The Mets Police: New Yankee Stadium Looks Drab

New Yankee Stadium Looks Drab

So yeah I've been writing about the Yankees an awful lot. It's hard to ignore A-Rod, and for some reason way more pics of New New Yankee have leaked out than we've seen of C-Field. The super-solid New Stadium Insider posted about food at New Yankee Stadium yesterday (must have missed it while enjoying a beer). You can read about the food over there.

What strikes me is how drab the place looks. It looks like 1975 Coney Island. These gratings are ugly. The place looks a public high school or maybe the lobby of a housing project. Everything is just gray and more gray and cement.

Maybe it just doesn't photograph well? Anybody reading this actually been in the new place? I want to like it...but it's ugly.

I'll get back on the Mets if there's every anything to talk about. It's been a long month with 16 guys out of camp. Where's Bobby V to do something stupid when I need him? Come on Jerry, stab someone.

The new stadium is meant to evoke the old stadium before it was rebuilt in the seventies. I remember back in the sixties we used to say that Yankee Stadium looked like a factory. I remember going up the gray ramp and then magically the contrast of the green emerald field and the smell of fresh grass exploded the senses.

If You're Visiting For The First Time

If you are visiting The Mets Police for the first time, welcome.

This blog aims to be a little different. We're less likely to complain about a pitching change than we are likely to complain about what the pitcher was wearing.

We're about Mets history and tradition. We'd like to see a Seaver statue at Citi Field. We'd like the black uniforms to go away. We'd like the team to always treat the fans with respect.

We're just regular old Mets fans like you who have migrated from the uppers to the Promenade where we were saddened when we found plexiglass. Finally, for all our complaining we just want the franchise to win the World Series (while nicely dressed).

The site is updated several times a day, usually morning, noon, and night (cliche but true) with other items as they come in.

Mets Police in no way claims to be news nor accurate, including anything to which we link. It's just a blog. Read the blog and/or take our advice at your own risk.

We strongly encourage everyone to support the New York Mets and their business partners, just don't wear a black jersey while doing so.

Welcome!
