Citi Field offered Jason and family a bit of bad and a lot of good, as discussed in these first impressions, but on the good side of the ledger it was hard to top this double helping of Awesome.
 
Faith and Fear in Flushing made its debut on Feb. 16, 2005, the brainchild of two longtime friends and lifelong Met fans.

Jason Fry is a Brooklyn writer whose first memories include his mom leaping up and down cheering for Rusty Staub. Check out his other writing here. Got something to say?

I couldn't disagree (respectfully) more. On the one hand, I'm thrilled they moved more than one Shea icon into the new place. On the other hand… to adorn a concession stand? Really? This was once a proud skyline, topping the world's most elaborate scoreboard (for its time.) Now it watched people line up for food. I'm not crazy about it.
But the rest of the stadium I saw (also in person… couldn't beat that ticket price!)… Wow.
I didn't mind, though I'll admit my ardor for Shake Shack makes me hardly an impartial judge. If they'd used the old apple as part of a beer garden or something I would have been annoyed.
you guys read into things way too much. it was nice they brought the skyline over, its a piece of shea i loved, one of my fave things to look at there, and now its in a great visible spot. where else would you put it at citi? people have nothing better to do then complain. its not there to ADORN a concession stand. its in an open area out near fan fest where people will congregate and pass through and its a great site. also much closer to the fan so you can really see it good and take pics
