The Mets will make changes to Citi Field so there’s more Mets history than Dodgers history in the park:
The right-center field bridge will be named “Shea Bridge” after William A. Shea, for whom the team’s former stadium is named and the man who helped bring National League baseball back to New York. Other areas of the stadium will be named after Casey Stengel, Gil Hodges and Tom Seaver. Citi Field already has an Ebbets Club, the Jackie Robinson Rotunda and a facade based on the Dodgers’ old Brooklyn home.
The Mets also confirmed plans for a revitalized Mets Hall of Fame and Museum adjacent to the Rotunda, which will be accessible from inside or outside the ballpark. The Hall was located outside the Diamond Club at Shea but was not a part of the new ballpark in 2009.
What about the Cone/Strawberry/Gooden relaxation lounge?

I keep forgetting how many games did Jackie Robinson play for the Mets or at Shea?
They are going on 50 years as a franchise and they still don’t know who they are. Will someone tell these dunces that the Giants and Dodgers are still around, they are live franchises. It is their history, not yours. Stop hitching your wagon to the two teams that spit in the face of NYC and betrayed it. Stop worrying about the Yankees who aren’t in your division and put as much effort into worrying about the Phillies, Braves and Marlins.

With Citi going belly-up, it will soon be time to rename the club area…I like your suggestion.

I think they should name the bathrooms after the Wilpons cause that’s where they belong.
