Edit, 3/12/11: The Mets have announced the last two sections of the Left Field Landing have been renamed Mr. Mets Landing, and discounted. Many of the pictures here, and in the full album here, are from this section.
Edit, 4/1/11: And now it’s sponsored and called BJ’s Clubhouse.
Since Citi Field was mostly empty last night due to the team and the rain, I moved all over the Left Field Landing section where my seats were to get a feel for it. I’ve never sat there before, and I was surprisingly impressed with the vantage point. At least from the front six or so rows. Further back and you lose too much of left field for my liking. I ventured out to the farthest section, 339, and it was almost the same as watching it at home, from the center field camera. Actually, I could’ve reached out and touched the camera.
There was this interesting thing out above the Apple, that seems to report wind speed and direction.
I’m going to Citi Field, courtesy of a non baseball-watching friend who got two tickets for donating blood. (I actually haven’t figured out whom to give the spare one to) The Mets are virtually out of it, merely at .500, and 8 full games away from even sniffing a playoff spot. I’m not going to say “It’s over” because stranger things have happened, but until they rattle off a streak better than 4-3, even I’m not going to be hanging on every game like it’s a pennant race. So will anyone be out at the game tonight? Someone suggested I should try the dunk tank and pretend it’s Oliver Perez sitting on it. I’ll explore the free giveaways at the Verizon Studio, and see if the seasonal beers have changed to fall yet.
