The grounds are extraordinary; from the Jackie Robinson rotunda to the sweet smells of delicious eats everywhere (except where you are sitting of course). I believe the smells are reflective of the ethnic diversity of queens. I smelt all types of foods while walking around this amazing place. One thing I would seriously not like to overlook was the abundance of Citibank ATMs. Now, of course you would imagine this being an obvious place for a bank named Baseball Park but take a moment to think about it. You are sitting down at the game, wishing for an ice-cold brew but you didn’t take out any money because you were rushing for the 1st inning. Would you want to pay the surcharge in most baseball fields to get cash or just take cash right out of your CITIBANK account…wait for it….brilliant!
Another item I would like to mention was how Citi field has done a great job of making ever patron feel as though they are special. There was a location to relax, mingle and enjoy a brew with friends and family, for each “type” of ticket holder. This is a change from most stadiums where places to kick back in a lounge setting is usually reserved for those who have paid top bill on their tickets. The Mets have done a great job to realize that all the patrons of baseball have paid, in some way, top bill for their tickets and the Mets have welcomed said ticket holder with a small, but very awesome, perk.
Unfortunately, the game today went by so quickly I really didn’t get a chance to explore as many nooks as I had wanted as well as sample all the different options of eateries available. Below are the shots I took from my Citi Field experience, one I hope is share by all those who venture out of the City to get a taste of Citi…I know, give me a break…GO M E T S!
