Rebier to New York Mets and Yankees Fans: Shut Up and Enjoy (Newsday)

My mood today made me decide to share Anthony Reiber’s column in Monday’s Newsday and yes I’m picking out the sentences that fit my mood.

Words by Anthony, pictures are mine.

Not that we don’t love a good Yankees- or Mets-bashing story here, but what’s jumped out at us is a) how nice both places are for fans to watch a game and b) the overall tone of whininess from fans about the new parks.

Seriously, now, people, quitcherbellyachin’.

1) A small number of upper-deck seats at Citi Field have obstructed views because of plexiglass railings. Simple solution: remove the plexiglass railings.

..

5) They got the field views right at Yankee Stadium – it really looks as if you’re watching a game at the old stadium! – but the Great Hall entryway feels like, as I overheard someone say the other day, “just another mall in Paramus.” And I don’t find the Jackie Robinson Rotunda at Citi Field all that impressive, but then again, I’ve never been a big rotunda fan.

Also, complaining to me about tickets won’t do you any good. If the Yankees or Mets stuck you with bad season tickets, first of all, congratulations on having the dough to afford even bad season tickets.

Thanks Anthony! What section are your seats in again? Tell Boomer Esiason I said hi.
