It was held yesterday. As a longtime Met fab who had yet to see the new stadium, I decided to go.
SU set up a bus that took our group from Manley directly to CitiField and back. Nice not to have to drive.
SU also offered a picnic lunch at their bullpen plaza area, where the SU party was set up. The food (dogs and burgers) was good. No ginger ale but this was not set up for big time donors so it was okay not to have the Trump Treatment.
Nice to be directly behind the Mets bullpen. Watched Marcum prep for his next start for a while.
I really like the design of the park. Intimate and open, with the stands very close to the field, even the upper deck is not very high (maybe half as high as Shea was). Lots of exposed steel, was contrasts nicely with all the brickwork.
Lots of great options for good too. Had already eaten so I wasn't able to sample some of what was available but again, the trend for world class sports venues is to offer more choices, especially more high end choices and I hope someone at the Dome eventually pulls their head out if the sand and tries to bring the facility's food options up to par.
Didn't see anyone from the board there that I recognized. Great game, the Mets ended up winning after suffering a horrible loss on Friday night.
Heard the Mets were really accommodating to SU and that SU was really appreciative. They had SU signs up on the ribbon boards many times, had a kid from SU sing the NA, played the SU Lou Reed video, announced it was Cuse day, showed an ad for the SU-PSU game at MetLife, etc.
Nice job SU. Nice job Mets. Good time had by all.
Also, saw one fan with an RU shirt. No one with Johnnies gear, PSU gear, UConn gear, etc.
