Mets ballpark Attendance down

 made with GROK

Attendance dropped this year in Flushing you say? The Mets dropped from 5th place to 12th place in attendance you say? I wonder if besides the product that was on the field for most of the season(including the fired manager. How about the $50 parking? The Parking structure construction that made it harder to park. If you did park further away from the ballpark like at the mall and the Marina West lot, you felt like you might have need a shuttle bus to get to the stadium. Before the young guys started playing the team was so boring. It felt like the Mets should have been paying us to be there and not the other way around. 

Also what about the Mets trying to be cute with the way they were selling the single tickets this year. They only put up inventory for sale up to a certain date and you couldn't buy anything past that point because you can infer(not saying this is why they did it though) that the Mets were trying to create an artificial demand and to hope that the Mets did well so they could hike the second part of the season prices. The constant in your face "entertainment and loudness" of the ballpark that is so over the top it does the opposite of making it fun to be in the seats. 

It was a chore to get to the ballpark. It was a chore to be at the games. This was maybe the first season in quite a while that I wish I didn't have any type of ticket plan to force me to go to games. Eh but what do I know. I feel like die hard fans aren't the target audience any more and the Mets are just looking for the casuals.

From Yahoo.com

"MLB insider reveals poor attendance numbers for Mets from disaster 2026 season

"The Mets' attendance was down 14.8% from last season, averaging 33,901 fans a game, going from fifth in attendance to 12th, with their only sellout on opening day," Nightengale writes.

These numbers from Nightengale are quite bleak. It shouldn't be a surprise that the Mets' attendance numbers were down for such a poor season.

But this is still a significant drop-off in attendance this season. Going from No. 5 in attendance to No. 12 is quite the difference for a team that has as strong a fanbase as the Mets.

That 14.8% drop in attendance is massive, and for how poorly the season's gone, it's unfortunately a deserving difference for how poorly the year's gone."

First QBC Guest Announcement.

 

\

“Dropping in” at the QBC like he did on Game 6 in 1986 is…..Michael Sergio!

For the first time let's really hear the story of that night from the man himself. I wonder if he brings the flag…..

This guy blew my mind when I was a kid in 1986 and I saw him landing on the field at the World Series. It was such a crazy scene. This is going to be a real fun panel and like all of you I want to know what was going on his mind when he thought of doing this, actually doing it, and then afterwards. This should be an amazing panel.

Info of when tickets go on sale and pricing for the QBC and other guests will be coming out soon. Thanks for always supporting the QBC.

Try Dock 3366 for some great Cantonese food.

 

A TASTE OF HONG KONG IN FLUSHING

Seafood, shared plates, and the generous rhythm of a Hong Kong dinner.

Dock3366 brings the feeling of a full Cantonese seafood table to Flushing: lobster, crab, shellfish, wok dishes, rice and noodle comfort, and drinks that make the meal settle in naturally.

The restaurant is built for people who like to eat together. Come for a simple lunch, gather around seafood for dinner, or call ahead for a private menu shaped around the day's seafood selection.

OUR STORY

Aaron Poon brings Hong Kong roots, Japanese seafood training, and global sourcing experience.

Owner Aaron Poon is from Hong Kong. His food path began in Japan, where he studied food processing as an undergraduate and later trained under several Japanese sushi masters.

That training shaped how he looks at seafood: quality, timing, temperature, knife work, and restraint all matter before the dish ever reaches the table.

Aaron later worked across the United States, Japan, and China in seafood, wine, and premium food ingredient import and export. His background includes close work with agricultural partners in the U.S. and China, plus hands-on experience with local U.S. oyster and seafood cultivation.

Before the pandemic, he operated Lan Kwai Fong, a Cantonese restaurant in New York. With Dock3366, he returns to a direct belief: a restaurant should respect the ingredient first.

Freshness, texture, and natural flavor should be at the center of the meal.

I went here Sunday night to meet up with Aaron because his crew are the ones who run the venue where we have the QBC and we had a meeting while eating the food he cooked. This food was amazing. I can't even begin to describe how good the food was. If you are in Flushing and looking for some good, I mean sorry great Chinese food go here. Tell Aaron that Keith and the QBC sent you his way.
