About Citi Field
Citi Field, located in the New York City borough of Queens, has been the home of the New York Mets since 2009. Designed as a nod to the classic ballparks of yesteryear, it replaced the Mets' previous home, Shea Stadium. With its brick facade, modern amenities, and fan-focused features, Citi Field offers a blend of old-school charm and contemporary luxury. The stadium's entrance, the Jackie Robinson Rotunda, pays homage to the Brooklyn Dodgers legend and emphasizes baseball's rich history in New York. Fans can also enjoy a taste of the Big Apple with an array of local food offerings. From its intimate seating arrangement that brings spectators close to the action, to its incorporation of Mets history and New York culture, Citi Field provides a unique and engaging experience for baseball enthusiasts.
