Shouldn't the playing field be approximately 20 feet above current sea level if the oceans are going to rise by 20 feet in the next 50 years? I guess Yankee Stadium will be only a small concern if the island Manhattan is gradually destroyed in the next 50 years.

For Mets games, in the evening going back to Manhattan and both ways on the weekends, there is no express #7 service, which lengthens the trip time significantly back to Queensboro Plaza and Manhattan. Improved service for these major events would help encourage more mass transit ridership. One specific comment is that Mass Transit could be done somewhat better for major events around NYC.
