Boy, “Sing the Anthem at Shea” would have sounded much better.
Anyway, from mlb.com
The Mets are to stage their annual National Anthem Search at their new ballpark, beginning at 11 a.m. ET on Monday. The eventual winner will sing the anthem prior to a 2009 Mets home game.
The first 100 people to register for competition are guaranteed an audition and an opportunity to perform a song of their choice — excluding the national anthem — a cappella. The auditions are free and open to all ages. Those younger than 18 years must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
Those seeking to audition for the Anthem Search began lining up as early as 4 a.m. outside the SNY studios in Manhattan. Singer Michael Amante, who performed the anthem regularly at Shea Stadium, SNY anchorman Gary Apple and PIX 11 sports anchor Lolita Lopez will serve as judges.

@metspolice
any verb with the words “at Shea” sounds better than the same verb followed by “at Citi Field”.
– they’re on their feet at Shea
– it’s Opening Day at Shea
– a sold out crowd at Shea Stadium
And I can just hear Howie Rose saying the first two, and I can actually hear Bob Murphy saying the third.
