Brain Delay @ Citi Field – 6.13.14

The New York Mets held “Zombie Night” on Friday to celebrate Friday the 13th. Of course they got the NYC Zombie Crawl people involved and since I decided recently  I want to try to put together a book of my NYC Zombie Crawl photos I figured a zombie takeover of a Mets game would be perfect for the book. Unfortunately right as I left my apartment to head over to Citi Field it started pouring rain. By the time I got to my subway transfer in Queens it was raining so hard that water was leaking through the ceiling and on to the escalator. I was pretty sure the game was going to be canceled.

When I got there it was still pouring and I ended up getting drenched trying to get my ticket from head zombie Doug Sakmann. When we finally got in we found a small group of zombies, many of whom had already lost their makeup due to the rain. Doug set up a quick zombification station and hooked people up with some extra blood and guts. Still, the hundred plus zombies they were expecting was down to about two dozen and I am honestly surprised that many showed up. When the rain delay finally ended I went up to my seats and noticed that nearly no one was even in the upper deck of the stadium. There were probably only a couple thousand people in the whole place and instead of one big section full of zombies everyone just sort of snuck into way better seats around the stadium.

Essentially I traveled 45 minutes and got stuck in pouring rain to eat at Shake Shack and take handful photos of a dozen zombies. I watched two innings before getting the hell out of there. Not only is baseball tedious, but I have no investment whatsoever in the Mets or the Padres and it was nearly 10pm and I figured I could do something better with a Friday night. I did see a home run before I left which was kinda cool but not as cool as say eating a fried chicken sandwich with a cute girl which is what I did shortly after leaving the game.

So click here to see a few photos of the New York Mets Friday the 13th “Zombie Night” promotion at Citi Field.
