Last week, my Western Michigan University friend came to visit for the week. Although since his engine died on the way and the visit did not start out well. We had a good time on the east coast and caught end of the most recent Houston Astros' visit to Citi Field in Queens.
Despite the play on the field, the new home of the New York Metropolitans is significantly better than the new place in the Bronx.
A view from the upper deck prior at the start of the game. Citi Field was built in such a way that you can see the game from just about anywhere in the stadium. Below is a picture from the lower deck.
The Mets broke their long home losing streak in beating the Astros 9-1. I was looking forward to seeing former Phillies J.A. Happ pitch but the Mets got the best of him. Going into this Thursday night game both teams were in last place and this season was not looking promising to either franchise.As much as I do not want to admit it, Mets fans are good fans. There was an announced attendance of over 30,000. Considering the weather and the current anger of Mets fans, I was rather impressed with the support for the team. If you go to watch the Phillies beat the Mets in Queens, make sure to check out the Jackie Rotunda.

It was a great game for the New York Metropolitans baseball organization - glad you're posting on the site! From your Western Michigan University friend Andy - P.S. I made it back home fine, still looking for a new car.
