Obstructed View At "New Comiskey"

Stumbled across this site in Chicago which is a resource to tell you which seats at Wrigley are behind a pole. I guess they got in a spitting match with some White Sox fans about the poles…and this picture is an example of an obstructed view in White Sox Stadium.

I almost got suckered into some $5 stubhub seats until a wise friend told me why they were so cheap.

This shot is from an actual seat on the lower deck in right-ish field at Wrigley. I did not pose the shot or angle it to make it look bad. I just sat down and snapped away.

Mailbag: Inside the Caesar’s Club and Acela Club

I notice that the Club seating draws a lot of attention to the site..and the reviews always come back positive. I’m a beer and a hot dog guy myself but to each his own…

“Inside The Acela Club“:

My husband and I went to the Acela club this weekend with our friends. It was AMAZING! This is how I prefer to do baseball! The view was fantastic-what a beautiful ball park. The food was just as good. The appetizer buffet in the beginning is a meal in itself. I had the Kobe beef as did my friends husband, it was great! The service was terrific. My friend even commented that this was the best service we have ever had-and we are not hicks from the country. We know good food and frequently go out in Manhattan. This is the way to do Citifield. We will be returning next month. Worth every penny!

“Question For The Class…Caesar’s Club At Citi Fie…“:

Someone asked:

Looking at purchasing some tickets for customers Will they experience any obstructed views in the Caesar’s Club seats or Section 300’s I belive. Any feedback on these seats? Is the Caesars’ club worth it??

and you guys said:

sit at least 5 rows back to avoid plexiglas obstruction. other than that your view should be fine. unless you have a tickets for those sections you cant get in to that particular food/bar/restroom area so you should spend no time waiting on lines.

What’s bizarre about 2009, is that I had to look up “is the Acela club the one at Yankee or Citi?” It’s so odd to me to not have complete knowledge of every inch of the stadium after all those years at Shea.

Outside the New York Mets Team Store

Catching up on some photos I took last month out at Citi Field.

Some Mets Police 101: Who can tell me why I don’t like the logo for the Mets team store? There are at least three things wrong with it.

While I concede that the flag made of hats looks nice (although I saw the Cubs version last week so it must be MLB-wide)….

…there’s really no reason to wear a white on white Mets cap. Maybe this is what Mets wear in the afterlife?

Here’s a clever use of alt-merch without offending my senses with the use of black. No that’s not a Mets blue, but at least it is blue.

I wouldn’t roll my eyes at you if you wore this, unless you were actually on the 25 man roster.

Finally, here’s a little something for Mrs. Mets Police to wear to the beach while listening to Howie Rose on the ol’ transistor radio. Well, neither of those things are going to happen but maybe your girlfriend will try this on.

$50 To Park Next To Wrigley Field (Updated)

I didn’t frame this shot right….what you are not seeing is Wrigley Field about 30 feet to the right….but if you want to park that close to the stadium…

It is going to cost you $50.

Take the El or the subway or whatever they call it. You can also park a few blocks down for $30.

Updated: I found the pictures. $50 gets you a spot here.

New York Mets 2009 Sponsorship Survey (Part Two of Two)

The New York Mets have sent out a sponsorship survey to some of the fanbase. This is part two of a lengthy survey, part one is here. Some of the questions cut off but you should be able to figure it out.

While there is nothing “wrong” with this survey it sure is odd.

Weâ€™d now like to ask you some questions about one of the banks above.

As you may have indicated earlier in this survey, the ballpark where the Mets play is sponsored by Citi. How does this make you feel towards Citi?

Again, thinking about the fact that Citi sponsors the ballpark, how does that affect your interest in doing business with Citi?

	5 – Makes me much more interested
	4 – Makes me somewhat more interested
	3 – No impact
	2 – Makes me somewhat less interested
	1 – Makes me much less interested

Are you aware of the community outreach program Citi Kids?

	Yes
	No

How does the fact that Citi sponsors community outreach programs affect your perception of Citi?

How much does Citi sponsoring these programs affect your likelihood of doing business with Citi?

	5 – Makes me much more interested
	4 – Makes me somewhat more interested
	3 – No impact
	2 – Makes me somewhat less interested
	1 – Makes me much less interested

Then some questions about how old you are, where you live, what kind of cash you make.

Next up is…

Do you have a credit card, checking or savings account?

	Yes
	No

Which of these statements describes your role in choosing the financial institutions used by your household for services such as savings and checking accounts and credit cards?

	You are the primary or final decision maker
	You are one of two or more decision makers
	You have little to no influence in these decisions

What would be your estimate of the total value of your household’s investable assets? Please think of all the investable assets that you own, either entirely or jointly. By investable assets, we mean things such as your checking, savings and investments in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, CDs, bank accounts, or IRAs. Please do not include any real estate investments or employer-sponsored retirement plans, such as 401(k), 403(b), or 457 plans in your answer.

Someone sure wants to know a lot about our banking preferences.
