Stadium 2 - Shea

Shea Stadium, Mets vs SF Giants, 7-3 win by the Mets! For this lovely afternoon game, myself and my father, sister, and her boyfriend, Jay, were fortunate enough to have those special tickets from some very generous friends which enabled us to sit in our own suite. Unlimited hot dogs, hamburgers, wings, fruit, cheeses, and of course wine & beer, all complimentary, made this game our favorite so far. Here are some shots from our day at Shea, followed by some more of my ramblings on the park:

Ratings
Because of our private suite, the ratings for this ballpark cannot follow my usual format. We had a private bathroom, food was on hand, and free, as was beer. I can make some general comments on what I observed, however.

-Beer was served in the stands by vendors. Excellent.
-Sound system was great.
-Lots of giveaways to the fans.
-Not very friendly greeters/ushers.
-First pitch ceremony performed.
-Not the easiest ballpark to maneuver through efficiently and get from one level to the next.
-National anthem was sung live.
-Beer: $8
-Hot dog: $4.75
-Soda: $5.25

Overall aura: Excellent. Fans were great, enthusiastic, and always cheering.
