New York Mets

The New York Mets have been playing baseball since 1962. Many people of all ages enjoy watching baseball, eating hot dogs or other food from the stadium, drinking beer, and enjoying the weather. (Outside food and drinks are not allowed inside. Security is strict.) Games on Monday through Saturday are usually in the evening, and games on Sundays are usually in the afternoon. The New York Mets are one of two Major League Baseball teams in New York City. The New York Mets and New York Yankees have a rivalry, and almost nobody likes both teams. This stadium was built in 2009, it has excellent sight lines, and its entrance pays homage to the arched facade of Ebbets Field, the long-since-demolished ballpark of the old Brooklyn Dodgers. The entrance is named the Jackie Robinson Rotunda, honoring the first black player in modern Major League Baseball, who played for the Dodgers at Ebbets Field. A museum dedicated to the New York Mets is next to the rotunda, and it is open on game days. If the Mets hit a home run, look for the Home Run Apple rising out of the center field wall. The area surrounding the stadium has nothing to do, though.
