I remember this well. It's interesting to see the concept of the park, with the different fences, along with the nooks and crannies inside the park that contain people on top and on the sides of the park relative to what it looks like now. To me, it was a weird time since we were just so used to Shea.
A terrible inaugural year. Everything went wrong and it was obvious they made this park way too big down the lines. It turned Wright into a 10 HR hitter instead of a 25-30 HR guy. If they wanted to make it into a triples type of ballpark, they needed to make right and left center bigger. It didn't help watching the Yankees have a World Series year and the Phillies cement that this was their era to dominate the NL East, not the Mets.
We’ve come a long way when it comes to stadium mockups

Isn’t that Tom McCarthy doing the narration? He’s now doing the Phillies TV play by play.
It’s Mets play by play announcer, Gary Cohen.
