Note: Pics, Details of Citi Field Tour
Tom, a reader of MetsBlog.com, recently took a tour of the Citi Field construction site, during which he was able to walk on the ‘field,’ and in the ‘clubhouse.’
Go here to check out his pictures.
Tom also e-mailed in the following notes from his tour…
“The super told us to check back between Thanksgiving and Christmas and see the
tremendous progress on the rotunda. He noted that Fred Wilpon personally told him that if any section of the stadium is ‘spare no expenses’ it MUST be the rotunda.
“The Mets hope to move into the new offices my late Summer 2008.
“Shea Stadium demolition will begin immediately following the ‘last event’ in the facility.“We got a look at the drawings and there is a spot reserved for the Home Run Apple, most levels will be laid out with Concession Stand followed by bathroom, followed by another concession stand.
“There will be a ‘movie theater-like’ auditorium.”
…hmm, i wonder if the movie theater-like auditorium will be used to host Mets at the Movies events, like the team did last season near Broadway as a way to get fans together for road games…that’s a total guess, but a logical one, and a clever one, i would think…
