Overall: Nice stadium but it's not like you feel like it's any nicer than Turner.

The Battery cool but honestly I have not done much exploration.

I can't quite put my finger on why I don't like the chop house as much but I don't like it as much.

The whole memorabilia/HOF section is really cool. So is the Terrapin taproom / Fox Brothers thing...but it's kind of lame you have to scan your ticket to get back in and out.

Also pro tip: Use Lyft not Uber while leaving the stadium. Lyft does not have to stay in that stupid long arse queue.

Mine is the fact that the cooler/electronic unit things look like commercial A/C units. They gotta paint them or something this offseason.

We sat in the Chop House reserved seats during the Mets series. The seats and view were great, but I have several issues with it...

1) Service sucks. One of the women in our group went up to the main area after we had been waiting a while for our beer and noticed that a lot of the servers were just standing around mingling. Apparently they focus more on the people that are up in the main area. Regardless, they were slow and terrible.

2) It's hard to move around in the row. You end up pushing around all the seats to make a path to get out of there.

3) The chilled cup holders actually produce a lot of heat in the area where your legs are. Each unit is basically a powered cooling machine. It was a nice evening when we went, but when it gets hot out there this summer I can't imagine that will fill good. Also, my wife's cupholder was full of water from a faulty unit, I'm guessing.
