Over the weekend I commented on a post from Mets Today with the goal of encouraging the Mets to let people “sneak down” when the stadium is half-empty.
Well, Sunday night during the third inning the Mets invited fans to move down to the open seats. Â I’m getting my info from fans at the game – I’ve heard “to field level” and “closest open seat.”
Whatever the announcement was, I think that’s great. Â There are die-hards out there in the rain tonight, let them have a nice night. Â Maybe some kid has a great experience and forms a life-long experience with the team.
Some folks are being cynical saying that the Mets were embarrassed to show empty seats on national TV. Â I’m not buying that logic.
The Mets did something nice for the fans, and since this is a fan-advocacy blog I applaud this move in a big way!
(Maybe this blogging stuff works?)
