Why Most New York Mets Fans Rejected Citi Field at First | TFC Stadiums

 I was going through YouTube the other night and came across this video about Citi Field. Its interesting.

Citi Field opened in 2009 as the modern replacement for Shea Stadium, but the New York Mets’ new home immediately faced criticism. Its architecture appeared to celebrate Ebbets Field and the Brooklyn Dodgers more prominently than Mets history, while its enormous outfield dimensions frustrated hitters and changed how games were played. Over the following years, the Mets repeatedly altered the stadium. The outfield walls were moved inward, the fences were changed to Mets blue, franchise memorabilia was added throughout the building, and new spaces helped Citi Field develop an identity of its own. This video follows the full history of Citi Field, from the effort to replace Shea Stadium and the controversial financing arrangement to the stadium’s construction, opening season, design problems, postseason moments and major upgrades under Steve Cohen. We also look at the Jackie Robinson Rotunda, the Home Run Apple, the 2015 World Series, Citi Field’s enormous new scoreboard and the larger transformation now taking place around Willets Point. What do you think of Citi Field today? Has it become one of Major League Baseball’s better modern stadiums, or does it still lack the character of Shea Stadium?
