    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>When the Mets move to Citi field in 2009, the Home run apple in Shea's center field won't be moving with them. A group of Mets fans have started a website hoping to change that. The group wants the same Apple that's been there since 1980 to make the move. SaveTheApple.com has a petition to get the word out to other Mets fans. -- FoxSports.com</div></p>

    I don't understand why the apple wouldn't move with them.</p>

    Why would it? Sure it wasn't designed to take the space for a none paying customer. In that same 40x40x40 space, bet you could collect (100 seats) at least 250,000 via parking, attendance, and concessions over the course of a season.</p>

    Couldn't they put it on a tower or something? That wouldn't displace seats.</p>

    I'm a Mets fan and I think it's kind of ugly, too. Maybe a more modern version would fit the new stadium better.</p>

    The original apple could be in a museum in the new stadium. That would be awesome.</p>

    I think they would be best off putting it outside, so when a Met hits a homer, people outside passing by or on the 7 train can see it light up and rise up.</p>
