Why isn't Citi Field filling up?

I spent a lot of the off-season predicting doom and gloom for Mets attendance.   Even I am surprised at the number from last night.

30, 042.

Now that’s not the worst number in the world.  You do that 80 times and you draw 2.4 million.  However, it seems small to me.

The team has been interesting.   The weather is warm.  So why aren’t you going?

I’ll be curious to see today’s crowd.  It’s a hot day, a Saturday+ plan game and a giveaway.

Should be good, no?

    It takes me about two hours to get to CitiField, so waiting for the absolute last minute deals isn’t that much of an option.

    Cheapest seats on StubHub right now for today are $24, plus another $10 or so in fees. Promenade infield seats are $30 from the Mets, plus another $11 in fees if I order online. I could also take my chances to see what they had when I got to the box office, but I might end up in the left field Promenade seats I don’t like or a more expensive seating category.

    Add in another $20 or so in transportation costs, and whatever I might spend on food. I can’t afford to go every weekend, and I can’t imagine how families can afford to go more than once or twice a season.

    Maybe people don’t like CitiField and all the non-baseball b.s.

    Maybe it’s too expensive.

  • My new favorite Met: #13 Mike Nickeas

     

    Again, the site is having major problems…hence the funkiness….what totally sucks was today was gonna be “work ahead” day.  Oh well.

    While I try to recover ALL the posts (doh!!!!!!) I’ll continue typing over here in the orange box.

    So why is Mike my favorite Met?  Because I love the number thirteen.

    (Actually my favorite Met is future Hall of Famer Jon Niese.  I intended to post today about “Mets I like” - but not having a blog at all is sort of screwing with the plan for the day)

    FLUSHING, N.Y., September 2, 2010 – The New York Mets today announced they selected the contract of catcher Mike Nickeas from Buffalo (AAA) of the International League.  To make room on the 40-man roster, the team transferred righthanded pitcher John Maine to the 60-Day Disabled List.  Nickeas will wear uniform #13 and will be available for tonight’s game in Atlanta.

     

    Nickeas, 27, began the season at Binghamton (AA) of the Eastern League, where he hit .283 (75-265) with five home runs and 33 RBI in 82 games.  The 6-0, 210-pound Nickeas joined Buffalo in late August, playing in seven games and hitting .214 (6-28).

     

    The native of Vancouver, Canada originally was drafted by the Texas Rangers in the fifth round of the 2004 First Year Player Draft before being traded to the Mets on August 30, 2006 for outfielder Victor Diaz.

  • The site at metspolice.com is experiencing technical problems.

    Remember those other 7,000 posts from the last three years?   Media Goon is down in the basement retyping them.

    Until he finishes,I will use the Tumblr as a workaround.

    metspolice.tumblr.com or just stare right here and ignore that white space on the left.   Might be a while…
