The season opening is slated <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ireneeng.com\/2009\/03\/25\/monica-seles-a-bubbling-career-pierced-with-a-knife\/\">on 4\/13<\/a>.  The new stadium is classy, cozy, wide open, less seats (they couldn&#8217;t sell out anyway, might as well make them nicer and less ..) nicely done, with an old world charm, or old ball field feeling, like the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ebbets_Field\">Ebbets Field<\/a> where Brooklyn Dodgers played.  It&#8217;s a good place to go, to watch a game and have a drink or two.  But today was too cold to have a beer \ud83d\ude41 .. thank lord it didn&#8217;t rain out, the sun almost made it through.  The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ireneeng.com\/2008\/09\/25\/final-week-at-shea\/\">Shea Stadium<\/a> was like a no frill old Soviet thing, no kidding.  The surrounding of the field is still lousy, not sure when it will be completely rehabilitated.   <\/p>\n<p>When we left, St. Johns was down 4:6.  Every time when a Georgetown guy scored, but RBI or homer, the dugout would be emptied out, everyone rushed out to high five the player.  So bush league ..  This is the first time I saw a minor league or college, so I have no way of knowing it&#8217;s the tradition or just the Georgetownies.  <\/p>\n<p>Once we were vacationing at the Cap Cod, Golfer sneaked out for a minor league game at night ..   couldn\u2019t say I was disappointed .. but would it be nicer if he said he scored with a girl? <\/p>\n<p>Golfer has a colleague who works in the tax department how&#8217;s evening gig isn&#8217;t parparing your tax returns but sell beers at the Shea now at the Citifield with the Mets. He does it for the love of it<\/p>\n<p>I would take my kids there, the only problem is: would they want to go?<\/p>\n<p>Now, will the Citigroup have the nine lives to renew the contract in 2029?<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"425\" height=\"344\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/m0WLpH13704&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/m0WLpH13704&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 The new Citi Field had opened today, hosted St. Johns vs Georgetown.
