On Sunday, March 29th Citi Field opened its doors to the public for the first time. St. John’s University faced off against the Georgetown Hoyas for an NCAA sanctioned game at the new ball park. As an attendee, I was blown away by Citi Field and the facilities it boasts. It was hard to accept that this 632 million dollar, state of the art stadium now belongs to the New York Mets.
Without further ado, what you all have been waiting for… the photo gallery! Keep clicking on the photos to enlarge.
I warned you… Tickets to Citi Field’s first public event sold out in 45 minutes according to mets.com. Big props to our writer Greg Howes for snagging 8 tickets at 10:00:01 AM. I was unfortunately shoveling mass quantities of snow and when I came inside at 10:30 I found myself out of luck. Fortunately, I was offered one of the seats, sorry everyone else. If your going to be at the game we will be sitting at the 100 level – section 128 – row 24 – seats 8-15.
Anyone else going to the game feel free to send us any photos from Citi Field’s inaugural night. We will be creating an opening night photo gallery and would like to feature some of our readers in it.
