In right field there is a singular deck that is situated to extend into and over fair territory by eight feet
The four-acre natural turf field will expand from home in a northeasterly direction with the leftfield line stretching northward, and the right field line extending eastward
Distinctive asymmetrical outfield walls, along with generous dimensions (LF - 335'; LC - 379'; CF - 408'; RC - 383'; RF - 330') make for a traditional pitcher's park
Citi Field is clad in brick, limestone, granite and cast stone, with the brick closely resembling the masonry used at Ebbets Field, both in color and texture
