I heard Dave Howard say in his interview with WFAN that the blue was a color that would fade faster over time. So they chose to use balck. Who cares..?? Do it over when it does fade. The blue outfield walls at Shea seemed to last ok the past 22 years I went there.
As far as “Seet Caroline” goes… GET RID OF THAT GARBAGE PLEASE!!!! I booed it as loud as I could when I went to a game last friday and I wasn’t the only one. That song sucks. What happened to “I’m a Believer“. At least let the fans choose like they did last year when they voted for the Monkees Song. “Meet the Mets” would be perfect. Damn, I wish I owned the Mets, I promise everyone on here would not be complaining. If we can’t win, at least give us a better song in the damn 8th inning for heaven sake and have more royal blue in the ballpark.
That’s two suggestions now for Meet the Mets. What does everyone think?

Yes, they should play Meet the Mets. Sweet Caroline is the Red Sox song. Why copy them?
Yes, Meet the Mets. It is a vital part of the Mets’ identity and it should be sung at some point (early in the game, like last year was great too, if they want to keep “I’m a Believer” for the 8th). “Sweet Caroline” just rubs our faces in the fact that the place doesn’t really feel like the home of the Mets.
