Let's hope that's what the rest of the NL East will experience when they visit, as opposed to the prone greeting recent Met teams have been offering. Field of Fail.

The wind patterns are going to be different from Shea apart from the presence of stands in the outfield and the relative lowness of the upper rim of the park . Then there's the question of the sun and how it will affect fielding. The dimensions would seem to make it a fair park. It'll be interesting.

If look at the outfield theres going to be seats out there that would block the wind so the ball will carry much better. I pretty sure its going to be more of a hitters park.

Carlos Beltran is going to love that right center field fence huh? Wow. Better hit em down the line. CBP is nice, but it is a joke of a ballpark playing wise.

New ballparks like Citizen's Boink are a complete joke, like arena baseball. It seems like it’ll be a pitchers park, and hopefully so.
