Times reports on obstructed views at Mets’ Citi Field

I’m very excited this morning.  I have an exclusive pre-sale opportunity to buy Mets tickets.   I actually have a few posts rattling around my brain and can’t wait to work on them.  For the leadoff spot, here’s some quickies.

Remember back on February 9th when Mets Police told you the Mets had admitted there are obstructed views at Citi? The NY Times has caught on (so I guess it’s now “official” and not some kook with a blog saying it) and wrote about it in Bats today.   The Times says their call was not returned.

Speaking of returning calls, remember I was ticked off at the Bisons for their non-response to my request to see if we could get a guy credentialed up there?   Well a nice man named Chris Hill has gotten back to me.  The ball is now in my court to take action, which I will today.  I hope they let out guy get in, but at least they acknowledged the request.  The silence was what annoyed me.  If they don’t want some dopey blog in their house I will be disappointed but understand.

In the comments, ElPrimo mentioned that the Mets were annoying yesterday and wore the hybrid hats with the now-primary whites.  Yes it was annoying.  I was tempted to go off on it, but I decided I would give them two days rather than overreact (even though it was annoying.)  Expect a rip job early this afternoon.

Interest in the Blue Cap Army has picked up. Please “register” on this page if you’d like to join us.   For whatever reason the registration link doesn’t work on the Main Mets Police page, only on pages with one post, and I haven’t been able to debug it.

What I’m thinking: we gather a half hour before the gates open, go to the museum, go check out McFadden’s, then see what everyone wants to do.  Bring a blue cap.  That’s sort of the point.  Also this is a celebration of Mets fans, not an opportunity to group-nitpick.  The idea is not to go into the museum to look for every little thing to complain about, but rather to enjoy it together.
