Review of Citi Field

Tweet

Here is my unbaised review of the new Citi Field - I am a Red Sox fan, thus making my feelings on Citi Field unbaised. I went to my first game at Citi Field yesterday. I had heard different opinions on it, but now I have seen it for myself. I think my favorite thing is the openess of the stadium. You can see the field from any concourse level. I was sitting on the promenade level - the top tier - in the second row. I could see everything except the outfield directly below my seats. There are lots of screens around, so if I missed a play on the field I could just watch the screen. Since it was so brutally hot, I ended up staying in the concourse for most of the game. The staff was very nice. One man got me a chair and some ice to cool down with. I was still able to see the game even though I was inside, which was cool. We went down to the field level to check out the food options and the frequently mentioned Shake Shack. We got burgers, fries and shakes from there. The food was good, but seriously overpriced. There are a large variety of food options throughout the park, which was nice. The Jackie Robinson Rotunda is pretty cool. We tried to find our brick out on the fanwalk, but the heat got to us so we left. We'll have to look for it next time. Parking was a bit confusing, but we managed to find a good spot close to our gate just outside the stadium lots. Overall I'd say the Mets did a nice job with the stadium.
