Hit the lights: Mets outfit Citi Field for electric light shows - KSTP.com 5 Eyewitness News

NEW YORK (AP) — The Mets are lighting up Citi Field, even before their batters step up to the plate. About 70 front-office staffers scattered around the ballpark for over five hours to install 3,500 strips of LED lights on each railing ahead of New York’s first home postseason game. When the games reach the late innings and the sky darkens, the Mets dim the stadium lights as the ribbon boards flicker in blue, and then they activate the rail lights that glimmer in the team’s colors of royal blue and orange, and later red, white and blue for “God Bless America.”
