What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
See that on the left? Click here to the awesome New Stadium Insider for video of what it’s like to sit in an obstructed view at New Yankee Stadium.
That dude must have the worst luck buying tickets.

Whoa..I’m catching up on yesterday (was at Yankee Stadium) and I just read in the Post that …
Perez gave a putrid performance in his final spring training start yesterday. The $36 million left-hander failed to get out of the first inning against the Red Sox at Citi Field, walking four batters and giving up a grand slam before getting booed off the mound by most of the 38,695 fans in a 9-3 Mets loss.
Are you kidding me???!!
Are you crazy? It’s an exhibition game. Maybe he was working on something. Maybe he just sucked. We know he’s fragile, sometimes awesome and sometimes terrible – why would you pile on during an exhibition game? How is he supposed to feel about Mets fans this morning?
I’m never accused of being Mr. Met or positive…and I complain more than anyone…but booing this guy in the final spring training tuneup (after everyone defended the WBC to me for a month)? Any of you that did that yesterday is an idiot. Stay home.

Great job out of Scott Proctor’s Arm walking around New Yankee Stadium with a camera.
If you sit in Section 420, sorry dude.
For more pics check out his blog or read my review (underwhelmed) which also has photos.

Some curiosities from my trip to New Yankee Stadium.
Let me say I didn’t go looking for things to complain about, I just toured the stadium but knowing I have a blog I snapped a few photos I might not otherwise have snapped.
#1. The column with the notes. This is over by the ugly staircase to Monument Park somewhere.
#2. This sign made us laugh. I know what it means, but when you look at it, it’s directing you straight into a wall. This is a good example of how ugly the ramps and staircases are. It’s NYC public school. What time ie class? If only there were some photographic history of the Yankees they could tap into.
#3. Next we have a puddle. It seems awfully early in the New Stadium’s lifespan to have standing water. This was on Saturday. It didn’t rain on Saturday. This wasn’t the only puddle.
#4. The Pipes. Everywhere you look there are exposed pipes and sprinkler systems. Maybe the same is true at Citi, but I didn’t notice it. I wasn’t looking, but I didn’t show up at New Yankee saying “man if I can get some pictures of some exposed pipes I can rock out the blog.” Others noticed them too. It’s ugly.
I kept thinking that these teams must hate bloggers. You’d rarely get one the newspapers to write things like this, or about obstructed views, but they are all over the internet….and as we see with the Times, the mainstream papers read blogs and make stories out of them (and of course we bloggers use papers for inspiration). Sorry teams, there’s obstructed views and we’re taking pictures.
There’s plenty of stuff like this out there. We will be posting throughout the day, keep checking back or click Mets Police if this is your first time visiting to get back to the main page.
