Yea we’ve all seen hundreds of pics and read countless reviews on the field but the Real Mets Ham will say this… Last night while waiting in the pouring rain for my lady to pick me up from the Willets Point Subway Station to head to a gathering in Flushing, I decided to walk to that glorious looking stadium and get my first in person glimpse of the palace. Let me tell you that while the pictures are great and writeups give a good insight on the stadium, there is absolutely nothing like being there in person to see it for yourself. I walked up to the Jackie Robinson Rotunda(how funny is the word rotunda?) and a helpful security guard (who was also a yankees fan!!) told me I couldn’t enter the stadium but he chatted with me for a good 10 minutes about the many featues the new stadium has and also pointed out the locations of the new Mets teamstore and luxury boxes that the Wilpons will be utilizing. I havent stepped foot in the mecca yet but let me tell you I can’t even begin to express how excited I am to enjoy many an experience at this ballpark. It’s classy and it’s definitely something the city of NY should be proud of. Obviously for most people like myself and especially in this economy it’s going to be tough to afford great seats to a game but I’d recommend taking a tour of the stadium or buying cheap seats(I’ve already done so) just to experience the park and get away from it all. There is so much to do at the stadium that you could probably spend the whole time there walking around without even hitting your seat to watch the game. I hope all of you enjoy this beautiful place and cherish it like I will.
