As a die hard Mets fan, I was lucky enough to score some tickets to opening day of the new Citi Field. Definitely an improvement over Shea, but I’m always gonna miss the 30 layers of thick blue paint on every surface of that old stadium, and buying the cheapest tickets but getting hooked up and actually sitting front row thanks to some great ushers (shout out to Vinny and John). But the new stadium has a Shake Shack and a restaurant in left field owned by the same guys as Nobu and Tribeca Grille, so I can’t complain.
