I’m writing over at Examiner.com today. This was written for over there.
Citi Field is scheduled to open on Sunday with a college baseball game involving St. John’s. Many Mets fans hoping to catch a glimpse of the new park bought tickets to this game, and I’ve spoken to several who plan to walk around and not watch the ballgame at all.
The weather gods may have other ideas. As of midday Saturday the forecast calls for “definite” rain through noon, followed by “likely light rain.”
It will be interesting to see how long the teams wait out the showers.
As a long time Mets-watcher I imagine the gates will open and you will get to walk around. Whether that will be the organization being nice to the fans, or just deciding to bank an extra gate of five dollar tickets is less clear.
Maybe the first game at Citi Field is destined to be a Mets game? We’ll know tomorrow.
