The people that work there are great and they recently bought a flatscreen. If the city does eminent domain on that place the mets should have them open up a spot within the stadium. Ive been going to rays for pre and post game fun for close to ten years and its a blast!

Is the outfield wall green or black? Hey Matt, I can’t quite tell from your pictures, and I’ve been trying to figure this out. Is the outfield wall green or black?

The first two rows in the upper deck box is a nightmare. The fans in the first 3 or 4 rows in the promenade section will be craning their necks around the people milling about in the aisles. The various plexiglas boxes are a major problem if you're behind one of them. I just don't understand the attraction of going to a game, then sitting in a restaurant with a poor view of the action. Wouldn't going to an actual restaurant with a view of a big screen TV be better? That being said, it is a nice ballpark in many instances. I just feel, as in the new Yankee Stadium, they spend more time worrying about everything other than actually watching the game. What about all the obstructed seats?

At Chase, there are numerous bars immediately across the plaza from the stadium. They should look to Chase Field in Phoenix as to how to put in bars outside.
