New Citi Field further from La Guardia, noise


New York, NY—The New York Mets expect jetliner noise to be slightly less of a problem this year with the opening of their new stadium Citi Field (not pictured). The new field is located adjacent to the team's former home, Shea stadium (pictured, top stadium on right). The team has forever battled plane noise do to its proximity to La Guardia Airport (top of photo), less than a mile away. "Even though the new stadium will be only several hundred feet further west it will make a difference. Although, probably not a big difference, but it could make a huge difference," said Professor Frank Neuman, Queens College sound reverberation expert.
