Shannon,
I was curious how a soccer field would fit into Citi Field. So I used google maps and cut a soccer field from somewhere in NJ and stuck it into a aerial photo of Citi at the same altitude.
What I noticed pretty quickly is that the soccer field fits remarkably well into the ballpark. It’s almost cut right into the stadium. Is it a coincidence?
The straight wall down the right-field line.
The length from the 3rd base line tarp to the deep right center-field fence near the bullpens.
The most convenient fit looks like the “MoZone” cutout that fits a soccer goal perfectly.
You have to wonder if the designers had soccer in mind. I also wonder how the Mets players would feel if they discovered that the reason right center-field is so deep is so Sokratis Papastathopoulos can take a corner-kick?
Keep up the good work
Thanks,
Joe
