Mail: Name The Mets Citi Field Bridge After Bill Shea?

Catching up on the comments section:

A new comment on your post "So we mentioned Where Was Everybody? during Thursd...":

it doesnt matter just stop complaining like u always do and just be thankful we have a new stadium.
and the mets r gonna win with black uniforms its 6-1 

Complaining about the black uniforms is one of the main reasons this blog exists, so I can't help you there.   I'm not complaining about the Phillies game attendance, I just find it remarkable that there's a new stadium and  a "heated rivalry" and nobody goes.  



A decent amount of the fanbase agrees about the black.  Way back I asked "Why Are Mets Uniforms A State Secret?": 

I agree and have thought this way for some time. The uniforms up to 1978 were classy, please go back to them. 






The sentiment below I just don't understand:  Re:  "Worst Mets Citi Field Obstructed View Ever (Video!...": 

Oh boo hoo. Grow 3 inches so you can see over the railing. Or better yet, go hang out at any of the hundreds of standing room tables and get a great view without being constricted to a seat. 

I guess that was to get me riled up?   The solution is to not use your seat and go stand?  Why not just have a seatless stadium and back in 115,000 standees?




DyHrdMET has left a new comment on your post "How To "Mets Up" Citi Field By Borrowing Ideas Fro...":

While I don't normally support the Yankees and what they do, I saw from the start that they got this part right. I've posted several times on my Mets-focused blog about what Citi Field is lacking. The other day, I put up some suggestions for the Mets, somewhat along these lines, although without the baseball cards or holograms (Tom Seaver morphing into Sandy Koufax?).

I'm noticing on Twitter (@metspolice) a lot of people don't care for the black outfield fence.   A comment on "Solutions For Citi Field's Obstructed View Problem...": 

They should paint that bridge (behind center field) orange and blue & call it the Shea Bridge....bridging the past....bridging Shea to Citi....and it would add some much needed color. 

I really like the idea of the Bill Shea Bridge.



Pile on the Yankees week was lots of fun..."Yankee Stadium Audi Club $65 Facility Charge (New ...":

You're terrific. They all got up at the same time to grab some chicken fingers! Right!

Please keep this up. I hope your sarcasm and lots more will reach that greedy Yankee management. Imagine deserting a perfectly good stadium, that could have been renovated and updated, to create this palace of gluttony. 


And one a nice note. a birthday wish for John Maine.

Happy B/day John (Maine) from 22401! I moved down to Fredericksburg three years ago and miss the Mets so much! Everytime John pitches the Free Lance Star (very local paper) writes something about the Mets,a nice change from the woeful Nationals and the O's and the full coverage of the fishing reports - gosh I miss the big apple and real sports!

I AGREE 200000%...

Paint the bridge Orange and Blue with some fancy bright LED lighting and call it the Shea Bridge, bridging Citi Field to OUR rich history at Shea....and obviously in honor of Mr. W Shea who was crucial in the existence of our Mets! It would really stand out and contrast against the green seats and black walls of the stadium/field. THANKS!

Howzabout "The Tug McGraw Bridge"? Hell, I've named it "Stengal Stadium", so I think I shall stroll across the McGraw Bridge to get a beer!!

Wake up. They need to make the bridge look like the bridge in the Mets logo. It makes no sense to have an arch bridge. Make it a suspension bridge, put up the METS in script behind it with a silhouette of the city skyline on top and it will look like a huge 3-D Met logo.
