I was at that game also. I went to Arizona for a week and got to see the Mets Thu & Sat. I loved the stadium also. We went to Alice Coopers Cooperstown bar before the game. I like stadiums that have places to go nearby. I hope the new Mets stadium will have restaurants in the area. What I really appreciated was that no one yelled or clapped until the National Anthem was over. At Shea and most sports events, the cheering starts well before the last line. There were lots of Mets fans there. It was great.
