My wife and I had the great pleasure of attending Johann Santana's 1-0 win last week at Citi Field in beautiful Flushing NY
01-- the suite we were in was open air---they have them designed so that is the weather turns bad you can leave the front two rows and go back in behind the sliding glass panel
02--- the field is unreal ---quite a change from Shea--BUT-- I did not think it was a fan friendly as Fenway PArk
03--entering and exiting needs some work especially for people not familiar with the area---parking is still a work in progress
04-- there does not appear to be a bad seat in the house
05-- the crowd was typical Mets crowd but a bit more subdued than I remember it--- perhaps because the expensive seats now have a much more adult and mature group--they are the ones who can afford the seats
06 the ushers and event staff are much more hospitable than previous even to the point of pretty ladies at the gates when you leave wishing you a good nite and a safe drive home along with the obligatory ( Hope to see you again---come back soon" farewell
Bottom Line---great nite and watched a great pitching performance by a great pitcher--- Santana may just be the best pitcher in the major leagues
