Mets Charge for Batting Practice/Tour

 

This is for Saturday

This is for Opening Day.

This is crazy. Remember when you could go into the games early and watch batting practice? Yeah that seems to be gone. In the day of monetizing everything, Batting Practice is now likely going to cost you. You can do a tour and be on the field during BP for $254 per ticket. I guess it could be cool if its something you always wanted to do but oof.

I’ll be on NY1 on Friday!

 

Always great talking to my buddy NY1’s Roger Clark at Donovan’s in Woodside about the Mets before the home opener at Citi Field on Friday. It’s become somewhat of a tradition with us before the home opener. Roger also got some good interviews with some local Woodside Mets fans. Check it out on Friday!

“We are thrilled to welcome Arepalicious, Dorado Tacos & Quesadillas, Fieldtrip, and Thai Tai Eatery to Citi Field’s award-winning culinary lineup this season,” said James Benesh, Vice President of Ballpark Experience. “Highlighting local small businesses through the Taste of Queens and Coca-Cola Food Truck programs has been an important initiative for the organization and a great way to connect to our local communities. These four incredible businesses have such unique stories and cuisines that will allow us to continue to provide Mets fans with the best ballpark food in Major League Baseball.”

 

“We proudly support local, diverse businesses and the opportunity for them to access a greater customer base with the support of the Mets,” said Michael Nelson, Commercial Director at Liberty Coca-Cola Beverages. “Liberty’s core mission is to serve our local customers, businesses and the employees who live in the same communities where we work every day.

This year, they teamed up with Celebrity Chef Adam Richman to provide local restaurants with the opportunity to be featured at Citi Field during the 2025 season.

 

“I’ve been lucky enough to be part of the incredible food program with the Mets at Citi Field, for two years now, but I think it’s incredibly special that the opportunity I have been given isn’t just for TV personalities or celebrity chefs,” said Adam Richman. “I’m excited to meet these incredible food industry professionals, to learn their story, to exchange ideas, inspiration, recipes, and to be there to help them in any way I can, using what I have learned during my years in the hospitality industry.”
