What Does $632 Million Get You? Some Obstructed Seats!

According to the Mets website:

Citi Field will feature unprecedented sightlines, amenities, and comfort for Mets fans, sports fans and visitors to the New York metropolitan area…A contoured seating configuration will bring spectators closer to the field on all levels to provide optimal sightlines for a more intimate and entertaining experience throughout the park.

Interesting – “unprecedented” and “optimal” sightlines. Really??

According to dictionary.com, “optimal” means “Most favorable or desirable”

Well, thanks to MetsBlog for pointing this out, some of the seats at Corporate Field I would not describe as the “most favorable or desirable.”

Seems that some of the seats in the left field stands under the overhang (possibly the LF Landing or Caesar’s Club) have the out of town scoreboard partially blocking their view. Views of the field are fine – but good luck trying to track a fly ball or pop up.

Reminds one of the last several rows of Shea’s Loge section.

For the record, 40 game plans in the Caesar’s Club (which are sold out) cost almost $2,100 a seat.
