Mets half-planning to lose tonight so they can sell you hot dogs at Thursday’s Citi Field Watch Party

The Mets have shared the below.  It’s $10 to sit out in the cold.  Gates open at a super convenient 7:30 so have fun killing time until then.  It’s not like they could let you in and show the other game.

Also note that “The event is subject to cancellation at Citi Field’s sole discretion” which I think is code for “if we don’t sell too many it’s not worth the electric bill.”

Here at Mets Police I suggest you donate $10 to a local animal shelter and stay home.  This is silly.
