It’s beginning to look a lot like hockey, all around Citi Field. The NHL has fully taken over the home of the Mets, making a place most associated with summer memories into a full-on winter wonderland. Even the home run apple has been co-opted, with a big Winter Classic emblem slapped on the front of it.
Citi Field, normally dormant in December, was bustling Saturday afternoon, with workers hustling to make sure that everything is in tip-top shape for Monday afternoon’s outdoor game between the Rangers and Buffalo Sabers in the 10th annual Winter Classic.
But, worry not, the NHL know’s they’re only renting the haunts and had nothing but kind things to say about their host.
