Does anyone miss the neon figures on the outside of Shea? They weren’t the prettiest, or the classiest, but they gave the place a unique character that many Mets fans enjoyed. It’s cool that they incorporated the images into the carpets in the clubhouse, but I think a lot of what people miss about Shea is that uniqueness that right now is missing from Citi Field in many instances.

Coors Field in Colorado features this on the side of the building. Ignore the awesome fact that it’s actually over a park entrance that’s also a brewery where Coors tests experimental brews, and it’s still something that I would love to see at Citi Field. Maybe instead of this simple play at the plate, they could do something similar where the ball gets under a fielder’s glove (Buckner’s?) and it flashes “Mets Win!”
I thought Citifield was the mets idea of getting away from the quirkiness that has haunted the organization and the fans…
Constantly criticized for the way Shea looked and held up… I think it’s time we let it go and embrace a beautiful stadium
I for one miss the neon. I used to love going to a night game and looking back at the stadium after the game as we walked to our cars. There was something special about how they lit up the night and it really gave Shea so much character.
