As I toured Citi Field yesterday I didn’t see much, if any, new “Mets stuff.” There definitely weren’t player banners hanging in the halls, and I probably would have noticed a giant statue of Seaver…but something did catch my eye.
If you squint, look above the blue Citi Field sign and look through the windows.
Look on the walls – there are baseball card type posters (?) on the walls of whatever is above the Rotunda.
As I said last night, I don’t have super command of Citi the way I did Shea. I guess we’re looking at the Caesar’s Club? I’ve never been to this space so I’m not sure, and I’m sure the first person to comment will correct my mistake.
I never noticed them before Thursday afternoon.
If you take the main escalator in the Rotunda and look up you’ll see these.
The baseball cards aren’t new; they are on the Empire Suite Level (200’s) and have been there all season. I know because I sat in a suite in May.
What I did notice about the cards, though, walking down the hallways, was something really cool. I saw a blowup of a card that was from Topps ’93 (around the end of my collecting days), then next to it was a Topps ’92, then a ’91, etc. Basically, every Topps set from 62-08 is represented, in order, with no Met appearing on the wall more than once. Excellent job on that.
