At Citi Field, revenue was $148.9 million in 2019, the third consecutive decrease. Moreover, last season’s ballpark revenue was 17% below 2009, the team’s first season at Citi Field and the alltime high-revenue mark. Net income increased 19% last season, to $65.1 million at Citi Field, but was 34% below 2009. The best news to glean from this 11-year financial snapshot of Citi Field is that ,despite the team’s on-field performance the past three seasons—sub-.500 in 2017 and 2018, an 86-win season in 2019 but no postseason berth—revenue and net income exceeded their averages over the time since Citi Field opened.
