HISTORYMarch 18, 2013Opened in 2009, Citi Field is the only Major League ballpark to feature orange foul poles instead of the standard yellow. The home of the Mets was named host of the 2013 All-Star Game.

Once buy a cheap ticket or standing room only seats. Walk around the stadium and enjoy the various food venues and bars. View the game from different viewing areas. It really is a great stadium.

ESPNJuly 15, 2013When it opened, Citi was a wasteland for home runs. Not anymore. After the park produced the third-fewest homers in the NL in 2011, Mets officials reduced the in-play surface area by 2% in 2012.

The best ballpark in all of baseball. Every seat is great and you can still watch the game as you walk around to get food or go to the bathroom.
This stadium has the absolute best food in any stadium I've ever been to.
Fernando LozadaMay 29, 2015Best ball park in New York! A lot of food options, the seats are spacious and an awesome baseball environment. Not a Met experience without meeting Mr. Met himself. Lets Go Mets 2015!!!
Susie MarieJune 7, 2016Try the special hotdogs and fries at the Frites place across from Shake Shack! So much better than a generic Shake Shack burger!
James Jensen JrApril 7, 2018Great park. Better experience in lower levels. A lot of kid friendly stuff on main level. Mets museum is a must see along with Jackie Robinson rotunda.
Alvin LeeApril 24, 2017$6 for a single scoop of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough to satisfy your sweet tooth. Get there real early as the lines are 30 min or more and out the door of the Promenade Club for the the whole game.
There's so many wonderful food options all around the ballpark + mostly all seats have decent view of the field... even tho the team sucks!!! BTW, uber/lyft/taxis are outside bullpen gate
Do yourselves a favor and walk to the right field corner grab some bacon on a stick. Thick cut and smothered with honey. You will almost forget the mets have been under .500 for a decade. Lets Go Mets
Skeery JonesApril 1, 2013Out in centerfield, the brand new Pat LaFreida filet mignon stand hero with mozzarella & carmelized onions is the greatest thing you'll ever eat at any ballpark...and I've eaten a lot at ballparks ;)
Also known as MurphyField. Lots of good seats with many clubs and nooks all around, huge variety of good food. Biggest problem is the ownership. Cheap and stupid makes this a painful team to root for.
- Arthur RooneyJune 19, 2016Everything is great easy to find great staff easy to get to your seat and food awesome. Tourist REMEMBER photo if ( Dr. Licence) if you want beer (even if 50 or 70 years old ???? No ID NO BEER 😂😂😂
The Corcoran GroupJuly 15, 2013Cheer on the Mets as you show down on ribs from Blue Smoke, garlic Parmesan fries from Box Frites, and a black and white shake from Shake Shack.
Julie SosciaJuly 17, 2018Come hungry and forget the typical hot dogs and brews. Go to Shake Shack or try some of the menu awesome food stands.
Home of the NY Mets. Great baseball field with a 360 view of the field. Home of Shake Shack and Frites. Its also one of the kid friendly baseball stadiums.
Christopher LewisAugust 13, 2015What's not to love here. The food is fantastic (typical stadium pricing), and the beer selection is awesome. You have to check out center field, and even behind home plate in the 400 level. #LGM
Get a lemonade on Field Level on the third base side or in the Promenade by section 420. They're incredible.
Home to one of the most consistently disappointing professional sports teams in the country. Great food though!- ESPNAugust 18, 2011While everyone makes a beeline for Shake Shack, outsmart the crowd and head to Box Frites. They’ll serve you faster than a Doc Gooden heater, and you’ll have a smorgasbord of dipping sauces. Amazin’!
- Mets games rarely sell out, for the best seats wait until day-of and get them on stubhub. Tickets are priced to drop automatically the closer to game time. First ten rows can go for ~$65.
- Julie SosciaJanuary 13, 2019Cheer on the Mets while enjoying some seriously tasty food stands. Forget the typical hot dogs, come hungry and explore! Try Blue Smoke! Have a sweet tooth? Head to DO for the Mets Cake Batter!
Great place to experience a baseball game. The product on the field may not be the best, but the atmosphere is great, food and drink choices are very good. Walk around and soak it all in.
Jonathan Baillie StrongJune 3, 2023Great food options! And the atmosphere is electric. Facilities are well maintained, lots of vantage points to watch the game from different angles.
Indulgent EatsJune 13, 2016Worth the trek just for the food: Shake Shack, Pat La Frieda's steak sandwich, David Chang's Fuku, Dan & John's wings, Blue Smoke's brisket mac & cheese, El Verano Taco's nachos & Papa Rosso Pizza
Anything is better than Shea Stadium. This park way underrated. Will rise to level of love and respect when Mets start winning. A lot more fun so far this year.
Jake SmithAugust 17, 2014If it is your first time, you have to enter through the Jackie Robinson Promenade. It's an incredible sight to behold. After, be sure to hit up one of the great craft beer stands.
Daniel McDonoughAugust 16, 2016It's a nice place to visit but no place to watch good baseball. Loaded with really good food options if you care to stage in line and miss the entire game.
The stadium is fantastic. From the clear views from almost anywhere in the stadium to Shake Shack in center field, this stadium has made it easier to make Shea a memory.
Excellent choices for food, excellent sidelines from every scene. A great experience for watching a baseball game.- Julie SosciaAugust 2, 2018Come hungry and forget the typical hot dogs and brews. Go to Shake Shack or try some of the menu awesome food stands.
I really enjoy coming here. Caesar's club tickets are really nice. Food selection and architecture are so much better than Yankee stadium.
Great Stadium for the fan. Great food and the clubs really bring it home. Wander the ball park and find all it's interesting food and concessions stands. Home of the 2013 All Star game. See ya there.
Karl With A "K"May 23, 2016Fun stadium - very easy to get around. They also have a McFaddens next door too!

MarkApril 2, 2012Visit the outfield Shake Shack (take note of the skyline from the old Mets scoreboard on top of it), but if the lines are too long, go to El Verano Taqueria across from it. Very decent ballpark tacos.
- One of the most kid friendly and beautifully designed parks in all of baseball. The Jackie Robinson Rotunda, Shea Bridge, Pepsi Porch, Shake Shack and Home Run Apple make this place one-of-a-kind
There is not a bad seat in this stadium. I love it. I always sit in premium seats and I am never disappointed. Shake Shack delivered to my seat? Yes, please!
Looking a local, craft beer at the game? Try looking for the Empire State Craft booths in near Left Field and behind home plate on the upper decks
SamanthaJuly 24, 2013$11 tickets with a student ID. You're up in the nosebleeds, but the view really isn't that bad (and you easily spot all the homers)! Fun, cheap night out with friends.
Ashley MichelleMay 8, 2016It's also super clean (for a ball park), which I love. Box Fries is my absolute favorite place for food.
Andrew ZuckerOctober 15, 2012Make sure you head out to straightaway center-field. When you're out there, you'll discover great activities for kids (whiffle-ball, video games) and food for the family (Shake Shack, Nathan's).
Elysia MannSeptember 18, 2014In the regular concessions, the popcorn and soft serve (in a helmet, duh) are strangely amazing. This is ignoring the rest of the awesome food options downstairs.
- L. T.July 17, 2015If you're debating going to a concert here, just go. The staff is great and highly organized! And for you front row people- the security staff are competent and friendly!
Their concession stand offerings are top-notch and quite affordable. I recommend the Garlic-Parmesan Cheese fries from the fry stand in right field. They blew my mind.
Completed in 2009, Welcome to Citi Field - Home of Major League Baseball's New York Mets. All of the seats in the ballpark are green in homage to the Polo Grounds
