As we got our first look inside the nearly complete Citi Field yesterday, I must say it is absolutely beautiful. Except for one thing.The green seats.
At Shea (after the renovation, at least) we were blessed with four areas of different color seats. Blue, orange (both of which make sense), red and green. Now, in Citi Field, it looks like the Mets have gone with just one color.
And that color is not blue or orange. It's a dark, dark green. That's not anywhere near any of the Mets colors.
Maybe is has something to do with the fact that Citigroup is dishing $20 million a year to put their name everywhere (green : money :: blue and orange : Mets).
Also, have you ever tried to sit or touch anything black, or very dark green in this case, on a hot, sunny day in the summer? Those seats are going to be boiling hot for most day games. I'd recommend bringing a damp towel with you to cool it down on hot days. That, or a pack of hot dogs -- you might be able to grill 'em up right on your seat.
Blue! Orange! Not green!
