Citi Field, home to the New York Mets, is a blend of modern day amenities with historic charm. The 42,000 seat ballpark, completed in 2009, is a mixture of brick, limestone, granite and cast stone, the stadium includes a main entry, the Jackie Robinson Rotunda, reminiscent of Ebbets Field. In addition, the stadium brings new life to game day for fans and players alike. Contoured seating brings spectators closer to the action, and nearly half the seats are located in the lower concourse. The Fan Fest family entertainment area, an outfield picnic area, multiple party decks and an interactive Mets museum allow for family friendly entertainment. Citi Field also is expected to serve as a catalyst for development in the area.
