How To Make Citi Field More Mets-centric in Four Easy Steps
They have some cool ideas like…
Whereas a number of new stadiums have statues of their greatest players or a memorable moment in franchise history, the Mets do not. Why not have a statue of Tom Seaver or even one of Jesse Orosco’s iconic pose after striking out Marty Barrett to end the 1986 World Series? The Fanwalk is nice but you have to be standing on top of the bricks to realize what it is. A statue would be noticeable from a distance and would fit in with the current trend of new ballparks and statues. It’s also far more comfortable to take a picture standing in front of a statue than it is lying on the ground next to your brick. If the San Diego Padres can have a statue of Tony Gwynn outside of Petco Park, despite the fact they’ve only been in existence since 1969 and have no championships, shouldn’t the Mets have a statue featuring at least one of their championship players and/or moments?
.…and they know things like the color of the Citi fence is actually “soot.”

My suggestion is to remodel the entire Jackie Robinson Rotunda to look exactly like the cabin of the plane that the ’86 Mets flew back to NY in after winning the NL. What better way to celebrate, nay, relive the 86 series by passing out in a destroyed airline seat covered in illegal narcotics, soaked in booze and vomit?
