MetsGrrl was ready to be disappointed by Citi Field, but it’s even better than the descriptions she heard. It turned out, they also told the truth about her new seats:

So this is the part where I say, “You know how they kept saying how even though you might be higher, you’re closer to the field, and I kept saying, ‘Yeah right, idiots, do you think I’m stupid, you’re just trying to spin it so everyone who got relocated from the mezz isn’t pissed off.” I am almost sorry to report that they’re telling the truth. I know, I know. You don’t believe me either. I don’t know if it’s an optical illusion – part of it is – but by moving the backstop back, home plate is brought in closer to the stands. The final proof will be when I am sitting in those seats and taking photos of actual baseball players. I should have done that today, but instead we just – enjoyed the view.

The whole three page post is worth your time for the pictures alone. Metsgrrl paints a picture of a stadium that Mets fans will find a joy to call home.
