Times architecture critic Nicolai Ouroussoff reviews Citi Field and the new Yankee Stadium (both designed by the same architecture firm) and says the ballparks reflect each team's character: "Yankee Stadium is the kind of stoic, self-conscious monument to history that befits the most successful franchise in American sports. The new home of the Mets, meanwhile, is scrappier and more lighthearted. It plays with history fast and loose, as if it were just another form of entertainment." [NYT]
