Citi Field may not be the most popular Major League Baseball stadium in New York City. However, the venue provides a much more intimate experience for baseball fans than nearby Yankee Stadium. On the other hand, you’ll also have long-time New York Mets fans that would have loved to have seen Shea Stadium (former home of the New York Mets) preserved like Fenway Park, Wrigley Field, and Angel Stadium of Anaheim. The fact remains that Shea Stadium left much to be desired in terms of premium seating options that cater to New York City area businesses and corporations. Additionally, the New York Mets also wanted to compete with the New York Yankees who were building a brand new Yankee Stadium. Our staff wanted to provide a thorough breakdown of the Citi Field seating chart to help baseball fans decide where to sit before purchasing their New York Mets tickets.
Where To Sit At Citi Field
Citi Field is an easy stadium to navigate for first time visitors. For the most part, baseball fans will be seated on the field level (lower level), excelsior level (middle level), and promenade level (upper level). We’ll begin by discussing the field level seats.
