Lets Go Mets!

New York City has at least 2 of everything, 2 airports, 2 island boroughs, and 2 baseball teams. I have been to a couple Yankees games during our time here but never a Mets games. We decided that our next home group outing should be to a Mets game at Shea stadium just a few subway stops from our neighborhood. Greg got us tickets online and we all met up at the game. Here are Greg, Grace, and JenPlus Matt and Heather.
I love my husband but these were the worst seats ever purchased. We were on the Loge level which was a great height but we ended up at the back of the section under the overhang. I can't blame him really since there was no info about the view online but this is how we watched the game:
Anytime the ball went in the air we lost sight of it. We had to bend down to see the scoreboard. It was terrible. Plus there was a leaky pipe over a couple of our seats which was kind of gross for the people sitting there. The game was OK. A little slow most of the time. We had one home run and ended up winning the game which was great. The saddest part was walking down to the bottom of our section after the game was over to see this:
The view we could have had! This experience made me want to take in another Yankees game. No matter how bad my seats were in that stadium, they were always better than the Mets!

Well, at least you can say you were at the old Shea stadium. Soon it will be gone...
