Last week, a friend of mine who has season tickets to the Cyclones (the farm team for the New York Mets) out at Coney Island, invited us out to watch a game with her. I recently saw a game at the Mets’ new Citi Field (which replaced Shea Stadium) and I was surprised by how close we were to the field at the Cyclones–definitely a more intimate experience than at Citi Field, though I liked the new Citi Field as well. It’s a beautiful environment out at Coney though–you can see the Parachute Jump from the World’s Fair in the background of this photo, which adds a nice nostalgic touch to the game.
