Member Review - Jillian Fisher of Jillian Fisher

I was here for a hot summer day but still had a great time. This stadium is very spacious, and there are a lot of spaces to tuck away from the sun or heat of the summer. The food is mostly just standard ballpark food, but there are some specialties around the main concourse. I would recommend taking a loop around the entire main concourse.

Fan Tips

Citi Field combines modern design with nods to classic New York baseball. Located in Queens near Flushing Meadows, the stadium is easily accessible by subway, with fans arriving just steps from the main entrance.

The Jackie Robinson Rotunda serves as the main entry point and sets a strong first impression, blending history with a clean, open layout. The stadium’s design takes inspiration from historic ballparks while offering modern amenities.

Seating throughout Citi Field is comfortable with strong sightlines, and the overall layout is easy to navigate. The outfield areas and social spaces provide a more relaxed environment for fans looking to move around during the game.

Food is a major highlight, with Citi Field widely considered one of the best ballparks for concessions. Options like Shake Shack and a variety of local vendors make it a destination for food as much as baseball.

After the game, the crowd flows back toward the subway and surrounding transit options. The experience is smooth and efficient, making Citi Field one of the easier stadiums to navigate both before and after games.

Security Screenings

Like almost all US and Canadian Stadiums, you will need to enter through a metal detector before entering the stadium.  Be sure to give yourself extra time and don't bring any weapons or devices that could be seen as a weapon inside.  Pat down searches may be required.

Bag Policy

Purses, diaper bags that are not backpack style, tote and drawstring bags are allowed as long as they’re not larger than 16”x16”x8". Backpacks are no longer allowed unless they are totally clear with no obscured interior pockets.

Note: Bag and security policies listed above are for typical sporting events. Special events, concerts, and other situations may result in variations. Please check the event website for any changes.
