Greg,

Come to think of it, the Mets have been truthful with us with their advertising. Haven’t they been touting to “see the Mets in HD”? We were just incorrect taking that to mean SNY and not Citi Field.

Dak, in previous seasons I’ve had good luck getting opening day tickets at reasonable prices directly from the Mets a few days before the game. Often times additional seats become available as the game draws closer.

Dak, don’t assume that the choice of seating you had today represents the inventory available. They’ve had presales every day starting Sunday. Every time there was a limited amount of Opening Day inventory available. Try again on Sunday for the general presale.

I was thrilled this morning to get on the website and use my secret password to order single-game tickets; more so when I got through quickly for Opening Day. Much less so when I saw the only seats they were offering me were $140 Field Box seats way the hell down the third base line. Seriously, I am not spending $600 for mediocre seats in the (likely) rain.

I attended Opening Day religiously for decades until their greed precluded me from doing so last year. I blithely assumed this year would be different, now that the new-stadium novelty has worn off. A little bloom is off the rose of spring training for me now this year, and I can ever-so-slightly feel my general enthusiasm waning. My daughter is a freshman now, around the age when I started making regular visits to Shea. It’s sad that she is not going to have the same experience.

Promenade Plus

…the Plus is how much you’ll be trying to follow the game on the big screens.

How about “High Definition Television Section”?

Perhaps they can have a contest, to be judged by Dave Howard. Here are the options:

A) Vantage Point Seating
B) Side Effect of Being Much Closer That We’ll Claim Every Other Ballpark Since the Coliseum Has Had Seating
C) View-Free, Like Delicious Almost Calorie-Free Pepsi One Seating
C) Ebbets Club

They haven’t figured out what to call the ‘section’ yet without using the negative words “obstruction”. At Shea the word was “back rows” which doesn’t sound as bad until you realize you were basically watching the game in two dimensions without a z-axis and god-forbid anyone stand up in front of you!

So what can they call it? Stick with ‘back rows’ even if it’s not quite accurate?
