I heard this mentioned on tv (radio?) over the weekend but now see other sources.
Even the visiting bullpen has obstructed views!
The Padres (jerks that can’t play at 4:05) have filed a complaint with MLB. The view is “obstructed” (ha!) by the home bullpen and fences.
The solution may be installing televisions. I wonder if Mets VP David Howard knows about this? I don’t think he has been to the Promenade so I doubt he’s been to the visiting bullpen.
Last night I heard Steve Somers telling fans to watch the scoreboard replay of plays you can’t see from your seats.
Um, does anyone understand why we go to games? Why don’t we all go sit at Citi Field when they are on the road? We can pay $15 to watch the game on TV, just like when they are home.
Steve you’re awesome but you clearly have not sat upstairs yet. I reiterate my invitation to “the media” to come sit upstairs and get the real story. Get out of the press box and the WFAN hook up seats.

@metspolice
do you think now the Mets are going to let Gary, Keith, and Ron broadcast a game from the stands like they did last year?
And lay off the Padres. You wouldn’t want to start 2 games 24 hours apart on different coasts/time zones either. We had that last year going to San Francisco. It wasn’t fun. Lay into the idiots who scheduled the Padres for our home opener in the first place.
Steve Somers is a smart guy, and no shill. So, even though I wasn’t listening lasnight, I’m sure he was being sarcastic–probably at the expense of pro-Citi media as much as the Wilpons and the Mets themselves.
