I’m a supporter of changing the walls back to the blue of Shea.

I think Citi is depressing, not just because the Mets were awful this year, but also because the stadium itself is drab. Some people saw Shea as garish with all the clashing colors, but I think it was fun and bright.

Now we have this enclosed stadium where you are surrounded by boring green seats, and advertisements everywhere you look. Put some color back into this place —

Bring back the orange and blue!

i am no designer but i think that the wall color looks better the way it is now considering the other colors of the park (green seats, etc)…i never got the ‘blue walls’ obsession a lot of fans seem to have…

Nope, I really could care less about the color of the walls.

Good, I don’t think SNY cameras could even see what was going on in there, let alone the pitchers see out of there. I wonder what they are gonna look like exactly. but I actually had an idea of moving them for straight away center, on either side of the Home run apple, that would’ve been cool, plus it give extra seating.
I think the Mo’s zone is fine, do remember that a pitcher hit a home run there(Paul Maholm).

I hate the dark grass near the apple. Why not real grass. And the wall should definatly be blue and orange. There’s more Dodger thing in Citi than MEts. The Dodger’s probablt think there playing at home when there at Citi.

The Mo’s zone should definately be moved in since it is like impossible to Hr’s there.

Please get rid of the stupid mo zone area. David Wright will be on this team for the next 10 years hopefully, please make it realistic for him to hit a HR to RF since thats where his power is anyway.

They needed to fix the bullpens. I couldn’t believe the way they were built. Really dumb. The first time I went to Citi Field, I went out near that apple expecting to see the players from both teams in a similar fashion to Philly. Instead I looked through 1 bullpen to see the other through at least 2 and maybe 3 mesh fences. The other thing is they need to remove the signage on the walls of the pen. Even if you reconfigure the walls, if you block the view with some stupid ad like Geico so that the players can’t see the field, then it doesn’t make a difference.

By the way, are the Mets changing the color of the walls to be blue? That black and orange was horrible.

Or maybe they have heard enough of the National broadcasts complaining endlessly about the bullpen. I know I have.
