I'm pretty sure you mean eminent domain. That sounds a lot better.

I'm pretty sure you mean eminent domain. That sounds a lot better.
Besides Shake Shack and Blue Smoke, are you serious?
Yeah, I agree with this. As a Mets fan I still feel like I'm at an away game, even after all these years. Don't like the "new" stadium at all. Pan your eyes around the inside of Citi Field and all you see are weird angles everywhere and outrageously loud colors all over the place, nothing lined up, nothing smooth. With Yankee Stadium on the other hand what you see is that nice even dark navy blue and simple, clean lines. It's a much nicer stadium.
Even if it belongs to the Yankees.
I like CitiField but nothing says "Mets" about it. At least when you're in Yankee Stadium you know who plays there.
Much more of a ballpark, better parking, the views are better, the amenities both on the low end and the high end are better.
Yankee Stadium is just steel and concrete. Citi Field is gorgeous.
Citi Field looks like a Triple-A ballpark in the midwest on steroids. Yankee Stadium looks like a MLB stadium.

Citi Field is literally steel and concrete too.. soo
What kind of a put down is that anyways? You want a wood stadium?
Anyways, Citi Field is littered with obstructed seats, Yankee Stadium has that problem too, but at least those are isolated to center field.
Citi Field is fine, I suggest you try eating in the Acela Club; if your looking for something more than shake shack and blue smoke.

I actually find Citi more comfortable too. YS is kind of Brutalist. Different sort of crowd as well.
Citifield is better for everything except watching the game. So many poor sightlines, thats why they have tvs everywhere.
I'm *never* looking for more than Shake Shack, no matter where I am in the city.
Well, I do like a cheesesteak now and then, too, but somehow that's only when I'm at Yankee Stadium.

If anyone knows the area around Citi Field theres basically massive amounts of chop shops/ junkyards adjacent to citi field. Most of these junk yards and mechanic shops have been bought out. by who no one knows. It would be a perfect area for a stadium since its big enough and close enough to public transportation. (7 Train) also theres highways that are close for the commuting drivers.
I think this was discussed somewhere near the beginning of this thread.
With 154 pages to read through, good luck at finding out why it still isn't being discussed.
