Jesse went by Citi Field yesterday. Take it away Jesse…
1. Went by CitiField today. Actually counted 410 feet with my feet to heel measurement (must of been close to accurate since I was at 60 by the time I reached pitching plate of Shea). Think I stayed in a straight line. Anyway where the red cement hits a corner think (probably a bit more to left away from rotunda) is where 410 centerfield wall was or pretty close. Dont think it be in new road they have there.
2. Can you ask on site if there is suppose to be 3 more banners? Kinda dumb if not. Looks incomplete. (yeah it really does. Â I wonder what will go there? Â Shannon)
3. Â Tried to see if I could see any changes but nothing. I know the bullpen is gutted from a previous pic I saw on another site. Saw nothing with bridge either with any wording of “Shea Bridge” but I guess I wouldnt being behind it.Banners look better there (but how many people see them?) than they do on outfield wall, where they looked cluttered. That 2006 one with some luck would say “World Champions”
4. Â Another picture of the paint job. Yawn. Well better than the prison looked of plain cinderblocks.
5. That beige area way on top should say “Home of New York Metropolitan Baseball Club” Would kind of offset the old Dodger stuff. Plus those TV screens along with Jackie Robinson highlights should also show great Mets highlights to kind of tie in the whole area.
Was kind of weird being there. Think in total there was 10 cars in parking lot and that was probably some workers doing work. (Hey maybe they are installing some new blue and orange outfield wall vinyl!!)
6. Nothing new from pics I saw previously posted on site. Tried to see if I could see anything from inside from old team store. Also no work on new Fan Walk (wanted to see my brick I purchased over winter)
Thanks Jesse! Â The posts that come from fan submissions are always my favorites. Â If you have anything cool please send to [email protected]
