I've got to go and do some reading on the other new parks to see if they have as many obstructed views. With the Mets and Yankees both having a fair number of seats with portions of the field blocked off, maybe it's more difficult than I thought to build a stadium with all clear sightlines for 42,000+ seats.
I wasn't taking detailed notes yesterday, but the ones I noticed were, the last few outfield sections in RF. Similar to Shea where if you were in the last sections in the Upper Deck or Mezz in right field (or left field) you couldn't see your respective outfield corner. Same is true in Citi, at least from the front part of the sections. Not sure what it's like in the top of the sections. Also, I didn't get around to LF so I'm not sure if the LF corner is blocked from view there.
The other obstruction I noticed was if you are in the back-left part of Section 139. I forget what's blocking the view, but you are obstructed from seeing the fence/warning track area in LF, especially the parts that jut out deeper in left-center and LF.

Parking is $18 now??? How is that even possible?
It's possible because parking is still quite limited, and people like to drive, and will pay $18 to park. Plus, you pay $18 to park and that basically the same price to bring a family of 4 on the subway, and less than that family of 4 on the LIRR.
And just to note, they were nice enough to to gouge everyone yesterday. Parking was $5.

Can you get to Shea via the LIRR?
Yes, and it is encouraged.
