This is What Met Fans do to Their Dogs

My boss scored tickets to the Mets-Braves game last night and when he offered me a ticket I couldn't pass up a chance to check out Citi (we got bailed out by the taxpayers) Field. As a Yankee fan, I didn't have a rooting interest in the game - but as a fan of sports I don't believe you should ever pass up the chance to go to good sporting event.

Citi Field itself is very nice -- it's a user-friendly venue where you can see the field from almost any point on the main concourse. There is a food court out and picnic area out behind center field, where they have a few premium food vendors like Shake Shack and Blue Smoke -- but the lines for those places were really long, so I took a pass on sampling any of their offerings. One thing I did find amusing was the "bottled beer" stands sold only cans, but hey, it was still beer so that was a plus.

While the Mets won 4-3 in the bottom of the 10th on a walk off walk, there was one Met fan that wasn't a winner last night - this dog - which was tied up outside the stadium next to an owner who was clearly proud of his work.



The poor little guy is clearly candidate for a pet who wants to kill himself.

UPDATE: I can't believe I failed to mention this, but there was a streaking incident last night as well, please heed all warnings on the video if you are at work.

Could I ask what type O'cans were they offering the splendid Met fans?

Schlitz Gay perhaps?

for cans they had a typical selection of shitty light beers - bud light, coors light, etc...

to be fair, out in centerfield they have a micro brew stand with a good variety.

here's the deal with mocro brews though..... having a microbrew 5-6 years ago = cool. having microbrew currently = douchy.

its a shame its a big beer world, but, when did anyone of us serve a micro at any of our latest gathering......

too expensive and too many variables with the tastes of these things.
