I’m back from the game….and absolutely loved the stadium.

I’m not going to break any new ground here.  I give it the same glowing review everyone else did.  

Like Matt Cerrone mentioned on Mets Blog, it’s not very Dodgery at all, even in the rotunda (whew.)  I do think the Rotunda is way overrated – the coolest spot is in centerfield by the shake shack, the whatever we call the space by the new ugly Apple, and the seafood whatever its called.

We had tons of fun stumbling around, upgraded our seats after the rain delay, and had the same reaction at the end of the night which was, “How do we get out?”

The angled seats are nice.  The obstructed ones are not (that post goes live at 7:45am tomorrow).

I love that all that noise pollution from Shea 1990-2008 is gone and has been replaced for the most part by organ music.  Awesome.

Big clean bathrooms are nice but after a few inning syou’ll need to stand spread eagle.  Aim better and shake off boys.

I don’t know what the heck that song is that K-Rod warms up to but I liked it.

They were having food line problems.  Very very long lines because it took forever to pay.  Our cashier told us the registers were on wi-fi and that the wireless wasn’t working so well.  We noticed 3G didn’t work so well.  Minor point.  You don’t need to surf the internet during a game unless you’re an obsessed blogger.

My longer el-cheapo walk to my car in Corona wasn’t so bad once I figured out where the heck the walkway was in relation to the field.

They are calling the big screen “Citi-vision.”  I won’t be.

This place is a cavern.  415 to right center!   The ball didn’t seem to carry at all.  I am predicted that there will never be a home run hit at Citi Field.  

Nobody wants Sheffield.

Really really nice.  Well done Mets.  Really well done/  Just go figure out the plexiglass problem.  We’ll get into that in the morning.  

Tomorrow for me, Yankee Stadium.

I love it.

Cyclones fan and I have same reaction. We don't feel like we're in New York (in a good way).

Seems cozy

Employees are super friendly

I quizzed security chief about "Phillies red" uniforms – he said they wanted to stand out. I bought the logic and shook his hand.

Rotunda overrated.

Mets employees wear RED hats? It's a Phillies red. Doesn't anyone notice these things?

Long long lines at rotunda

I'm at rf gate. People are psyched.

Stadium outside is awesome

There are banners of Mets players (past) on the outside. The players you'd expect.

Line talk hates Sheffield move
