Incorrect analogy, I was not trying to be inflammatory, I’ll leave that to the people who over react to the mention of the-team-who-must-not-be-named…

Someone’s a little sensitive here, but it’s not me.
Can you talk politics without bringing up Bush?
Can you talk football without bringing up the Patriots?
You’re masking your hurt feelings, being all tough…
Get over it.

I frankly don’t care what the logo looks like, but gun-to-my-head-opinion: It’s quite awful.

I guess I was hoping that this blog was read by people in my income bracket. Apparently not. Clearly Citi-Arena wont affect everyone the same way, thats what im upset about…the rich will find this quaint, intimate setting quite nice i am sure. But the rest of us who wont be able to secure tickets unless we shell out dough on stubhub are getting screwed.

I am not just being a hater for the sake of hating…honestly im not. I would LOVE to be proven wrong, in fact i am hoping i AM proven wrong…but until that day happens I am also hoping to inspire people to speak out against the BS that has taken place in designing a “stadium” in new york city that only holds 45,000 people!!!!!

CarolinaMetFan.

The logo was designed by Citigroup….not the Mets. Read the article on Mets.com.

So why does a stadium NEED a logo anyhow?

Shea never had a logo.

Plus, if you read the article on mets.com…it was Citi and their ad team that came up with the logo…not the Mets. Apparently, the naming rights deal includes right to design the logo.

Yes, but high prices = high demand also means = the team / franchise is good and financially healthy. These are *good* things!

And, while I am fairly sure they are keeping seating at well under $50per in the Citi nosebleeds (which aren’t even nosebleed they are so close to the action)…you’re telling me you won’t shell out the equivalent of like 10 Starbucks lattes to see the Mets? 50 bucks is pocket change these days!

I am stuck on the West Coast, so I can only catch the Mets during West Coast or AZ trips and when I am in NY visiting family/friends. Since I only get to see them in person a few times a year, I try to get great seats (within 5-10 rows of the field, usually behind the Mets dugout) by going on StubHub. When one pays hundreds per seat like I do….$50 seems very reasonable!

Finally, it also just looks and feels so much better to see a nearly full house on craptastic home games against bad teams in April than to see whole swaths of empty red and green seats like at Shea. Sadly, those swaths of empty seats were at Shea last year in May and June also!

Do you lose some “loudness” for the playoff games? Maybe – but keep in mind the crappy seats at Citi will be closer than the upper deck in Shea…as will all the seats at Citi…in a more enclosed environment…..I think it may be louder than in the horseshoe bowl at Shea where the seats are so far back from the field and pointing out toward the parking lot.

Plus, do you have any doubt that the fans in the new RF Upper Deck porch area will fail to have that deck rockin?
