What it's known for
Citi Field’s main entrance, the Jackie Robinson Rotunda, honors the Brooklyn Dodgers legend, and the park’s brick exterior was inspired by Ebbets Field. After Mets home runs, the Home Run Apple rises from behind the center-field fence.
The ballpark has some of the best food in baseball, with stands from popular New York restaurants. Citi Field is next to the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, home of the US Open.
Getting there
Take the 7 train to Mets–Willets Point, which stops right next to the ballpark, or the Long Island Rail Road to the Mets–Willets Point station on game days.
Tips for your visit
- Arrive early to walk the food options; the lines get long by the third inning.
- Look up: planes from LaGuardia Airport fly right over the stadium.
- Citi Field and Yankee Stadium are about a 30-minute drive apart, so you can visit both on the same trip.
