Mets In Talks With The Apple About Sponsorship Deal For New Seating Area

So yesterday I was minding my own business trying to enjoy my Halloween when my Twitter started blowing up with messages that basically said, "The Mets took your ideas.", "Congrats on re-designing Citi Field." and the one that made me cringe "Thank you for getting us blue walls."  Apparently, the Mets had announced new dimensions and people were congratulating me for some reason.

Citi Field Fence Redux

Given all the talk of Citi Field's dimensions that has sprung up, I thought it might me a good idea to re-post all my earlier fence ideas in one spot. I'm somewhat neutral on the whole moving the fences in so I tried to make my suggestions purely on added aesthetic value.  Here we go:

The "Great Wall Of Flushing":

While I don't really advocate adding seating in LF, here is one possible option.  The logistics of getting those people in or out of that new section are beyond me. This is actually a second draft as I tried to make it more realistic as per some issues that were brought up after the first draft.

You may notice in this version the seats in this section are now barstool seats modeled after Fenway's first row of monster seats.  The seating ends just before the hanger door so that it can still function.  This also leaves outfielders a nice amount of space in the Left Center Field gap where they can take an unobstructed shot at bringing back a homer.

OK Metsblog, Here Are Your Stupid Blue Walls, Now Release My Family

For the record, I am not a fan of blue walls at Citi Field.  Personally, I think when you throw around too much blue and orange it makes everything turn purple.  Unfortunately, when Matt Cerrone & Michael Baron want something they are going to get their way.  Apparently even if it means coming to your house and taking your family hostage.  So here you go Metsblog.  Here are your blue walls, now give me back my family. 

Revision To My Left Field Wall Idea

Tried to make it more realistic as per some issues that were brought up.  The seating is now a single row "monster seats" style and terminates at the Verizon "hanger door" which allows the door to still function as a double gate.  The lower doors open followed by the larger original doors.  Every thing from the other side of the door to the apple will be empty space allowing OFers to try and bring one back.

One Possible Option For Left Field At Citi

There's been a lot of talk of fences these days.  More than usual.  So I figured I'd take a stab at reconfiguring the LF fence.  While I don't really advocate adding seating in LF, here is one possible option.  The logistics of getting those people in or out of that new section are beyond me.
