Wow, this is interesting.  A pre-sale for people who bought tickets on Stubhub.

I may disappoint some of you but I’m not going to post the password on this site.  I don’t think that’s a cool thing to do – it’s unfair to the people who actually earned the presale, and I don’t want to give the Mets the middle finger.  I think the Fonz would give me a thumbs down if I did that.    I will tell you that it is common knowledge that in 2009 the presales used the last names of star players.

Check this out…

If you spend any time on Mets Police you’ll dig this great video of the Twins new ballpark.  Take a look at the wood-back seats.  How cool is the giant retro shaking-hands thing?   I love how they numbered the gates!  Someone might have to call the Twins Police about the railings at the front of the sections (go about 4:38 in) but looks like they did a better job on staircases than some other stadiums.   Some of the stands look Yankee Stadium III-ish.  Here, take a look…

I guess after the Marlins get their ballpark it will be a while until the next new one.  Thanks to Jesse for the tip!
