This year the Amazings are in the running for the pennant. But the crowds at Shea were surprisingly low. I mean not incredibly low, but I got to move seats 3 times, eventually making it down to the near bottom. Going to the first level requires you showing your ticket to the ushers, making sure you really did pay for what you're getting. Here's a few pictures of the view. I didn't take a shot of our first seats in the upper deck, because it sucked so bad. But you can definitely see the difference between the last 2 seats. The crowds also get more rowdy as you get lower. I guess the real fans don't bother with shitty seats, and there's no sense in cheering when you nobody can hear you.
Cindy, an avid Mets fan, told me to eat the sausage and peppers, a Shea stadium classic. When your wash that down with your favorite beer and the Mets win, that's as close as you can get to perfection. Ohh yeah, the Mets beat the Atlanta Braves that night, 3-2.
