Went to Saturday's Met game, an annual event with a group of about 40 friends/family/neighbors/etc. We used to go to Fireworks Night, but since they don't do that anymore, we've taken to afternoon weekend games. We were in the last row (actually, we had 3 rows) at the top of the stadium, in straightaway left field - just about as far as you can get from Home Plate and still be in the stadium! With the roof over that area, I couldn't see any of the Expressway Visual arrivals at LGA, but I did get a few decent shots of the game.

Here was the view from my seat - they have TV monitors on the back of that overhead to give you a better view of the game.

Moose, you saw quite a game. I'm very jealous! Your shots looks great.

Secondly, I'm a little disappointed that you didn't go walk near the Pepsi porch to get some EV31 pics!!!! Perfect opportunity!

Any hassle in bringing your long lens in?

That Santana sequence is fantastic John! Great shots!

Thanks, guys! Phil, I did consider trying to get some shots, but I was with people, and after the climb up to the top of the stands, I didn't want to be going up and down too many times! And no, no problems with security bringing in the 100-400. I have a "small" camera bag that's big enough for the camera, a short lens and the big lens. All they do is check inside, never had a hassle from the Mets, either at Shea or now at Citi.
