Red Sox Nation Test Invasion of Citi Field In Corona, Queens

This will be the 1st "Nation Invasion" of NYC this year, only it's to Corona in Queens and not "Toilet III" in The Bronx. Jon Lester gets the start for The Red Sox and Livan Hernandez goes on the mound for the Mets. 1st Ever Major League Pitch should be at 6:12PM-EDT, and the 1st Major League Batter should be Jacoby Elsbury. N E S N Coverage begins with Pre-Game at 5:30PM, EDT. S N Y Coverage should be starting around the same time. I hope that Jerry Remy brings Wally to Citi Field, Deck Chair and All:

Just so it isn't a shock to you, Shea Stadium, as Ralph Kiner would say, is "Gone, Good Bye;

Unlike Shea Stadium, this is an attempt to recreate some ballparks of Yesteryear in NYC, for the Outside looks like a Bigger Version of Ebbets Field(Crown Heights, Brooklyn), which in Ebbets Field's Timeline, was only about 32K Seats, not unlike Fenway Park, in Boston's Kenmore Area;

The New Citi Field, like its' Spiritual Predecessor, Ebbets Field, will have a huge Rotunda, with Terrazzo and Marble Floor. Like both Ebbets Field and Fenway Park, it'll have a feeling for intimacy;

Unlike Fenway Park and Ebbets Field, there are no really nearby eateries or watering holes. You'll have to jump on the MTA #7 Train to find some place to wet one's whistle, or dine;

Transportation Directions for MA and RI Residents: In Boston, either use South Station or Back Bay for Amtrak to Penn Station. At Penn Station-NY, take #s 1,2, or 3 Train to Times Square and change for #7 Flushing Line to Mets-Willets Point Fare is $2;

For those in Providence or Kingston or Waverly, RI, Amtrak to NY Penn Station, ditto directions above;

CT Residents-via Metro North to Grand Central Terminal, and take #7 Subway Line to Mets-Willets Point;

MA and RI Residents going to Penn Station might want to consider the L I R R Port Washington Line, taking train from Penn Station to Mets-Willets Point. It's also much-quicker;

Mass. Residents coming by Bus to Port Authority-NYC, can grab the #7 Line to Mets-Willets Point. Those coming via Chinatown Bus, can take either the B Line at Grand Street, to 42nd Street-6th Avenue and change for #7 Flushing Line, or the #6 Train at Canal Street, by Lafayette Street and change at Grand Central Station for #7 Train;

Me? I'll be taking the Q53 Bus to 61st Street-Woodside and getting on the #7 Flushing Express, for Mets-Willets Point;

Enjoy The Test Invasion-Citi Field Will be a NICE Experience;
