Ballpark Visited: Citi Field Submitted By: Ronald Theriot Grade: A
Pros of the ballpark: It is certainly an outstanding new ballpark. The concessions are probably the best in baseball, especially the wonderful hot dog condiments, that shame other stadiums. The sight lines were fine, I thought. Also, I was able to walk all around at the park without any bother. This is truly a significant improvement over Shea Stadium (which was fine in its hey-day).
Cons of the ballpark: The only problem is the location. Unless one is looking for auto salvage parts, there is nothing to do here.
Additional Comments: I was able to park for free at a distance not too far away (day game).

Pros of the ballpark: Nice Ballpark..way bigger upgrade than Shea..
Cons of the ballpark: Nothing to go with the apple when a Met hits a homer or win the ballpark..i personally feel adding fireworks, water pumps, or a siren of some sort would be nice to see during day games as well as night games..
Additional Comments: Nice stadium...i always go but the apple just to plain for me and ive been a mets fan since i was in diapers..I hope the mets organization consider this

Pros of the ballpark: If you like the nostalgic look, Citi Field doesn't fail to deliver. It is definitely awe inspiring walking up to the main gates in the rotunda. Concourses were nice and wide and it is easy to move around in.
Cons of the ballpark: The sightlines are horrid if you are in the upper deck. My buddy and I sat in right field in section 502 and our view of the right field corner was completely blocked by section 501. If there is a ball hit into the corner, you have to wait for the replay to see what happened because you can't see it live. If you like to walk around the parks and stand for a few pitches, Citi Field is pretty hard to do that at. The upper decks hang very low and unless you kneel down, your view of the field is also obstructed.
Additional Comments: My buddy and I flew up to NYC from Ohio to catch a game and we were both really excited about seeing the new park. Citi Field is definitely a beautiful ballpark, but it really falls short on sightlines. There are very many obstructed views. They could have done a much better job designing it. It almost feels like they threw it together and said whatever happens, happens. Unfortunately visual appeal doesn't make up for what it lacks in terms of viewing friendliness.
