Wikipedia: "Citi Field has a capacity of 41,922. It has over 15,000 fewer seats than Shea Stadium. All the seats in the park are green – in an homage to the Polo Grounds, longtime home of the baseball Giants and the original home of the Mets – as opposed to Shea's orange, blue, red and green assortment.[27] The exterior facade is reminiscent of Ebbets Field (which was long sought by Mets owner Fred Wilpon, a Brooklyn native).

Chef Gordon Ram say's Pub and Grill at Caesar's Palace in Atlantic City. We didn't dine here because offensive language in public is frowned on by this poster. Not really when it involved an international television personality though. There are times when I'm shallow.
