It was a comfortable ride with lots of leg room, wifi and electrical outlets. We got to Penn Station, purchased tickets on the LIRR to Mets-Willetts Point Station. It was just a short 15 minute ride and we were at Citi Field. This was a very impressive stadium, very new and nicely appointed. The floors of the bathrooms were finished in a blue and orange pebbled texture, seat holders even in the cheap seats, and a good array of food. The scoreboards were large and readable and kept everyone apprised of questionable scoring decisions. Especially impressive was the entrance rotunda.
Pirates and Mets line up for the National Anthem. There was a brief rain delay where the stands were evacuated because of some very close lightning strikes. But after the delay, the Pirate bats came alive, chased Matt Harvey, and won a great game!
It was an easy ride back to Penn Station because so many of the Mets fans had left the game. By the bottom of the 9th more Pirate fans were in the stadium than Mets fans. We had time for dinner at TGIF in Penn station and then Amtrak to SEPTA and to the hotel in Philadelphia.
Great day in New York and a stunning Bucco win.
