Mets owner Steve Cohen fields ideas for land around Citi Field in visioning session

FLUSHING, Queens (WABC) -- Mets owner Steve Cohen fielded ideas on Saturday for what to do with the land around Citi Field.

"How do we connect it to the waterfront and how do we create parkland and opportunities for people to come down and have a good time after the game and before the game?" Cohen said.

Cohen held what he called a 'visioning session' to get public input. He has made no secret of the fact he is considering a bid to build a casino on the land.

This past week, New York announced it was starting to accept proposals for three downstate casinos.
