Which is why there should be an apple. It’s for the kids, the kids love it. Who cares what the “grown-ups” think. For the kids, baseball is still a game, a game thats suppose to be fun. The apple to them is fun. Dont you think they’ve taken enough of the game away from them? World Series, playoff, and All-Star games starting so late at night that they cant watch. Put a new one in the new stadium and keep the old one where kids can go up and see it, even touch it. Let’s keep their awe and wonder of going to a big league ballpark. Just like when you went as a kid.

every park is so up to date, but none get our apple right… there is one game that has the apple magically rise up like 20 feet in air as if it floats..

gipper913 took the words right out of my mouth, before all of this are we bringing the apple or not talk i knew it all along given that even in the earliest renderings of Citi Field even when it was called Mets ballpark you could clearly see an apple in CF. That being said at the construction site there is a concrete cylinder where you know… the apple will go. What do you expect them to put there.

Either if the apple is going to be repaired or if were getting a new one I think its common sense that the Mets aren’t going to bring that old apple that is in disrepair.

Whether you like the apple or not, gimmick or whatever you want to call it. The apple has become part of the Mets, Citi field would be incomplete without it. At this point the only thing that bothers me about Citi Field is the lack of seats, 45,000 seats isnt gonna cut it for a New York team. I don’t see the Mets getting worse over the next 5-8 years not with Omar or Wilpon because like em or not they have made us a contender and will be willing to spend big bucks when needed if Santana isnt an indication enough. 48 to 50,000 would have been better for Citi Field.

Anyway I’ll enjoy my last year at mezz. 18 hopefully with Kowalski there again in 08′

Well, as for having an apple at all, it’s a moot point, GIVEN THE LARGE ROUND HOLE IN THE CONCRETE IN CF AT CITI FIELD FOR AN APPLE!!!!!

Sheesh. New or old, there will be one. I vote for a shiny new apple for Citi Field and put the old one in the Mets museum.
