New Yankee Stadium 1st Impression: Citi Field Way Better

SS

Let me say I'm not a hater. In fact I get grief from Mets fans for not hating. I'm wearing a Yankee hat and sweatshirt today...I'm underwhlemed.

Maybe it's because I entered thru Gate 8 and looped my way around the outfield and haven't done the Great Hall or whatever other surprises await...

..But all I see is concrete and gray conderblocks. I don't think the ghosts came. I feel like I'm at New Comiskey or Generic early 90s stadium.

I'm off to look for cool things but after one hour...the Mets have the way better park. It's not even close.

I was there today as well. I was not too impressed. It was nice don't get me wrong but there was a lot of exposed pipes, the concourses are not as wide, there were a lot of long lines/log jams at concessions, and the stadium itself looks almost exactly like to old one. What exactly did 1.6 Billion dollars buy them?

And what is this spider web of steel? Very attractive.

What are you talking about, I found Citi much more crowded than the new Yankee stadium. Granted, I entered through Gate 6 which is the Great Hall, which was very impressive.

I went to both new parks this weekend and I think that Citi Field is much nicer too. I prefer the smaller, more intimate retro-style stadiums and that's what Citi-Field is. I do think Yankee Stadium looks beautiful from the outside but inside it feels like being in a big cinderblock.
