Hi... good job on your site. Keep up the good work.
Citi-field is a very nice ball park. I've been there twice already and will be there 3 more times before the end of May. If you cant see the entire field of play, I don't think its the end of the world. The most important thing is being able to see the infield along with the pitcher and the batter. Unfortunately this is not the case up in the promenade. I had to send this video in to you guys from the game on April 17. My seat was in section 527, row 3 seat 3.
It seems that every section in the promenade along the left and right field lines has obstructed views from the plexi-glass and handrails (not to mention all the people going up and down the stairs). The obstruction is about from seat 1 through 6 in rows 1 through 4. That's (6x4)= 24 seats in every section along the lines in the promenade. The Mets didn't do a good job on this. This was annoying. I rather stand all 9 innings than sit here. I noticed that behind home plate, there are several tunnel entrances to the promenade just like Shea had. The whole promenade should have been designed this way. I've been to approximately 200 games at Shea stadium the past 22 years and sat just about all over the place. Shea never had crappy seats like this. Sorry. Check out this video I have posted on YouTube.
I of course stand by the official position of the Mets and that there are no obstructed views.
The way we characterize “obstructed” is if you have an obstruction, something in front of you — a beam, a pillar, something that’s blocking your view. That’s not the case here. It is a function of the geometry of the building.
If you have any more of these clearly CGI'd videos or pictures send them to pictures@metspolice.com

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.

Mets traditions?
I asked fans for a list of Mets traditions, and we didn't come up with many. How is Banner Day any harder to have than a Mr. Met Dash? Either way it's people walking on dirt. Click the pic for the list.
