Uni Watch did a great walkthru of C-Field where you can see lots of pictures of the new place…a good set, a little different than what we’ve been seeing.
One that caught my eye is this one . Whereas Shea was surrounded by parking, C-Field is flush up against 126th street (a name we might start using now, you never heard anyone ever refer to 126th street).
The problem is, the Mets don’t own the east side of 126th, and that’s where the junkyard auto parts stores are, and they are quite ugly. I imagine that fans in the uppers (excuse me, Promenade) will have some ugliness to look at if they avert their gaze from the green field.
This won’t play well with the public and the politicians. If I were a junkyard owner I’d be working on my next line of work. They’ll be redeveloping this soon. How about an ESPN Zone or somewhere to hang out before a game?
