Little help here. All of the posted directions lead you to the following:



"Continue going straight on Shea Road and make

the next right, which will lead you into Gate 8."



But on the top of the page you posted:



"For those of you joining me at Citi Field next weekend, please enter the ballpark at the Seaver VIP entrance and park in Lot D. Parking is free."



Never easy driving and/or finding things around this place. So, any help would be appreciated. Which is it?

Hey Tom, quick question after the draft how easy is it to get a taxi from Citi Field. A local here told me that you can`t call up for service ,you pretty much have to get lucky hailing one .Is she messing with me ?
