(NEW YORK) -  Last week, David Howard announced what Mets fans have been waiting for – Citi Field will now be displaying Mets history throughout the stadium.  Although Mets fans have been outraged by the lack of celebration and the intruding presence of the Brooklyn Dodgers.  “It has been extremely well received” Howard said of the homage to the Dodgers, in particular, the Jackie Robinson Rotunda.  “You see all these adults, even kids who weren’t born when Jackie broke the color barrier, take pictures in front of the 42.”

What kind of changes will be made to represent Mets history?  Howard states, “Well, we’re still figuring that part out, but at the same time, fans have to realize that we need to balance it out a little bit.  With more Mets stuff, we are going to need more Brooklyn Dodger things, and with that I’m proud to announce the Wilpon’s have taken the steps to open a new, state of the art Museum to honor Jackie.”

When asked what the Museum would entail and where its location would be, Howard responded “Well, the plans are to quickly and efficiently close the Mets Club House Shop on West 42 and open it there.  We plan on taking the merchandise from the store and putting it by the banners behind the bull pen…so don’t worry, no one will see it.”

Howard explained that Mets paraphernalia would appear within Citi Field,  “We believe we’ve found the ideal spot – on the back of out-of-town scoreboard in the left field Promenade Reserved section, where all the die hard fans sit.”
