everything else I've been doing. I had the opportunity to see a Mets game last night in their new stadium, Citi Field. I sat in a similar location to where I sat at the Yankees game, and there was only a very minimal difference in ticket price. I do have to say that the from the outside, I think this stadium is a little more aesthetically pleasing, but on the inside, Yankee Stadium takes the cake. This includes of course the view from the seats. At Yankee Stadium, the seating sections are kind of wedding-caked, meaning almost on top of one another. So you feel a little closer to the action. Whereas at Citi Field, the farther you go up in seating sections, you are so much farther away from the field. It was a good game overall. The Mets won 3-0 over the San Francisco Giants. The most interesting aspect of the game was that the Mets were in throwback uniforms from the Christy Mathewson era. They were really baggy, with a large NY on the front. The game was over so quickly (right around three hours) that I was able to head back home to MD. After the game, I took the subway and Metro North back to Mamaroneck to get my car at the marina parking lot. I ended up making it home pretty fast, around 3.5 hours and that included one stop at a rest stop in NJ. I wasn't speeding mind you, it was just considering the time of night there wasn't any traffic. And the drive went quickly as I listened to Ben Harper the entire way home on the iPod in the car. I arrived home, unloaded the car and took a long sleep, probably the latest I've slept in a very long time. Home, sweet home.
