		<description>I agree with the Logo, I is really bad! How long did it take and how much money did someone get paid to come up with that? They must of been eating Domino&#039;s for lunch!! Also, I don&#039;t like the green seats. why not the navy blue that a lot of the new parks have. The Mets logo on the green seat looks off. Maybe, I am nit picking here. Anyway, it is going to be great can&#039;t wait!</description>

		<description>Mr. Ceetar, there will be at least one honor for a Brooklyn Dodgers player.  The main rotunda is named the Jackie Robinson Rotunda - hard to give a bigger honor than that.</description>

		<description>the Idea that this place is some tribute to the Dodgers is stupid.  Sure, there will be some names, and some facades and tributes to baseball legends and the origins of professional baseball in New York.  There will also be the same retired numbers as at Shea, there will be banners for both (all three?) championships.  There will be an apple.  The theme is the city/citi that the Mets play in, with that bridge motiff that looks great.  

There will be more too, they just haven&#039;t decided on it all yet, and there is always time to add more.  Shea isn&#039;t quite dead yet, it might still have a little magic in it yet.  They can worry about which parts to immortalize in November.</description>

		<description>WOW... what is that I hear? Derp-a-derp? Go back and reread what I said and realize everything you just said is completely irrelevant to what I was talking about..

My points were people like teixeira, sabathia, etc. shouldn&#039;t be getting $100 million contracts to begin with, that there will always be enough people at games in NY to make boycotting irrelevant (and since I live upstate I only go to about 5 games a year anyway), and more than anything that if you agree something needs to be done about ticket prices/player salaries to DO something productive (not simply &quot;complaining on metsblog&quot; as you say I am doing or staging your own personal silent boycotts as you suggest that mean NOTHING) like writing to and getting the attention of people that have the power to do something.</description>

		<description>Wow, Cactus, you&#039;re actually sane. The &quot;free-marketeers&quot; on this blog have the delusion that the average individual can compete for tickets verses multi-billion-dollar corporations. Their delusion is coupled with a lack of empathy for the average human being. Their vision is shortsighted, too: How is a new fan base developed when kids can&#039;t enter a ballpark? Wilpon&#039;s Folly is cruel and unusual---a bizarre assumption that Queens needs a tribute stadium for a dead Brooklyn team (pity the old NY Giants!) with a Midwest-designed capacity. It denigrate NYC baseball---it&#039;s a shopping mall with eateries that just happens to contain a ball field that&#039;ll have all the passion of a game at san Diego. I won&#039;t bore you you to death with tales of my first impressions of Shea in June of 1970; I will tell you the top ticket then was $4. I will also tell you that I have  Saturday and Sunday Plans this year and hit a sundry 10 games in addition: about 36 games at Shea for about $600. I CAN afford season tickets at Wilpon&#039;s Folly; however, I will choose not to.</description>

		<description>These prices are ridiculous.

And before I hear the tired garbage that &#039;they can charge what they want&quot;, let&#039;s not forget that this stadium was built with over $170 million in public funds and they got TAX FREE bonds to finance the stadium.

In fact the Mets are currently seeking more tax-free financing for construction costs, while planning on charging people a minimum of $75 a ticket to sit anywhere but the upper deck.</description>

		<description>people that can afford it will go and people that can&#039;t afford it won&#039;t go.  i am guessing that the stadium will sell out most, if not every game next year.  whether that is through corporations or through individuals, the wilpon&#039;s make money which lets them spend money to improve the team we root for.  it&#039;s a business.  to think otherwise is not to think at all.</description>
