What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
The Mets are so desperate to post anything since they are not mentioning anyone in the current team…..they posted this yesterday. Unfortunately they scared the heck out of many people with this one…..but don’t worry, David Wright is alive and well.
New Era, it’s OK. It’s really OK. You don’t need to keep cranking out designs. It’s clear to me that you’ve tried everything you could possibly think of and now you’re just throwing random stuff on a cap hoping @mediagoon will buy two of them.
You don’t need to do this.
New Era needs help. They seem to be feel pressured to introduce a new terrible cap almost every day. It’s OK guys, you really don’t need to.
This design from earlier in the week.
Mets Police has learned..
The New York Mets are partnering with facial recognition software Wicket to expand optional facial-ticketing at Citi Field. Beginning with Opening Day of the 2022 MLB season, all main entry gates at Citi Field will have Wicket machines to scan a fan’s face to confirm their ticket info upon entering the ballpark.
The partnership is an expansion upon the opt-in Mets Entry Express trial program that saw select lanes at Citi Field offer Wicket’s facial ticket entry last season. With Wicket, users upload an image of their face and ticket’s barcode before a game. Wicket’s computer vision software scans their face to allow entry without the fan having to show a printed or mobile ticket, enabling lines to move faster. (via Sport Techie)
The Mets just want you safe because they want you back. You think they are going to secretly track your movements through the park and your purchasing behavior and sell that information to Big Data? The Mets would never do that.
Besides, you’ll get into the park 5 seconds faster. Don’t you want to get into the park five seconds faster?
I mean so what if we’ve tied your face to your purchased ticket. You’ll get in five seconds faster!
Just keep this in the back of your mind. This sort of information comes in handy down the road when we find out something random like the Mets want to store nuclear waste where the Seaver statue was supposed to go….and we’re all like WHAT and then you just follow the money.
You never know when you might want to build a casino on parkland.
