Something that might be fairly easy to do would be to put something up on the huge concrete walls in the stair cases. Right now they are unfinished and very cold. It wouldn't take much to put up a different poster on each level, or paint them with mets colors and logos. Just a small thing that would add more of a "Mets feel" to an area walked up and down by thousands of fans before, during and after games.
Good point though I should have mentioned my friend has a 15 game plan and I don't think tours were offered for those. Like I said, I'm thrilled with my seats, especailly since I'm paying only a little more than last year, but at the same time I could see how it might piss someone off to pay full price for a 15 game plan and be unable to see half of the outfield.
To be fair, at shea those seats were listed as "back rows" and were priced much lower than the rows further up in the same section. Don't get me wrong I love Citi Field and the view from my season seats behind the plate in the promenade are great, but I was at the game with my friend last night and he showed me his seats in the promenade box in left field and he couldn't see almost half the outfield. I feel like maybe the Mets should, after this season, reevaluate the views from certain seats and lower the prices for some of them accordingly as they had at shea. I doubt this will happen, but I can see why some people, like my friend, have something to be upset about.
I was sitting right in front of that kid and I'm still mad at myself for not pulling him back...I told myself before the game if something like that happened on a pop up hit by the padres, I'd pull anyone back who tried to get in the way but this happened too fast. I still don't think Reyes would have scored unless it took a crazy bounce, and the kid was kicked out of his seats. I put a video of the play on youtube (sorry the quality is so bad). I'm the one in the blue hat and north face jacket. It looks like it would have gone right the the left fielder and if it did, I think Reyes holds up at third.

OK for some reason I missed the last 2 sentences of this guys post (I'm still waking up). Now that I see this I have no problem with you getting on him...Still, as far as the timely hitting goes, there really wasn't much last night. I know you shouldn't complain about scoring 7 runs, but this is more of an observation than a compaint. Having said this I do not think this team will have any problems scoring runs or getting timely hits for the rest of the year.
Were you watching the game? Where exactly was the timely hitting? 1 of the 2 runs in the 4th were scored on a double play, and when they scored 4 runs in the 7th, they only had one hit and it was a bunt- 3 runs scored on wild pitches for crying out loud...Delgado's Home Run was a bomb but it came in the 8th with a 5 run lead. Beltran did have a big hit but that was the only big hit of the game. I'm obviously very happy that they won, but just because they scored 7 runs doesn't mean that it was because of timely hitting.
I agree, I love it...What bad things are people saying about it?
I agree. I only get 10 vacation days a year and while I would have taken one to go to opening day, I'm very happy that I can go tonight without having to use one.
Obviously losing one of our better every day players (reyes, wright, beltran, delgado) would be devistating, but losing Johan would be worse than any of them. I'm worried about our staff enough with him there, I don't even want to think about what it would be like without him.
I was actually in favor of signing Ollie for what we did over Lowe for what the Braves paid and obviously you can't assess much after only one start from Lowe. I'm just a little down on Ollie since he came into camp out of shape and his last start really scares me. He's a guy that needs to be focused 100% and I'm worried that he will have a hard time focusing after signing a big contract.
