This morning I received an email and several texts from Media Goon who went for a drive around Citi Field. He included pictures and some comments, and wanted me to comment as well. So I shall.
So far I have written every sentence of this post including this one without looking as his emails or texts, so we will be virtually experiencing this together.
Goon: 126th making turn east on roosevelt. can’t see the billboard until after you turn….
SS: Even though I grew up a half block from Roosevelt, this stretch between Shea/Citi and Main Street is the stretch I almost never drove down. Neither here nor there, just saying I usually took Northern to Flushing.
Goon: Girlfriend took a photo burst while we were driving…. this is the view of the billboard coming down Roosevelt Ave going west.
SS: boy did she take a long burst. I am not posting the many many pictures I was sent, but I will just pick and choose a few. And if I picked 9 you can imagine how many she took.
SS: Hopefully you saw a slideshow there. I used a new website gizmo I haven’t used before, so I am not confident it will render on mobile. In case you can’t see the slideshow, here is one of the pictures posted old-style.
SS: Media Goon then looped around to look at The Mystery Structure.
SS: About the Mystery Structure. I have a guy inside the Mets who I am friendly with and he always reminds me that if I have a question I should just ask him. However, I at heart I am 12 and I much more enjoy guessing what The Mystery Structure is. It’s no fun to just find out.
Goon: Down on groundlevel for Mystery Structure.
SS: So there you have it. I think the Mystery Structure will be some sort of ads/sign/digital something. Maybe The Wilpons have decided to start their own billboard which would be EPIC.
