As I continue my travels, a guest comment from Mo who sent this in last homestand…
There’s a “rule” in Citi Field for the fans to not walk down to their section during an at bat. Last night I was sitting at the end of the row next to the aisle in Section 309 in Row 9, and you have to look through the aisle to see home plate.
Constantly through the at bats, fans, vendors, picture people are walking up and down the aisle, and I missed half the of the first two innings(moved to the other side after the second). Row 9 is towards the beginning of the section, so basically anyone going to any row in that section passes by me.
As mentioned above, these people weren’t just fans, they were vendors, and photographers. How are you supposed to enforce a rule, when you have people working for you going against the rule? They say don’t walk through the section during the at-bat but there is no one there to stop them! I was really fed up and frustrated, missing some great and key plays, early on in the game. I think it’s just disgusting how they let people do it, and how they say “don’t walk during the at-bat” but don’t do anything about it.
Thanks for listening,
Mo
Amen. Â The vendors especially do not care. My advice – try to get middle of the aisle seats, or try to sit so that the aisle is NOT between you and home. Â The parade of people up and down drives me nuts too, I’m with you.
Ah, the new photographer, the new raising of the bar, the new distraction…
The one that takes your photo for free in hopes that you’ll spend $100 on photos and mugs and calendars of the shot that they take for free…
Did we ask for it?
The Mets can never resist.
Do they do that at Yankee Stadium? AT Wrigley? At Fenway?
Maybe they do.
