Scoreboard Shots Of The Citi Field Noise Nonsense At Subway Series

SS

,

Thanks to Media Goon for sending over these pics taken during the recent Subway Series at Shea.   Oops Citi.  I chose not to correct that mistake - shows how my brain still works.

Anyway, it's a good example of one of the many little things the Mets do wrong.






Yeah, lets rock this city!!!!!  (Really?  Who is the target audience for this crap?)















Howie Rose said it best last weekend when he observed on-air that New Yorkers at a Mets-Yankees game don't need to be told to make noise.

This is embarrassing and actually makes the in-stadium experience less enjoyable.

With the Make Noise Department I feel like I'm falling on deaf ears...

Seriously, I've always wondered whether the department has complete autonomy or who on the Mets Hierarchy higher up gives there two cents, for example, is it Jeff Wilpon who says, hey, we need more noise in here so we can sell more sponsorships, or placate our present sponsors?

Or does the department just go to it's annual trade shows to exchange notes on what other teams in other sports are doing to maintain (or ruin) a buzz.

One thing appears imminent, the NBA style of public address guy will make it's way to MLB, in fact, I think I have heard one or two teams, where the public address guy elongates the players name.

Bob Shepard would die if he heard any of it.

Every single stadium does this now, it's not a big deal. Seeing as the crowd is often consisted of a lot of indifferent people (businessmen, young kids, people going with friends), you have to try to get them pumped up.

I don't understand why we have to go back to like 1910 when making any noise was frowned upon.
