Let’s Make the Ballpark Look Even Worse

[Gwreck]

More unforced errors from the Mets with the ballpark. The advertising is just awful. It doesn't have to be this way.

That's fucking awful.

[Centerfield]

Homophobic chicken foul poles at our stadium.



The homophobic chicken foul poles were installed before any Seaver statue. Let that soak in.

[Ceetar]

I suspect a lot of the design complains are just because writing on foul poles is somewhat non-standard.



but either way, not a company they should be supporting, not that they've ever vetted an advertiser before, but still.

[Frayed Knot]

They have this in several ballparks throughout the league.

It looks good in none of them.





Do they take the ads down on Sundays?

[Edgy MD]

It's also an encroachment of advertisement into fair territory.



Yeah, that ship has sailed with ads on the wall, but this represents another level of creep*, and ads on the bases or painted into the outfield grass can easily follow.



*It's also another level of obstructed-view seating.

[Ceetar]

That they haven't put advertisements on the grass for tv yet (digitally) is merely just an oversight.



But in the nearish future, when we perceive our world entirely through AR, you'll be able to pay for an ad-free Citi Field.

[Centerfield]

You know what will help umpires judge a white ball against an orange pole? White lettering. Let's go with that.

[Ceetar]

we have replay for that anyway though. And robots, if we'd utilize them.



Neil Best has some views of the obstruction from a fan view point of view. Of course, those views were pretty bad anyway because of the big orange pole and thick orange netting. you gotta lean a little.

Seeing those in Houston and Atlanta, I'd think, OK, it's Houston and Atlanta.



This is supposed to be New York.

the lettering is awful. that is not a reflection on 'chic filla' or whatever it is called, it just looks horrible and as edgy says its an ad creep into fair territory that i hate

[Frayed Knot]

It also blocks views.

If I had season tickets that was suddenly now being blocked -- partially or otherwise -- I'd be demanding refunds and/or alternate seats.

I dunno I don't click into baseball card or music posts. Matt Harvey hasn't been a Met in a while, so didn't bother clicking into that either.



your response here was typical and unrelated though. Even if my post was defensive of the thing, which it wasn't, I'd be surprised if the Wilpons are particularly involved in second-half Ad/sponsorship sales. At best they give a final thumbs up, but given how little the Mets vet advertisers, even that's fifty/fifty.

A few weeks before Pride Night. Bravo, dumb shits.
