Citi Field is the new baseball park for the New York Mets that is being built in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in the New York City borough of Queens as a replacement for the adjacent Shea Stadium, which was itself constructed in 1964 adjacent to the site of the 1964-1965 World's Fair. It has been designed by HOK Sport. It is currently named after the investment bank Citigroup. The $850 million Citi Field is being directly subsidized with $450 million in public funds.

The first ever game at the stadium is scheduled for April 3, 2009, in a charity exhibition game against the Boston Red Sox[2], while the first regular season home game is scheduled for April 13, 2009, against the San Diego Padres. Citi Field will reportedly be granted the All-Star Game in 2013, which would mark the first time the Mets would be the host club for the event in almost 50 years.
