New York Mets at Citi Field

The New York Mets are a Major League Baseball team that competes in the National League East Division. Since the franchise was established in 1962 this team has become one of the favorites of people from one side of the country to the next. Although they have to share New York with the Yankees, the Mets do not seem to mind as they have a very solid fan base.

One of the most unique things about the Mets franchise is that they have been playing in Shea Stadium since 1964. Although this is an old venue, it still has a lot to offer both fans and teams. And of course, the Mets love this stadium because it gives them a nice home field advantage.

Over the years, the Mets have had quite a few great players wear their jersey. Some of the best include Gary Carter, John Franco, Keith Hernandez, Tom Seaver, Gil Hodges, and many more.

Even when the Mets are having a bad year, tickets are still hard to come by. New Yorkers love sports, and this has made Mets tickets very popular as of late.

Although the Mets have not won as much as the Yankees, the people of New York City still love them. It is safe to say that this is going to hold true for many years to come.

Citi Field was designed by HOK Sport. The $850 million Citi Field is being subsidized with $450 million in public funds. As you can see, no details were left untouched during the construction of this stadium. The Mets wanted it to be among the best in the MLB, and that is exactly what they got.

The first game played at Citi Field was on April 3, 2009 - a charity exhibition game against the Boston Red Sox. The first regular season home game was played on April 13, 2009 against the San Diego Padres.

With a seating capacity of 41,800, Citi Field is one of the largest baseball only stadiums in the league. Even though the venue is new, Citi Field tickets are still available.

Paul McCartney had the honor of playing the first concert at Citi Field on July 17, 2009. It is safe to say that many more musical events will play out at this venue in the future.

There are many stadiums in the United States, but not many are better than Citi Field. With a lot to offer fans and players, this venue will be popular for many years to come. Mets fans are hoping that their new home treats them as well as their old one!
