After years of primarily going to Yankee Stadium, I'll admit I was skeptical. I went here for the Mets/Braves series thinking I was going to the inferior baseball park in the city. Was I mistaken or what! Citi Field is absolutely gorgeous. The staff in and around the park are incredibly friendly and helpful. The food options quite simply can't be matched; there's such diversity in the offerings you can get for a full meal or a light snack. Best of all, it's very easy to get to via public transit if you're staying in the city. And you should take the subway! An Uber or taxi ride from midtown Manhattan was running $70 on a Monday afternoon prior to rush hour. Just get on a train, budget yourself about 40 minutes to arrive, and when you get off, prepare for one of the best live baseball experiences of your life!

We visit baseball stadiums as a hobby and this was our last in the US (Toronto next year). It was our favorite on this fall trip, easily beating out Yankee stadium and Philadelphia. The stadium is of course newer which helps. The amenities are fun and we took a train from Brooklyn to Manhattan then out to Flushing (1 1/4 hours) and it let us off right at the entrance. Super nice! I liked the energy from the fans (possibly going into the playoff season bolstered that) and nobody around me was drunk and obnoxious. I would recommend it to all.

I love going to different MLB stadiums and this was my first visit to Citi Field. We stayed in midtown Manhattan and it was easy to get to the 7 train which takes you right to the stadium. We even got lucky and saw Mr Met before going inside. The rotunda is a great way to enter the park and I found it very easy to navigate. There were plenty of food options; especially on the main concourse level and in the outfield area. Our seats were in the upper deck which still afforded a great view of the action. The fans were into it which makes for a great atmosphere. Exiting the stadium and getting back to the train was easy as well. Our family had a great time seeing the Mets at Citi Field and would recommend it to any sports fan.

Saw a Sunday game Phillies / Mets and drove from Philadelphia. Mets fans were friendly. I thought it was an uninspiring stadium but my Mets fans friends said it's worlds better than Shea. I drove and parked, taking the Verazanno Narrows up and the GW back. Parking is simple and it seems like each exit dumps you directly on to the highway that will let you take either bridge on the return. I think it's like $10 extra in tolls if you take the GW but the traffic flows easier that way.
If it wasn't for the fact that I took my son and dad (and it was a Sunday) I would have driven to Secaucus and taken the train to Penn Station then the LIRR.

Really easy to get to on the #7 train. Beautiful ballpark with great modern facilities. Great sight lines from 300 level. Security is really tight but quick and efficient. Just like every other MLB park, food and drinks are too expensive. Would recommend over Yankee Stadium as a venue (setting aside the obvious historical import of the Bronx baseball temple).

Citi Field, the home field of the New York Mets, is one of the most gorgeous baseball stadiums of Major League Baseball (MLB).
My wife and I have attended multiple New York Mets baseball games at Citi Field and we have enjoyed each of our experiences at the stadium.
The seats are quite comfortable and provide fans great access and views of the Mets players and the baseball game.
My wife and I found the food selection to be tasty and superb, appreciated the support and service provided by the stadium’s staff, and we also enjoyed visiting the New York Mets Hall Of Fame & Museum.
All in all, my wife and I had a wonderful baseball experiences at Citi Field, and look forward to the day when the threat of COVID 19 ends and when Citi Field opens it doors to fans again.

Had upper-deck seats to watch the Mets take on the Cubbies (sadly, Chicago lost) and can say it was one of the most enjoyable baseball experiences I've had in my many decades of going to games. The ballpark is beautiful and our "cheap" seats had a great view. And if you're an out-of-towner who has any trepidation about watching a game surrounded by locals, don't. The crowd was boisterous, but funny and friendly. Everyone in our section was trading jokes and stories by the end of the game. Food/beverage options are clean and just as pricey as you'd expect. Restrooms were clean, too. And if you like airplanes, you can watch takeoffs and landings at LGA from many of the seats!

Went back to the ballpark a few weeks ago and was so glad I did. While we could not attend any games in 2020, it was great to be back at Citi Field this year.
If you you go try to get tickets with access to the Piazza Club (in the 300 Section behind home plate). Great place to grab a bite and a beer before or during the game.
Of course, Shake Shack in the center field pavilion is one of my favorites.
It is a shame to see that McFadden's and Mikkeller Brewery did not make it. Maybe when things get more back full swing, something will open in one or both of those spots.

Went to the Mets home opener and got to see the new Tom Seaver statue unveiled out side Citi Field. The statue is right outside the Jackie Robinson Pavilion next to the Apple.
The next time you come to a game at Citi Field you must see this statue. It is a sight to behold.

What a wonderful place to bring a family or have fun with friends. The energy of this stadium is unmatched. Graphics are fun. Staff is so friendly. Not a bad seat in the house. Concession stands are varied, something for everyone. Parking wasn’t bad hut traffic after a game is pretty rough. Loved every minute here!

Can you grill in the parking lot 🤔?
TheEdgeNYC

Yes, there is plenty of grilling and tailgater going on. Secure a spot early especially if you plan on a large group.
Not sure if charcoal grills are allowed, so I go with a gas grill to be on a safe side as I don't think there are any charcoal disposal areas.
Where can you park

Are there any good restaurants close to citi field? Or perhaps just off the 7 subway line near the stafium?

They have a Shake Shack in the Centerfield Plaza area. Also, there is Blue Smoke, but if you want a local favorite, Mama's of Corona inside the right field corner market place.

Olá, gostaria de saber se no Citi Field há alguma referência ao antigo Shea Stadium, que foi inaugurado com um show dos Beatles, sei lá, alguma coisa na lojinha oficial de souvenir???
Gostaria de saber também se paga pra entrar quando não tem jogo, ou só fazendo um tour pelo estádio mesmo, como aqueles no estádio do Real Madrid?

Going to a 12:00 Mets game and then into Times Square for sightseeing. Planning to drive since we have a large group. Is it better to park near Times Square and take the subway to and From Citi-field or better to park at a lot near Citi-Field and then take the subway into Times Square and back to leave? Thanks for your suggestions.

Don’t drive to Citi Field. The traffic will cause you a tremendous amount of aggravation . There are many parking lots around 10th and 11th avenues. Research the one on line to get the best price.

I would take the subway. From Midtown (53St & 6Av) it is about 35 minutes. The 7 Train goes to Citifield. The subway stop is about 300m to the stadium. Google maps does an excellent job of directions providing you select subway. There are Event staff to help you once off the subway. Walk the concourse to see all the food options and field views. We sat down by the dugout on 1st base side. At the end of the game we spent some time in the Mets museum which is quite nice and allowed the crowds to thin out before hopping on the subway. You will have a great time.

It seems difficult and not time efficient to leave citifield by train to get home to Long Island. Have to leave early for the 11:09 to woodside or take the 12:09 but kiss the Long Island bound train by three minutes.suggestions for way to get home from citifield to Long Island that does not require driving?

The train, while a bit hectic to get on, is probably your best bet.

We want to get tickets for a MET’s game in August. Why are prices on StubHub so much cheaper than official website? Is it safe to buy via Stubhub? As we are tourists to NY we don’t want to get ripped off. Or does the stadium sell tickets cheaper on the day? Many thanks
