My friends the Mets think they know how to throw a fan fest. Here’s the really vague details they shared.
NEW YORK METS TO HOST AMAZIN’ DAY AT CITI FIELD
Fans can meet alumni and current players, take a swing in the batting cages, go behind-the-scenes at Citi Field and so much more on Saturday, January 25
FLUSHING, N.Y., January 23, 2025 –The New York Mets will host Amazin’ Day presented by Coors Light, Guardian and New Era at Citi Field on Saturday, January 25. This ultimate fan fest will give Mets fans the chance to experience the excitement and ramp up to the 2025 season in a completely new way. Attendees will get a chance to meet their heroes, grab their signatures, get exclusive access to usually restricted areas of the ballpark, hear from Mets leadership and make memories that will last a lifetime. In one of the largest offseason gatherings in Mets history, over 50 players, alumni and prospects are expected to be in attendance at Citi Field. Although General Admission tickets are sold out, a limited quantity of VIP tickets are still available atMets.com/AmazinDay.
“Every fan I’ve spoken to this winter can’t wait for the 2025 season to start,” said Mets President of Business Operations, M. Scott Havens. “The entire NY Mets organization has been hard at work this offseason to connect with our fans and do something meaningful for them, which is how Amazin’ Day came to fruition. Our fans bring a special kind of energy and magic to Citi Field, and we’re looking forward to seeing their excitement at Amazin’ Day as we show them a special preview of the 2025 season and celebrate this iconic franchise.”
As part of the highlights of Amazin’ Day, fans will be able to meet players and alumni during autograph sessions and hear from them during live panel discussions. Fans can also go behind-the-scenes to usually restricted areas including the field, bullpen, batting cages and clubhouses. There will also be an opportunity for fans to “host” their own press conference and snap photos in the official Mets press conference room.
