From the mailbag:
It seems that every section in the promenade along the left and right field lines has obstructed views from the plexi-glass and handrails (not to mention all the people going up and down the stairs). The obstruction is about from seat 1 through 6 in rows 1 through 4. That’s (6×4)= 24 seats in every section along the lines in the promenade. The Mets didn’t do a good job on this. This was annoying. I rather stand all 9 innings than sit here. I noticed that behind home plate, there are several tunnel entrances to the promenade just like Shea had. The whole promenade should have been designed this way. I’ve been to approximately 200 games at Shea stadium the past 22 years and sat just about all over the place. Shea never had crappy seats like this. Sorry. Check out this video I have posted on YouTube.
I of course stand by the official position of the Mets and that there are no obstructed views.
The way we characterize “obstructed†is if you have an obstruction, something in front of you — a beam, a pillar, something that’s blocking your view. That’s not the case here. It is a function of the geometry of the building.
