Giant Citi Field Mega Mall Creeps Toward Approval: Gothamist

A giant mall planned for just outside the Mets’ stadium might soon be more than just a Citi Field of Dreams. Queens Borough President Helen Marshall has OK’d the 1.4-million-square-foot mega-center,

spock eyebrowNow this isn’t 126th street we’re talking about.  This is a group known as Sterling Equities (sounds familiar….oh yeah that’s “The Wilpons” more or less) and the “Related Company” which I don’t know but sounds to my small brain like it could be some legal thing you make up for some tax reason I’d never be smart enough to understand.  Anyways, if I am still good at reading comprehension it seems to me like Sterling Equities and the Related Company are close to getting their mall on what is now the Citi Field parking lot.

I’m not sure how I feel about that.  How about you?

  1. Where might they suggest the fans park? Let’s make it even less enticing and more of a hassle to attend games. That will surely help attendance.

    1. if i had to bet, i’m sure this would lead to the eventual buyout of chopshop alley and the main citi field lot being moved across the street.

  2. The fans will likely park in the large multi-story parking structure depicted in the artist rendering (which everyone uses to ask where the parking is going to be) It is notrh of the Mall structure, across from the Left Field Gate, occupying what I believe is “Preferred Parking C”
    You can see the cars on top.

    1. Still not enough parking. Don’t you think that mega mall’s parking will be filled with, um, customers? Originally, I was all for the redevelopment of the Willet’s Point area. Then nothing really happened. And now a mall is being built on land that was gifted to Sterling Equities. This plan stinks worse than the sewage IN Willet’s Point.
