Hey remember last week when the Mets were trying to be all cool and mysterious on social media, and for a few minutes we were like OOO WHAT IS IT but then someone sleuthed out it was a store thus destroying not only the Mets plans but also a lot of their social media goodwill as we felt Played By Commerce.
Anyway, M. Donald Havens and the gang have admitted its a store. Yawn.
By the way, Mets House sounds like a place you wind up after doing too much cocaine and maybe finding yourself briefly living in places like Cincinnati, Anaheim and Baltimore before find yourself checking into Mets House instead of Cooperstown. Speaking of which, I probably should have read ahead here….but it only proves the point.
The New York Mets will hold a ribbon cutting ceremony on Friday, March 7 at 11 a.m. to open Mets House NYC – their first ever pop-up experience located in Union Square. Mets President of Business Operations M. Scott Havens along with Mets Chief Growth Officer Andrew Grossman will be on site to speak at the event. Mets alumni Dwight “Doc” Gooden and Todd Zeile will also be on site for the grand opening.
Just in time for the 2025 season, this new and exciting multipurpose space will give Mets fans an exclusive opportunity to engage with their favorite team outside of the ballpark. Mets House will feature themed activities, exclusive merchandise, ongoing surprise experiences, including giveaways and special gifts with purchase, and other interactive elements, creating a vibrant and memorable atmosphere for all who visit.
M. Donald Havens totally understands the Mets fan.
“We often hear from our fans that they are looking for new ways to support the team outside of Citi Field and opening Mets House is the perfect way to make that happen,”
Do ya now?
“Mets House is more than just a pop-up shop – it provides our fans with unique experiences that will change throughout the duration of the activation. It’s also a way for us to reach new fans and get them excited to check out a game at Citi Field.”
Julie Stein, Executive Director of Union Square Partnership. added “Union Square is the perfect place for residents and visitors alike to come together and celebrate fandom, sports culture, and the game we all love. It’s a home run!”
Yay.
