“We’re in discussions now about a professional exhibition between a high-profile club European team and a Mexican team for late July,” said Howard. “We probably will have an announcement about that a little later this week.

“We also have had discussions with the National Hockey League about the [annual Jan. 1] Winter Classic. They came to study Citi Field, and they were very impressed.

And hopefully the 2013 MLB All Star Game is about to be announced.
Congrats to the Mets on a successful event.
