2009 Opening Days for New Yankee Stadium, Citi Field

The AP got the scoop on opening days at the two new stadiums in 2009. The Mets will play at Citi Field on April 14, against the San Diego Padres. New Yankee Stadium will open with the Yanks against the Cleveland Indians on April 16. This year, the home openers for both teams were notable for stupid fan tricks: At Yankee Stadium, fans tried to steal bunting/banner while at Shea, some guys kicked a seat to pieces and tried to smuggle it out. Mets fans will get a chance to buy Shea seats--a pair goes for $869--this Monday.
