This is your chance to see the New York Mets play in their new Citi Field stadium against the Washington Nationals, Saturday, Sept. 19, 2009. The two tickets are at field level, Section 128, Row/box 8, seats 5 & 6.

The game starts at 1 p.m.

Saying that Citi Field is an improvement over Shea Stadium is an understatement akin to calling Tom Seaver "a simply solid pitcher." Opened in 2009, the baseball-only stadium has a retro design with a brick façade and lots of exposed steel, as has become the norm in the major leagues. Its main entrance, the Jackie Robinson Rotunda, evokes the design of Brooklyn's long-lost Ebbets Field, while the second deck in right field hangs over the warning track like in Detroit's Tiger Stadium.

The ballpark provides for some unique seating areas (a section in right-center field consists of tables and chairs oriented toward the field) as well as some great photo ops (near the giant "42"—Robinson's jersey number—in the rotunda or by the old home-run apple from Shea Stadium, which has been relocated just inside the Bullpen Gate entrance).
