Postcard from Florida: Citi Field South

February

It will be interesting to see how Citi Field plays out next year. The Mets converted the dimensions for today’s intra-squad game to be that of Citi Field. It’s deep in the power alleys with high walls. It figures to play as a pitcher’s park.

Left-center is 379 feet compared to 371 at Shea.
Right-center is 383 feet compared 371 at Shea.

John, any way you could post a photo of the new outfield configuration? It sounds interesting, but I’m having a tough time visualizing it. How many nooks and crannies and complications are there?

Either way, thanks for the good work.

I was at the Spring Training complex yesterday …. they had the outfield fence covered in canvas—much like the Metrodome with that garbage bag look …. unfortunately, since it is one of the back field practice fields, you are at ground level and you really can’t see all the nooks and crannies …. you can see the various heights of the walls but all the angels are just not perceptable given the vantage point. You would need to be higher in the stands to get the real feel of what this will be like.
