Best stadium in baseball, hands down. Awesome experience for baseball lovers, still great for people new to the sport. Great food all around with Nathan's hot dogs at every food stand, shake shack in center field, and countless other vendors with their own unique offerings. The on-field product is amazing, and makes the stadium so fun to be at. Citi Field is the best stadium in baseball, easily (from a Mets fan). read more

Citi Field - Mets vs Cubs - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Corona, New York

I was there 6/8/2019 with my wife and definitely coming back. Citi Field is the perfect place to take your friend that doesn't like baseball. My wife is one of those that still wont see through a TV broadcast. I sat on section 110 I meant to sit on 111 the crew there is awesome. Since I wanted on seat service they allowed me to sit on 111 to get my service. That's the last section on the 1B side with on seat service. They were that cool to allow me to do that. The selection of beer is phenomenal including local brewery. I supported a local beer maker I chose a Brooklyn Lager. If you have a non baseball believer friend bring them to any seat on sec 111 toward behind home plate up to sec 124 you get to smell the field, hear the sounds of the game. One of my pictures (out of focus no zoom) shows Robinson Canó (24) talking to Amed Rosario as Dom Smith walks up to the plate (22) Jacob deGrom looks on from the far left. I even heard the umpire arguing with then manager Mickey Callaway and kicking him out of the game. I know people are complaining about the PA system, just a tip, talk when the visiting team is batting, you wont get interrupted by walk up songs. I love the fact that they have Marisol at the PA system women need to be part of the game and she's wonderful, not to take anything away from the guys who are phenomenal as well. The stadium is clean, the crew is polite even after we stood there a little after the concert that night (Lauryn Hill) they were polite even though they had a day game to prepare for the next day. I almost left out on field entertainment such as homerun challenge, I think I saw some throwing challenge, there is a trivia section, of course kiss cam, and if you have a child under 12 they can run the bases on Sundays after the game. The crew is great, I have a few pictures taken by the crew at Citifield. Props to them recently stopping couple of runners on the field (take that LAD we have a more athletic crew). A couple of those on the PA and scoreboard crew are on social media. They genuinely love their job, they are great people. They understand they are in an exclusive club they have one job in a field that is limited such as MLB scoreboard operator. There are only 30 teams and at most 120 positions. My experience on social media has been wonderful with Mets crew members I encountered. Part of the stadium atmosphere have to be the fans. Of course I will be bias here because I am one. The most amazing fans in the whole world are Mets fans. Unlike any other fanbase I saw others being very polite to Rockies fans (the team the Mets played that day) no antagonizing. This is the best stadium for opposite team fans but we warn you, you likely leave the stadium wearing a Mets hat. My wife wasn't really a fan of baseball but I took her to the game because of Lauryn Hill, she ended up falling in love with baseball. Baseball is a stadium sport, I admit that is far more entertaining in person than on TV and Citifield not only have the best fans in sport but also the best food and drink. If beer is not your cup of beer (pun intended) there are bars such as the Mcfadden, Porche club and Metropolitan Grille read more

This stadium is ten years old but still looks fresh and new! Extremely easy to navigate. Fan store is amazing! There's something for everyone! Well almost! They ran out of Keith Hernandez size large t-shirts! I'll have to go earlier next year! Tons of food and beer options! The brisket at Blue Smoke is fantastic! New Yorkers love their Shake Shack! Unbelievably long line! Same for their Grand Central Station location. If you are stuck in a line during the game there are plenty of TVs to keep up with the action plus you'll get to listen to the best announcing trio in MLB,Gary,Keith and Ron! We prefer to sit in a 300 section on the third base side about 6 or 7 rows back for a day game. Out of the Sun and just under the next level in case of rain. A truly fun experience,especially if the Mets win! read more

Visiting NYC, I wanted to take in a ball game. Since my buddy lives in NYC and is a Mets fan we went to Citi Field. Definitely top notch. Great environment, spent more time walking around the facility and beer area then watching the game. Fans here definitely have a lot of great options to choose from. BTW - was not a fan of the Momofuku chicken place by David Chang. I got one of the sandwiches and had to take it back because the chicken didn't look like it was cooked all the way... UGH! read more

In my quest to see them all, I did something I knew was going to be a bad idea; I brought my daughters to a baseball game. That's probably not a bad deal for most people but my daughters really dislike baseball. However they humored me since they got a trip to NYC out of it. Of course I picked a day game and the hottest day of the year. As usual I rate the stadiums in 4 categories so here goes: Architecture: It's a newer stadium, I believe the 1st game was in 2009 just like new Yankee stadium. The outside is ok with the old iconic Shea Stadium apple that symbolized home runs is a cool picture op. There's another one inside for those Mets homers. There's also a bridge in the centerfield corridor that "bridges" Shea and Citi Field. It's a nice touch. Fan Base: Solid. I mean the Mets don't have the national following that the team from the other borough has but for a Thursday noon game against St Louis, the stadium was pretty full. There were only a handful of Cardinals fans in the stands so it was mainly locals. Food: Good. There was a ton of burger places, Nathan's hot dog stand, a Jim Beam Bourbon Bar, Shake Shack, Papa Rosso pizza, Blue Smoke BBQ, Fuku-Catch of the day seafood, Ray Lafrieda filet mignon sammichs(17.00 and that's just the sandwich...no fries), a taco place and others. The El Vernando Taqueria had green mole chicken tacos....that's fancy. Less draft beer than I like to see but a few options. Other: A very small Met's museum on the bottom floor that leads into the 4 times as big gift shop. A huge atrium dedicated to Jackie Robinson which was cool despite him never playing for the Mets or even in Queens. I'm guessing since they are the current National League NY team, it's the closest thing to the Brooklyn Dodgers. (LA Dodgers certainly didn't have this kind of memorial to him). Unlike Yankees stadium, Citi Field has a ton of parking. The subway also drops you off right in front of the stadium so it's super easy to access from Manhattan. The last thing I'll add is the ushers will not allow you to walk close to home plate to get a picture even an hour before game time. In my 19 other stadiums that I have been to, this has never happened. I had tickets close by for crying out loud. The stadium is solid and bordering on the 4th star that I almost gave them then I remembered that usher and the fact that I didn't drink 1 beer because I was with my kids. read more

Citi Field - Baseball field - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Corona, New York

While my heart will forever call this ball park Shea, Citi Field is a contender in its own right while paying homage to the Mets' wonderful history. Because it's new-ish, it's a little more appealing, I think, than other stadiums. Some things to know before ya go: You can bring your own snacks and waters to this park. You can bring a small, soft cooler or small cooler bag. You CANNOT bring alcoholic beverages. You CANNOT bring a hard cooler. The 7 train will take you riiiiight there. No reason to drive if you can help it. If you lose your hard tickets (not e-tickets, obvs) but have proof of purchase like a confirmation email, they will reprint the tickets at the Will Call free of charge. This happened to me bc I had corporate tickets. The employees here were extremely polite and helpful. Maybe we caught them on a good day, but everyone we encountered was a total sweetheart. Follow the rules and there will be less of a chance of problems. Do not get too drunk or fight with other spectators. It's a game for crap's sakes. Chill. I love the Mets, I love Citi Field and you will, too. read more

Citi Field - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Corona, New York

Citi Field is a great stadium that offers easy access by the LIRR or the 7 subway train. I went here for a Mets game and it was a little empty due to the wheather but I had great seats and the concessions stands here are awesome and filled with unique vendors: Shake Shack, Nathans Franks, Two boots Pizza etc... its great to see a flavor of NYC at the game. Citi Field is always a great time to grab a few beers some over priced food and relax with friends to watch some baseball. And for some fan favorites lets sing..... Take me out to the ball game! Take me out with the crowd! Buy me some peanuts and crackerjacks I don't care if I never get back Let me root, root, root For the home team If they don't win it's a shame Aahh. For it's one, Two, Three strikes you're out At the old ball game read more

This place is growing on me. My reasons are twofold. First, I was forced to take a step back, and see the place objectively. The reason being, we brought along my friend's stepbrother's kid. It was his first baseball game. He never knew Shea, and has no attachment to the Mets. But he was just so wide-eyed, so amazed by the gorgeous new ballpark (granted, we had AWESOME seats). There was just no chance that he wasn't going to love it, because there really aren't any better ways to spend a beautiful day. He ignored all the great food we offered him and just ate three pretzels. He couldn't care less whether the Mets won or lost. All he really wanted was for us to catch him a foul ball, and for the Mets to hit a home run so he could see the apple rise up. Me too, little buddy. Me too. I think it was Michael McDonald who sang: "...the beauty of their smile; adventurous and wild. Life is kinda gay, but it doesn't seem that way, through the eyes of a child." Or maybe that was South Park. The second, and far more important reason, is that among the cobblestones outside covered with inscriptions from fans, I discovered one that reads: All Your Base Are Belong To Us. That's worth another star. read more

God. 5 hours later and I'm still cold! Tips for enjoying Citi Field in the early Spring: 1. The stadium is near the water so subtract 5° from the current temperature 2. If you're sitting in the nosebleeds... - 5° more 3. If it's so windy that trash is blowing all over the field - 5° 4. The sun sets - 5° 5. You foolishly bought a cold ass soda and are determined not to waste your money so you're still going to drink it - 5° So according to my calculations, with the temperature being in the mid-50s outside the stadium at the start of the 7 pm game, the real temperature was more like 30° Fahrenheit up in Section 509 Row 17. And FYI, Row 17 is as high as you can go. Eh... they were $10 tickets that I got for free. But I was determined to stay for the whole game. My first attempt to go down a level failed spectacularly. "Sir, how strict are they about changing sections once the game starts?" "VERY strict!" I'm nothing if not persistent. I try again at the next level down. He tells me to go to the Section 311 as if he was imparting some super secret information. Yeah right! Dream on. I wound up in the 100s standing at the barrier with the rest of the diehards with horrible seats. I LOVE the fact that they put cup holders on the poles. I was able to keep my hands stuffed in my pockets and didn't have to throw out that damn cup of soda I was determined to finish. And the bonus - the view was spectacular. Why was I going to suffer hypothermia by drinking that soda? Well, I hit the Shake Shack concession before the game and I paid almost 7 bucks over regular retail price for the privilege. I don't care if my cheese fries were a gummy mass by the time I reached my seat. My burger was still lukewarm. Yay. But by that point, the damage was done. By the 8th inning, even the Cardinals were wearing balaclavas. Punks. They have some thin blood in Saint Louie. But the best part was... THE METS WIN! THE METS WIN! And since they did it at the top of the 9th, we didn't have to stay a minute longer! I hate writing ridiculously long reviews, just like you hate reading them, but I must add this bit of helpful information. If you don't lollygag on your way out of the stadium to the subway, you might catch the 7 SUPER EXPRESS. That's what the conductor called it. Don't worry, there's room. Everyone just masses up in the middle cars. There are plenty of seats in the rear. The 7 SUPER EXPRESS only makes the following stops: 61st/Woodside (connect here for the LIRR), Queensboro Plaza, Court Square, Grand Central and then regular. Wonderful! No cab in the world could do better. read more

Meh. Am I in Dodger Stadium? I'm still trying to figure out why the horrible owner of this AAA team still thinks he owns the Brooklyn Dodgers. I understand the whole history behind the Mets, Ebbets Field, Brooklyn and all, but I feel very little Mets tradition eminating here. Well, I finally had the chance to visit Corporate Bailout stadium, um, I mean, CitiField. Was here today for the Bacon and Beer Classic! It was the most excitement this place has seen in years. So many great beer stands and food stations set up around the concourse with a great view of the field. I'll admit it's a nice looking ballpark with some great food options such as Shake Shack and Blue Smoke. You can tell it's very kid and family friendly as they try to make it entertaining here since the team on the field can put you to sleep. The stadium itself still looks pretty new and the field views are fine. As a VIP media pass holder we were granted access to the field, dugout area, and warning track. The grounds are pristine and well maintained. Holy crap there are a ton of advertisements all over the place here! The outfield scoreboards are loaded with them to an obscene level. Still fun to look at though. One big highlight was meeting Mr and Mrs Met! Pretty easy to get to from Manhattan by the 7 train which stops at it's front door. Nothing else in the area though. Nowhere to hang out before or after the game around the stadium, unless you like chop shops and auto junkyards. Just come, watch the Mets probably lose, and get back on the train. Losing season after losing season after losing season after losing season after losing season after losing season after losing season, etc, etc, etc. It's one thing to be a diehard loyal fan but this borders on psychotic self abuse! Mets fans really need to stay away from sharp objects. read more

Just realized .. as a lifelong Mets fan who's gone to way too many games at Shea Stadium and Citi Field, that I never actually wrote a review of this place. Personally I like Citi Field for a variety of reasons. Yes, it's still not quite as "homey" as Shea in many ways, but it's still an awesome place to catch a baseball game. There's no shortage of places to eat here and it's been discussed in plenty of detail so I'd rather focus on the things that I personally like .. which include: - The excellent service at this stadium. The staff here is extremely friendly and do a really good job of helping fans out. - The sight lines for the stadium are pretty decent - The seats are relatively comfortable and spacious for the most part - The food items are definitely solid and I like how there are lots of choices for non-meat eaters as well - I still love the fact it's easy to get here via LIRR and the 7 train - Parking is relatively easy, though of course it can get a bit crazy on busy days so be sure to get here early for games if you're driving - The fan shops here sell some pretty good items and prices are relatively reasonable Of course there are still some imperfections, like how it can be a pain to get to the upper promenade levels due to the limited number of escalators and concourses in this stadium. But for the most part those issues are tolerable relative to the pluses of this lovely stadium. Let's go Mets! read more

I always have a great time at citi field. Every time I go watch the Mets (lose--haha but I'm still a huge fan), I always have a blast. We love weekend promos and Saturday was the Syndergaard bobblehead day. The place was packed, weather was amazing and the game was awesome! Staff is a very efficient, well-oiled machine. Food selection is mostly typical but I love the helmet nachos which you can find tucked away on the first level only and line is always crazy long but they're the best so that's okay. It's fairly easy to get in and out as trains run constantly. There's a "special events" train that's express to Manhattan which saves you at least 30 mins. read more

The Reds were in town here in NY, and since the Mr. is their #1 fan (which, at times, can be true MISERY...) we just HAD to go them battle the Mets here before we left. Great last minute decision, even though it didn't quite go the Red's way that night...!! First off, if have any access at all to public transportation (Long Island Rail Road) that is DEFINITELY the way to go, as traffic and parking is a nightmare otherwise. We took the train to the game, and just had to make a quick connection at Woodside for Willet's Park (I think it's called) which leads you right to the stadium. We didn't have tickets, and were met by a few scalpers as we got closer, and probably should have taken what they had to offer, but Bob got nervous and decided to get them at the ticket office (paid nearly 3x as much for practically the same seats, but avoided a potential ripoff and/or trip to the "pokey!!") We got our tickets, found our seats pretty quickly, and enjoyed a pretty nice night at the ball park. The food choices were so-so in our area, and I wasn't too excited about the menu the traveling waiters were offering either, but you're not really here to eat... Our seats were good, the stadium's been updated quite a bit (though it'll ALWAYS be SHEA STADIUM in this NY'ers mind!!) and in spite of the Red's so-so performance, we enjoyed a great evening at the ball park!! Definitely worth a visit for a sports fan, if you're in the area. Lots to see and do, and if you get your tickets ahead of time on stub-hub or from some nice, friendly, TRUSTWORTHY guy on the street, you won't quite break the bank!! LGM!!! (Sorry, Reds!!) ;-) read more

OK, so I am not a Mets fan... but I can appreciate good baseball. And while this city will continue to debate as to which team is better - I tell ya - Citi Field and the Mets have some good things going on. + Citi Field is easy enough to get to via the 7 train, or via car. There's plenty of parking and I suggest finding a spot in the lot across the street from the stadium for easy exiting. Oh and navigating the stadium to your seat isn't tricky at all. - But the security lines are inconsistent and frustrating. Ie. lines were excruciatingly slow on a recent Tuesday evening, and then on Sunday later that week - things moved so quickly. I don't understand. + When you finally get inside though - the food options are top-notch. Blue Smoke and Shake Shack alone are worth a star. Plus there's a tacos, steak sandwiches, pizza AND all of your typical ball park foods like hot dogs, popcorn, pretzels, etc. and prices aren't that outrageous. - Depending on where your seat is you might have issues seeing the field. Womp womp. Who designs a stadium in which the upper deck, 3rd base side can't see the field below them? + Whether you can see or not - the energy here is contagious. Of the two games I've attended recently my favorite part was the crowd chanting NO-AH! NO-AH! NO-AH! How can you not chant along when that blonde bombshell pitcher takes the mound with the rest of the 2015 Nation League Champs behind him. These fans love their ball players - and you've got to respect that. read more

Citi Field - Tom Seaver Statue - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Corona, New York

As the Mets had their 6th home opener at Citi Field on March 31st, 2014; I'm happy to have visited the 3rd newest ballpark in the Major Leagues. It's very refreshing to see the vast improvements in Citi Field compared to Shea Stadium. Even though Shea Stadium had a lot of history; it was an outdated, old and very crappy ballpark. I enjoyed watching a game at Shea Stadium; but after being spoiled by all the other new ballparks, you can understand why they tore it down and built the beautiful Citi Field. Citi Field represents not only a ballpark of the 21st century, but also of the modern decade. It's very spaces with great views of the field wherever you sit. There's a variety of different type of good selection of foods you can choose from, but it's very expensive as usual. They even have a Shake Shack within the ballpark, but the prices are outrageous compared to any other Shake Shack out on the streets of New York. A nice addition, but odd for Mets history, was the Jackie Robinson Rotunda. It's a fabulous tribute to Jackie Robinson, but it's very strange to have this tribute to a player who did not play for the Mets nor for neighborhood of Flushing in Queens, NY. The story was that the owner loved Jackie Robinson and Ebbets Field; hence, why the exterior of Citi Fields looks very similar to the front of Ebbets Field. The Mets' Hall of Fame is also a very nice addition to the ballpark. As a tourist & outsider like me, it allowed myself to read & appreciate the history of the Mets by just visiting a game! Out of all the ballparks that I've been to so far, Citi Field has the BEST Wi-Fi! It's free and it's fast. Most ballparks that you go to is either to slow to enjoy, but the reception inside Citi Field was excellent throughout a ballgame. I would have to say that the fans at Citi Field are friendly than the Yankees fans at the Bronx; but then again, maybe that's because the Mets haven't had a winning team at Citi Field yet. Hoping for the best for the New York Mets! read more

What can I say? I love the Mets and I love this field. Great visibility from every seat I've been at. Can't say enough about the food selection. I do have to admit I don't have too many stadiums to compare it to. It's my life dream to travel the United States and visit very baseball stadium but my wife seems hardly enthusiastic about that. I will say the new yankees stadium is cold and stuffy compared to citi field. I can objectively say food and craft beers are far superior at citi field. So on to the good stuff. Head to left field early because the Shake shack line is long. There is a nice craft beer stand with bottles of some local and craft domestic beers. Kona Longboard from Hawaii is a nice one. Wish they could bring in a few more local favs on tap, such as six point or green point. The beer movement is here! so let's get to it citi field! Maybe my wife prefers more my other life long dream of getting season tickets ;) read more

As a kid going to a baseball game meant hot dogs, ice cream, peanuts, soda and pretzels. Nothing fancy. A dog and soda and this kid was happy. At eighteen my taste changed to beer and a dog. Now, bottle beer (craft) and some tasty meats. Blue Smoke satisfies my need for tasty meats and the World Beer Stand right in front of Blue Smoke took care of my beer needs. One very satisfied customer. Blue Smoke is an outpost of the NYC restaurant by said name at Citi Field. The Blue Smoke outpost served some delicious ribs and tasty brisket sandwich on my very first visit to the ballpark. The ribs had smoke and nice seasoning. Flavor was there, but a couple of bones a tad dry. Not the end of the world, but for my $10, you know, I want perfect. The beef brisket sandwich, delicious. Smoke, flavor, taste all right there. Very satisfying sandwich at $9 or so. Overall, Blue Smoke will be my first stop at a Met game, after beer of course, for food. I give their stand high marks for quality, as well as taste. A bit pricey, but could be worst. Nice job. read more

Parking was insane. My friend and his partener work for NJ police department and they normally have parking for us, but the NYPD said that the lot was full two hours before we got there.... The parking was down the woods, along the road in queens we go, widening around and then we arrived to a lot, with HORRIBLE directions to THREE large hills (the women did warn us), so we bottomed out the charger (NOT OK). We then found a spot!!! Do you think ANYONE laid their crumbs out to find our way back down this road, NOPE! We didn't care we wanted to park! When we arrived to our shuttle, after running to TRY to catch it! All I could think about was getting there, but did anyone see the lot we came out of?.... oh my, I wish I was a little tipsy for all this: thoughts going through my head, as I was catching my breath from the "little" run.... We arrived on the bus to drop us off adding 10 more mins to our lateness. I mean at this point we were 2 hours late... we got there at the bottom of the 4th inning, was this worth it? I will never know. I forgot a jacket (BC it was sooo deep in the backpack-it wasn't worth it, or was it) to realize it was a VERY cold evening and our seats were "box" seating, but was open so much that the wind came in soooo intensively. I had to get some hot chocolate for $5.00 (large), which wasn't that bad! I started drinking and suddenly I could feel my fingers getting their warmth back. Then it started..... The Mets were getting stomped by the Yankees. Oh My Word. I could see my friend loosing color in his face and very anger. Bases are loaded and some guy on the Yankees team (I follow football NOT baseball so don't judge me) hit a pop fly in the sky and out of the field. There goes 4 more points added to the score board! Then again and again and finally the score was 11 to 1 ( I believe), we all were soo cold, but who cares they were drunk and having fun, does anyone remember how much walking we have to do??? NOPE, everyone is wasted!!! So needless to say it was a great night, but parking sucked and the system doesn't make sense, and WHY did we drive your asking? We drove because the NJ transportation FROM Queens would've been worse. My favorite part of the evening was the game traffic, the Italian festival traffic, and one lane in the Holland tunnel open (1 hour from West Village area to the end of the Holland tunnel). The evening really did suck because of the traffic, but it was spent with GREAT people. My attitude was the worst and I do apologize if I was a little rude. I just wish I would've known all this before hand. Maybe I could've helped it. It was a great game to go to. read more

Citifield is so much nicer than the old Shea. But both places had their charm. I've gone to Shea many times as a kid. And now it's awesome that I can bring my kids to the new Mets Stadium. The iconic Home Run Apple, the fun kids zone just pass the Shea Bridge, Mr. Met, Baseball Museum, and the Jackie Robinson Memorial to name a few things of must see highlights in the stadium besides the game of course. The really cool reason this is on Yelp besides it being a favorite American past time, it is also because of the food. I mean every stadium has the classic hot dog, domestic beer, popcorn, and soda fare but Citifield has much more. Say the Pat LaFrieda Restaurant, Fuku (just added this year), Shake Shack, Two Boots Pizza, Rao's, Mama's of Corona, and Blue Smoke ... drooling yet? It's like going to a sampling of a kick but Foodie Fest. Tip: go before the game starts, like early, an hour before the first pitch so you can take in all of the food options, eat and enjoy the experience while soaking in the atmosphere.

As a die-hard Mets fan, I was a little upset that they tore down Shea Stadium. As dirty as Shea was, it was still had a nice old-baseball stadium feel. After going to Citi Fields twice this week, I have to say, it's simply beautiful. What a job they did building this stadium! It's just amazing! First off, the seats are way better than before. I had field level seats the 1st night and seats at the Caesar's Club section the 2nd, and they were very nice and comfy (as comfy as hard seats can get). You can see how much money they spent on trying to make the place look nice. The food is so much better than the old stadium. From Shake Shack to Nathan's, there's tons of options here. Because of how expensive everything is here I wanted to give this place 4.5 stars, but seeing as how I was able to get the tickets for free (and also happen to be there for free hot dog night), I'll give it 5. The place doesn't have as much of a baseball feel as the old stadium, but it's still amazing in a different way. read more

Great views from all over the stadium. I don't come here a lot because I am not a mets fan. I did however come here for a beer and bacon event not too long ago. The staff is friendly. :::BATHROOM ALERT::: Was pretty clean for a ballpark. read more

Citi Field - YELP!!! - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Corona, New York

First off I'm probably biased since I'm a Nats fan but here goes. The ballpark is nice looking and reminds me a lot of the Phillies park which yes is begrudgingly meant as a good thing. There are decent food options and the seats are pretty good even in the 400 level. It is a little amusing they wanna be like the Yankees with a Hall of Fame that's a bit more sparse than its Bronx companion. Now for the bad, you order a hot Italian sausage in NY and it should be top notch, right? Yankees did that even though it cost WAY too much. Mets got the hot sausage part right but put ice cold onions and peppers right on top of it, lame. Whoever designed the stadium other than the actual seating needs to be forced to eat at Times Square chain restaurants for the rest of their life. The men's room lines DURING the game are worse than most ballparks after the game. This place is a disaster to exit after the game, didn't see any ramps and instead you've got 40,000 fans drinking beer for three hours trying to navigate multiple flights of stairs without causing a stampede! The ballpark is worth checking out and you can take the train from Manhattan but they need to up their food game and maybe build a ramp so people can get outta there after a game? read more

I have been coming to this stadium for many years. During the Shea Stadium era before the transformation, this stadium did not feel as open as it does now, plus it did not have as many food vendor choices as it does now. Citi Field may not have as many seats as Shea Stadium did in the past, but there are really no bad seats here. I absolutely love coming here, especially for the food :-) even more so now because they offer Coca-Cola products (wooohooo). Besides the baseball stadium food staples of Nathans hot dogs, French fries, chicken strips, cotton candy, cracker jacks, etc. They now offer Japanese food, Kosher food, seafood, fried dough, sausage with onions and peppers, plus more. They also offer high quality meat burgers from Pat Lafrieta and the lines at Shake shack can be ridiculously long. There are so many different types of food vendors to choose from. Every year this stadium steps it up by adding additional new vendor with more diversified food choices. They also offer a decent selection of IPA beers. I normally, get a Turkey and fresh mozzarella cheese sub with red peppers, mushroom, and gravy on the side about $13.00, small Nathan's fries $6.00. This year they added large bottle of smart water for $7.00 (yes I did say $7.00). For a small bottle of Aquafina water it's $5.95. For all of the best cuisine being offered at this stadium can be expensive, but you're at a ball game what do you expect. I come here at least two or three times a year and it's always a great time. I personally like to get here at least an hour or two earlier so that I can really see everything that the stadium offers. I guess the best part about going to Citi Field is that getting to the stadium and leaving the stadium is so easy with public transportation no hassles at all. I can't say the same if you drive here. read more

This review is of Citi Field, by no way does this means I endorse that other NY team that play there :) First time here, I must say I am impressed. This feels like a true fan stadium. Everything about it is very inviting. The food options here are great. They have shake shack, blue smoke, verano taqueria and some other really good options. I must say that the food options here are way better than at Yankee stadium. And I mean both in price and quality. Sure yankee stadium has some really high end spots, but I'm talking about stuff that doesnt cost $40 a plate. You can eat pretty well here for under $20. Now I do say eat, not drink... just like any other stadium, water is $4, which is murder... but they can get away with it. The layout of the stadium allows for good seats pretty much from anywhere. Not to mention that you can get some pretty good deals on seats here, which is always nice to have. Overall, I enjoyed this stadium a lot and will be coming back when the weather really warms up! read more
