Citi Field sits in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park in Queens, right beside the busy 7 train and the sweep of Roosevelt Avenue, giving it a distinctly New York, outer‑borough energy. It has been the home of the New York Mets since 2009, replacing Shea Stadium just a few steps away on the same site.
The ballpark blends modern design with nods to Mets history—the brick‑and‑glass façade echoes Ebbets Field, the Jackie Robinson Rotunda anchors the main entrance, and the Home Run Apple rises in center field as a beloved team symbol.
Its location places fans in the heart of Queens’ diverse neighborhoods, with easy transit access and the parkland of Flushing Meadows surrounding it, making Citi Field feel both connected to the city and unmistakably the Mets’ home.
