Citi Field

[RichardK]

That Sportsnite segment was kind of weak. I wish they showed more footage and got a quote from one of the big 4.

Yeah I agree, it kind of left me wanting more... Like eating one potato chip

[met_dream]

Anyone know what time the doors open today? I want to get in there pretty early to look around, just in case they call the game.

What is the difference to the players if they play in the ballpark Fri or Sat? Really come on, you think the players will be upset if they play their first game Fri or Sat? Even the fans dont care, would it be nice if they played Fri and Sat....ofcourse. But do you think any fans besides the ones w/ tix for fri give a crap if they are rained out?

I believe someone mentioned you can exchange the tickets for a regular season game if it does get rained out, so that ain't bad so long as they let me wander the stadium before calling the game

Yeah, you can exchange your fri tix for a regular season game. Sounds like you win either way!

the gates will open at 3:40. The Rotunda will open at around 4:40. Its almost here!!

[Stormwatch]

I think I'm gonna do the same thing: get there early and look around before they call the game.

Okay I left the house at 7:30 AM and still to that point it was all yankees all the time. I know they had a camera at Citi did they ever do anything from Citifield?

[Shea 4 Life]

Yeah if they reschedule the game it will probably be for a tuesday @ 110 in September against the nats

Yeah, they did tons of stuff. They had a couple interviews with Mets staff about the field, did sports reporting from outside Citi, and even ate Mama's of Corona pastries with a faux Citi Field background.

I just won the bid on my Shea section sign! Woot!

[Dishy24]

Just talked to the ticket office-- Tonight I have 9 seats in the Wheel Chair section-- called to check what was available in WC for tomorrow afternoon-- I figured at $8 a pop, it was worth the risk--

The rep told me that "word around the office" was:

"The game is going to be played-- even if it is still a little rainy, it is supposed to be much lighter later... even if they have to delay a bit"

Even though there were plenty of WC seats left for tomorrow's game...He actually advised me NOT to buy tickets just yet!

I know this isn't the thread for this but just a quickie congrats on the sign. I'll tell you folks this that is one big... sign. Also you get better deals if you go to Meigrays warehouse.

Hey, even if they only play like 5 innings it's all good

If you heard Jeff Wilpon call into Boomer and Carton he told them that thery had no one to throw out the first pitch tonight so Jeff said for them to pick someone who calls in and is already a ticket holder for tonight to throw out pitch #1.

He also confirmed that a woman would be singing the National Anthem on Opening Night.

[RichardK]

Call me crazy but I'd like tonights game to go 9 innings with the Mets ending it on a walk-off.

[Tullydew]

Jeff Wilpon said on WFAN they have nobody to throw out the first pitch tonight. He called WFAN and asked Boomer & Carton to run a contest to throw out the first pitch tonight. So some Joe Schmo will be throwing out the first pitch. How could the Mets not have someone lined up to throw out the pitch?

So if anyone wants the chance call WFAN, just have a good arm!!

Well, I was the only bidder so hopefully I didn't pay too much more than what it would cost at the warehouse.

Dude... Don't be a jerk and bash... It's a really neat thing to do... Why have someone big throw out the first pitch, the Grand Opening is on April 13?

Think about the ovation Buckner would receive were he to throw out the first pitch.
