Home Run!

The Mets sure scored a home run with having Citi Field as their home park. It is the coolest place I have ever been to. It is just soooooo amazing! I am going to tell you about Citi Field

Arriving At Citi Field

We were almost there, and I was so excited! I asked and we were just soon about there. We were on a highway and I saw the Met's Citi Filed sign that they have on top of their scoreboard. I was so very excited when I saw that, i was going crazy. We got there about 2 minutes later. I saw the stadium, it was beautiful! It looked just like pictures, and it was just amazing. it is like a magical painting coming to life. We saw the fan walk, and found Michael's brick that he has that says "It's All About Baseball And Mets"  (with his full name on it). I wish I could have one, because it is a piece of Citi Field. There were tons of bricks with stuff on them. They were so cool! And then we went in, and it was magical and awesome. When you first go in it is the Jackie Robinson rotunda. It was very nice. Then there was a big cool Met's Gift Shop called The Team Store or something. I really wanted to go in. Citi Field was beautiful, old fashioned, modern, retro, and kid friendly. They had tons of food court places and stands. It was amazing!

Food

The food was amazing. From typical ballpark food (hamburgers, pizza, hot dogs, french fries) which were amazing and cooked to perfection, to seafood and Subway, Italian food and Mexican food it was just amazing! I got pizza, and it was really good. They have a big area with tons of food places, and picnic benches and tables. You were outside yet in the stadium. It was so magnificent! They had famous places ( famous from Citi field) like Shake Shack and Blue Smoke. Everything was just great. They also had Dip n' Dots (ice cream dots) and Blue (for mets) cotton candy, pretzals, popcorn, nachos, and so much more! They also had 5 star restauraunts. The food was the best!

Great for Families

Wait, wait, let me rephrase that- Perfect for families! They have a kid section near the big outside food section. It has a mini field where kids can go and try to hit home runs. I didn't see it up close and personal, but I saw a lot of pictures of it. I would've went into it, but I think it is for younger kids. They also have a "Hershey Park Dunk Tank" where someone who has the job goes in, puts on a jersey of the opposing team on, and you line up to try to throw the ball and dunk her. It is filled with pillows. There is a thing that records how fast you throw the ball. The kid who threw the fastest ball would get a prize. I didn't do this, but I wish I did. We were to busy. But for sure, Citi Field is perfect for families!

Gift Shop

At one point in the game, the had to get a new Umpire at home plate because the ump was hurt, so that took a while. So me and my dad decided to go to the gift shop, The Team Store. It was amazing! They had so many great things it took me a very long time to decide on what to get. They had Met's T-Shirts, a shirt that said "Professor Reyes", bobble heads, Mr.Met stuffed animals, tons of unique met hats, met pens, foam fingers, pennants, key chains, figurines of met players, mini colored bats, unique baseballs, and so much more. I got a pink mini bat that said Met's on it, and a a baseball card pack of 50 cards with just Met players to share with the family. The gift shop was spectacular, I could of lived there!

The Actual Field

We got in our seats which we didn't think were close, yet they were pretty close. Although we couldn't see the scoreboard, it was fine. The good thing is at one point it was raining (there was a rain delay) yet there was a thing over us and we were covered. The seats were a little bit bigger and had more leg room, and the field was great. Something that I thought was really cool was you can see the met's in the Met's dugout which looked very nice. During the rain delay, me and my mom waved big at the dugout, and I swear, it really looked like one of the players waved back. So, the field was out of this world!

Citi Field Rocks

Everything about Citi Filed was great. All of it was amazing! I enjoyed going to Citi Filed even thoughn sadly the mets lost. I can't imagine the new Yankee Stadium being even near as nice as Citi Field. Yes, I know the new Yankee Stadium is nice, but for sure not close to as nice as Citi Field. One thing I can say is that Yankee Stadium is like a ballpark, but Citi Filed is like a baseball home.
