This isn’t written with my usual level of anger/frustration, it’s more one of my “ideas for the Mets” type posts.
Why don’t the Mets offer tours of Citi Field?
We can start with the fact that the Yankees do – and Fake Yankee Stadium doesn’t have all that much more history than Citi does. Â Here’s what the Yankees do:
The Classic Tour lasts 45 minutes to one hour and includes visits to the New York Yankees Museum presented by Bank of America, Monument Park, the dugout and clubhouse/batting cage area. The clubhouse/batting cage area is available ONLY when the team is on the road and during the off season. It is not available when the team is playing at home or has an off-day. Classic Tours for individuals (from 1-11 people) will commence every 20 minutes from 12 p.m. – 1:40 p.m.
The Mets have a museum now.  The clubhouse and dugouts might be interesting to see.  Maybe the demand isn’t what it would be in the Bronx, so then why not just offer one tour a week?
This came up today because Thomas who runs Checked Swing blog is coming in from Scotland (off-season) and just wants to see the place. Â Maybe someone out there reading this (Craig Marino?) could throw the guy a bone.
Longer term, why not offer this feature and make some extra cash?
Below are some links but please note the links within the individual posts may not work because since these originally ran I have redone the sites. Â So, click any link below and it will work, but the links within the pages that you visit may not – just come back to this page and start over. Â That’s one of the aspects of the redesign I haven’t gotten to yet.
