They Can’t Shui-at To Shui In On The Two New Stadia
In case you were wondering how Citi Field and the new Yankee Stadium stack up:
A study of the two new baseball stadiums by feng shui expert Judith Wendell found the Yankees’ future home has good luck while the Mets’ Citi Field will be plagued by “a lot of disturbed energy.” Wendell visited the two sites, which are slated to open in 2009, exclusively for The Post.
There is one bright spot for Met followers: Citi Field’s color scheme of dark blue exposed steel with green seats and red brick are what Wendell calls a “power combination.” They are certainly “much better” than the team colors of blue and orange, which she deems “antagonistic.”
The Yanks broke ground on Babe Ruth’s birthday, Aug. 16, and are repeating many elements of the old stadium, including the angles for home plate and the positions of the dugouts. Cathedral arches and the entire façade will also recapture the old Yankee Stadium incarnations.
“In feng shui terms, they are taking the ‘predecessor chi’ and bringing it with them and graphing it on to the new stadium, which is very good for luck,” said Wendell . . .
