The ENORMOUS CitiField (before they brought in the fences around 2014-2015). It looked like a replica of Ebbets Fields (home of the Brooklyn Dodgers). Fred Wilpon (Mets owner) grew up a Brooklyn Dodgers fan Not only was it enormous (from home plate to the homerun stands), but there was also those mini-huge-walls in left field, left-center, center field, right-center. And there was TONS of grounds that the outfielders, especially the centerfielder, had to cover. What a contrast in stadium size/hitting between the Yankees new stadium and the Mets new stadium
Man, the Mets have had heartbreaking eliminations at home the last 3 seasons, and now they open up their new stadium with the opposing team hitting the first home run in the first ever plate appearance. The only thing that I think could be more embarrassing is hitting into a game ending unassisted triple play.
(Mets/SNY version) 14:13 Gary Cohen: Hit in the air to Deep Left Field, Back goes Headley, Looking Up. And... It's Outta Here!!! David Wright ties the game with a 3-Run Homer. New Apple, Say Hello to Citi Field, the 1st Met Home Run in their NEW! Home.

Chris Berman and John Saunders doing Sportcenter
They should have had Berman doing every SportsCenter!
