Take me out to the ballgame...

I finally made it out to Citi Field (7 train goes right there) this past Friday night & was totally blown away by this new stadium. It is spectacular! The Architects must have been told design your fantasy ballpark & incorporate both old (Ebbets Field) & new technology into the design. From the moment you walk into the Jackie Robinson rotunda (personally...they should have named the stadium after him...he deserved it & I'm not a big fan of corporate named stadiums) you are blown away by the combination of brick & steel, modern versions of old gas-lights & old film projected up on the walls. There's not a bad seat in the house & you can get in for $30 bucks. Within the stadium it's like walking around a boardwalk with loads of vendors for food & drink (reasonably priced for a ballpark as well). On the top promenade it's open to the stars & they have picnic tables out! You can take a break from your seats to get a beer...hang out..watch the game on the big screens while you check out the talent walking by... This place was build for fans, it was built for friends & families to come out to see a ballgame...Let's hope this place is used as a template for future ballparks...
