Al Weinman“When a city’s tax payers  proposed new stadiums, it’s a loss to the city and a gold mine to the teams. A new stadium would be good for corporate people but less beneficial for the average fan. There would be a lot more luxury boxes and fewer seats for the average fan. I’m against taxes spent this way.”

Bob Howard“Yes! The soon-to-be World Champion Mets need a new ballpark with some character and much, much better parking facilities.”

Rudy Greco“I support the city and state building infrastructure: train stations, bus stations and highway access necessary for a new stadium. Let any team build its own stadium just as any business owner builds his own store. We need the money to build more schools.”

John Chapin“New stadium? I’d only go so far as supporting a retractable dome on Shea Stadium, on the grounds that they do not go to artificial turf.”

Fred Loayza“I’d like to see a new stadium for the Mets. The one we have now is too old. We in Queens deserve a new stadium! Maybe this would help attract a football team that moved to Jersey to come back. Now my son who is a Yankee fan, and I a Met fan, look forward to the days ahead.”

Ann Hughes“Baseball has brought a lot of excitement to all of us in Queens. Let’s have a subway series! I’m happy with the present Shea Stadium, it’s nearby and we love to see our exciting Mets. A few improvements, Yes, but it’s great!”
