Citi Field

Baseball today! I am not a huge fan of baseball but it is fun to watch once in a while in person. We were able to get free tickets to a Mets vs. Phillies game due to the APA union, plus for 4 people $40 worth food vouchers. The game was in Citi Field, the new Mets Stadium after Shea Stadium was closed.
From near Philadelphia PA it is not a bad drive to New York. It was a little sticky with parking getting there late but still manageable. The main action was in the first inning, 3 home runs total were scored there. Phillies won the game, yeah!
Getting out of New York through Manhattan was a little more difficult because there was traffic backing up before entering Holland Tunnel. But overall it was a great experience to go to the New Stadium there, and see the World Series winners play.
Of all the time I spent in the states I never made it to a ball game! Maybe next time I will make it a priority… I sat in a few bars and watched games and that was always fun.
Well sports are very big in the states. Next time you visit you’ll probably make it to an event, or at least watch tv
excellent information
