Hey warning to those of you who don’t like standing in long lines outside the Mets’ safety perimeter. You know, the zone where anyone could walk up with a backpack….because I am sure there will be long lines outside the backpack free zone for this one!
BRINGING “SEINFELD NIGHT” TO CITI FIELD ON JULY 5
The Mets will kick off the night with a Jerry Seinfeld co-branded bobblehead, available to the first 25,000 fans who arrive at the ballpark.
Fans are encouraged to watch every episode before they arrive, from The Chinese Restaurant to The Hamptons, as attendees will be tested on their Seinfeld knowledge with trivia hosted by lifelong Mets fan Jerry Seinfeld. In addition, the infamous Soup Nazi, Larry Thomas, will be on hand greeting fans on the concourse.
“Two of my favorite things in all the world are the comedy arts and my New York Mets. This is one moment that I am very happy to have my ‘Worlds Collide’!” said Jerry Seinfeld.
“This is an exciting announcement for us,” Executive Vice President & Chief Revenue Officer for the Mets Lou DePaoli said. “Seinfeld and the Mets are a natural fit and we are extremely happy to be able to put this together. Our fans are going to love what we have in store for them, so giddy up!”
“The Mets celebrating Seinfeld is the quintessential New York experience,” said Sony Pictures Television’s President First Run Television John Weiser. “Everyone watching the game will have a great time enjoying their favorite show and team.”
Tickets for “Seinfeld Night” are now available at mets.com/seinfeld. In addition, special V.I.P ticket packages with exclusive benefits will be announced at a later date.
Seinfeld airs weeknights at 11 and 11:30 p.m. on PIX11.
