The First Citistache

Yesterday was the first game ever at Citi Field.  The St. John’s Red Storm took on the Hoyas of Georgetown.  People wandered around taking pictures.  The bats made a strange “ping” sound.  And, for the first time in history, The Wright Stache made its presence known at the new home of the New York Metropolitans baseball club.

I made my way out to Flushing armed with a ticket courtesy of friend o’ the stache Matt Huang, my camera and, of course, my stache.  While it was odd to feel like a stranger in a strange land, I can say with great pride that nothing felt more natural than being at our new ballpark with the stache.

There are plenty of previews of Citi Field out there, so I didn’t go overboard with photographs.  I was just there to let The Wright Stache (via my stache) and Citi Field get acquainted.  I am pleased to report that they got along swimmingly.

I did snap a few photos which you are more than welcome to view here.  And, if you have pictures of mustaches at Citi Field (yours or those belonging to anonymous friends o’ the stache), please be sure to SEND THEM TO US.

We have a big day and week ahead of us, so check back often.  Let’s just say that 10:45 this morning will be life changing.

  The new field looks great even in crappy weather. Thanks for the great preview! I love that there are amenities galore and they even made a shop just for us ladies. I thought it would be great if they developed and sold “Wright stache rides” there – no – not what you’re thinking, but don’t you remember the mechanical horse rides outside the grocery store when you were growing up? How about a mechanical mustache ride. Lots of good ol’ fashioned fun just for a quarter. And then the proceeds could go towards the team’s facial hair upkeep products. Everyone’s a winner!
