All the renderings have green seats. The blue-gray seems coller, more unique, and match the stadium steel. Thanks for the info!

People just like to talk to hear their heads rattle... Not to mention, I remember Cerrone being excited for Citi Field long before this SNY partnership.

In comparison to Shea, thats about where that extension of the outfield bleachers are (that area where someone hit a ball over, but it came back in and it was initially ruled it hit the wall and then someone saw the replay and it got changed to a home run). Maybe I'm crazy, but it seems like a lot of balls leave the park at that point. Kinda scary. any one concerned about that 18 foot high wall in terms of a hitters stand point.

Apparently (at least for the Mets), they've already starting removing some things (like signs and posters and replaced them with replicas in anticipation of fans removing stuff from the stadium. Proceeds will be split between the City and the teams.

Believe me, I will and can afford tickets....there is just going to be more non fans going and less seats for REAL fans.
