All and all this trip was solely about baseball and chasing stadiums. We came from Camden yards the night before and were heading to Fenway from Citi Field. I got to spend this game with some of the most important people in m y life. Most importantly the whole night was impromptu on the highway as we had no intent of hitting Citi Field. This was one of the triggering moments where Home/Away was born. We also got the treat of sitting right behind the infamous Anthony Weiner and his son. Only in NY! Great night!

Parking was reasonably simplistic and fair on price. It was disapointing that the train did not run directly to the stadium, but it was not too far away. Easy in and out of the lot. Tough location to drive to from NYC. Take extra time.
Not much of a neighborhood by the stadium. No bars or places to gather with fans. Plan to tailgate if you want to enjoy the moment pre and postgame. More of an in and out experience.
Outside of the home plate walk in. Which was grandiose and a welcoming entry. The historic plaques, moments in time, team history/awards is fairly non existent in and out. Tough but valid score in my eyes.
The fan engagement was strong. The stadium gives off more of a mall feel than pro ballpark. The team worked in games, noise and enough energy to keep the crowd going. Nothing to blow your socks off.
Great line of sight from our seats. A little far off the field. The OF seats in right and left are rough as you cannot see the whole field wall underneath. The back concourse did not have the best views either.
Seat: 124, row 15 seat 6
The scoreboards and display boards were solid. Not a fan of the one big screen not providing more stat/matchup breakdowns. A lot of forced energy.
New age stadium. Great food and drink options. Vegetarians as well. Craft beer selection was strong. Well done Citi!
Decently convenient to your seat. Enough to go around without long lines.
Game tickets were well priced for NY. Granted this is pre Steve Cohen. Not sure how they rate now. Food and drinks were standard for stadiums but not terribly overpriced at all.
Solid fan engagement and energy, got to share it with my then gf and now wife as she was living in NYC at the time. Typical NY game experience that brings your energy up a notch even if you don't want it.
