Citi Field From Pepsi Porch

Posted: September 23rd, 2010 | Filed under: Queens

Another game at Citi Field, this one against the Cubs from back in April, Oliver Perez’s second loss of the young season. We sat up in/on the Pepsi Porch:

The old Home Run Apple from Shea Stadium used to be in a less-than-prime spot out by the bullpen gate in right field:

Now it is much more prominently displayed in a much better location in the plaza as you get off the 7 train:

If you have the right ticket, you can walk by the control booth and watch them use the gear:

The view from the Pepsi Porch is nice but you’re literally hanging over the right field corner, which is a little dizzying:

Late in the game, fans in our section took to yelling “Frenchy” at Jeff Francoeur, who eventually tipped his hat to them:
