New Mets Stadium

Today the Mets revealed their plans for a new stadium. It will have 45,000 seats (about 9,000 fewer than Shea) and will be located right next to where Shea is. It will debut on Opening Day 2009 and aims to remind some people of Ebbets Field. It is designed to be another pitcher friendly park (distances: LF - 335'; LC - 379'; CF - 408'; RC - 391'; RF - 300') but will have a short porch in right which should be good for lefty hitters. I hope Ralph Lauren will buy the naming rights and call it the Polo Grounds.
