What would you want at a Mets fanfest?

Hey folks,

I have some homework to turn in.

If there was an (unofficial) Mets fan festival, what would you expect at it?

Players?
Alumni?
Merchants?
Dunk tank?
Panel discussions?
Screenings?
Mr. Met?
Banner parade?

Where should it be?

How much would you pay?

I understand the best scenario is “Citi Field, Free and Tom Seaver and David Wright hang out with you” but let’s assume none of that happens. Let’s also assume it’s a respectful fest so no ideas like “throw snowballs at Ollie.”

Discuss, share.

1964 Jets yearbook: Shea Stadium – Home of the Jets

Mike sent this over to get everyone pumped for today’s game.  I stopped rooting for the Jets when they stopped playing on Roosevelt Avenue.  I came to really dislike them in the 90’s when the rest of the country would get NFL doubleheaders and we’d sit through Rich Kotite disasters praying that NBC would update an out of town score.

They wouldn’t.

I’d like to be cool and trendy and pretend I’m rooting for the Jets today but honestly I can’t stand the thought of two more weeks staring at that fireman.

However, as a capitalist I will tell you there is plenty of Jets coverage over at Sports Police.

Thanks to Mike for sending!
