Does Citi Field Need Some Neon?

Does anyone miss the neon figures on the outside of Shea? 

They weren’t the prettiest or the classiest, but they gave the place a unique character that many Mets fans enjoyed. It’s cool that they incorporated the images into the carpets in the clubhouse, but I think a lot of what people miss about Shea is that uniqueness that right now is missing in many ways at Citi Field.

Coors Field in Colorado features this on the side of the building. Ignore the awesome fact that it’s actually over a park entrance that’s also a brewery where Coors tests experimental brews, but it’s still something that I would love to see at Citi Field.

Maybe instead of this simple play at the plate, they could do something similar where the ball gets under a fielder’s glove (Buckner’s?) and it flashes “Mets Win!”
