Anybody who finds or takes pictures of the progress of the stadium, please post them here. I'm anxious to see what our new stadium looks like as it's being built.

Stadium is going to be off the chain!!

Good thing it's going to be a pitchers park too, Omar made sure of that.

Parking already is a nightmare at Shea due to this field, and it will continue once this Field is opened. Sure it looks nice and all, but it will be hard for me to forget the memories at Shea. Ill continue to call this field Shea and not Citifield.
