You can root for the Mets without being convinced of their doom
The wind played havoc on the baseball last night, and I saw Shannon at Mets Police retweeting a couple of people at the game talking about how windy it was.
To give you an idea of how windy it gets, I’ve got a video below. This was taken in the cup holder in dead center field behind the Big Apple seats.
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.
