News: Mets Additions to Citi Field
The Mets today will unveil several enhancements to Citi Field highlighted by new HD video boards in Right Field and on the Promenade Level, as well as another in Left Field and down the third base line, among others.
…i.e., they’re finally turning them on…
Also, they have begun installing photographic imagery of famous Mets and historic moments in team history on the Field and Promenade Levels.
For instance, the image in this post, of Darryl Strawberry, Keith Hernandez and Dwight Gooden, will cover the side of the Empire Suites by section 106 in the Right Field corner on the Field Level, while another celebrating the 1969 World Series championship will cover the other end of the Empire Suite Level on the third base side near section 126 on the Field Level, among others.
…i appreciate the effort… i do… but, is it me, or do the Mets seem to be shying away from their traditional blue and orange… first, these pictures and the ones outside are all black and white, muting the vivid uniform we’ve come to know and love… second, if you notice, the blue and orange they do incorporate around the ballpark is actually the dark navy-blue and red-orange from the Citigroup color scheme… anyway, it’s just something i have noticed the last few times i was there, then reminded of when seeing these new photos…
Additionally, championship banners are now on display on the wall in left field.
…nice… no brainer… as opposed to sticking them out back, under the bridge, where they had been hiding… thanks…
According to the release, “The Mets will announce plans for additional recognition of club history in the weeks ahead.”
