Fun Opening Day at Citi Field and the Mets win!

I’m back from Opening Day, my first appearance at Citi Field since the 2016 Opener.  Fun times with my son.

First we stopped off at Albert’s always awesome tailgate, known for its Steak Sandwiches.  I paid for mine, so I am not selling out like the t-shirt guy and Nas and everyone last week.

The we hit the museum and I looked up and saw this….

The museum was a little underwhelming for some reason.  Maybe I just wasn’t into the active exhibits, but it left me flat today.

Then we hit the store where my son tolerated me taking 80 pictures of caps and Blog Filler.  As I explained, twenty minutes work today gets you 6 months of blog posts.

Walked around a little and noticed some things that were new to me.  I took a year off so I dunno maybe this were there last year.

One thing that struck me was the Culture of Alcohol at Citi Field.  An annoying beer vendor every 4 feet.  Not to mention the beer stands, the announcements of pre-game entertainment with the Beer Sponsor.  I enjoy a beer, maybe two, but someone who isn’t only about money should walk around and look at the product the Mets are putting out there.  AL-CO-HOL.

I always love the intros.   It was heartbreaking to see David Wright and the 5 leading the line.

A nice moment…

Also a nice moment….

As for my seats…oh believe me we will be talking A LOT about this…

That’s a real view.  I didn’t stage that photo.  Anyway, that’s for tomorrow.

As for Thor – 4 runs in 6 innings.  You don’t get to cuckold the mascot with those numbers bromance.  If Matt Harvey  handed in today’s game he’d get killed.

My new favorite thing at Citi is THE COKE BEAR!   I dare someone to cuckold the Coke Bear.  The Coke Bear will murder your ass.

 

We tried to go to the bathroom and had to wait on a long line.   (The first time we gave up).  When we finally got in the bathroom it had 6 maybe 7 urinals.  You know what Citi Field needs – and I am serious – WRIGLEY FIELD TROUGHS.  Yeah they are awkward but get over yourselves.  Nobody wants to see your schween.  We could have 60 guys peeing in the same space that allows 6.  I am dead serious about this proposal.

Fun day at the ballpark.  Except for the seats.  You will be hearing from me. LGM!
