Where in Shea does the mezzanine roof start?

SuperSimpleFilter: in Shea Stadium, what rows of the mezzanine are under the roof?

Let's just get this one down, cause it's vital information that isn't on Mets.com or anywhere else I know of. If you are too far back in the mezzanine, the roof actually goes below eye level and you have to peer at the game through a little slit. Where does the roof start? The more detailed/precise, the better, but just a ballpark (around row F? row L?) would be great.

Could you call either their tickets phone number:

718-507-TIXX

Or the Mets switchboard:

718-507-METS

Someone there may be able to give you the right info.

I just sat in Section 11, row J on the mezzanine for one of the Twins games. There was no obstruction at all. From the angle, it looked like you could go up several more before it became a problem, but I can't give you a hard cut off...

For what it's worth, the only obstructed view seats stubhub mentions are "Loge Reserved seating may have an obstructed view in Rows K-L."

I was in the mezzanine section for a Twins game this week too. Section 6, row N had a full view of the field, but only a partial view of the TV screen and scoreboard. Moving down two rows after people started leaving made a big difference with the TV/scoreboard.
