The Mets Police

SLACKISH REACTION:   I am hoping to actually watch some GKR today!

I’m now focused on covering your Guest Experiences at Citi Field.  Please send your experience, good or bad, to Shannon at mets police dot com.

Yesterday I heard from some fans who were upset about the concession lines.  

ICYMI the Mets added a Rusty patch.

Citi Field needs to embrace the trough.

You have to feel bad for the 36,000+ who had to suffer through a sunny day game.  The Mets have made it clear their surveys show Mets fans prefer night games.

NOT LINKING:   everyone else has the story about the fan dying his hair.  Go read the unoriginal sites.   In other non-news, the MSM seems like they are having a Lazy Sunday, there aren’t even that many generic  articles fawning over Thor/Jake and/or Mickey.  You can find them if you look.

 

Sorry I am late with this…had a soccer tournament and Mrs. Mets Police used up all the family data and I have to muddle through dateless until midnight (because I am too cheap to pay $15 for one day of data, tomorrow is the 1st).

We will honor Rusty Staub by wearing a patch featuring his autograph in orange on the right sleeve of our home and away uniforms for the 2018 season. #RIPRusty pic.twitter.com/YNNnRdPHL9

Hi Mets fans. If you have a poor Guest Experience at Citi Field this season please let me know. I’d like to look into all of these.

I wasn’t at today’s game but I am being told that the Mets had long concession lines and ran out of hot dogs. That could make for a poor Guest Experience, although I am not sure the Mets care.

Let me know if anyone else experienced this today.

Wow @Mets glad you are winning but you need to do something about concessions – waited in line for 3 INNINGS and they just ran out of hot dogs. 🙄 #getittogether #bushleague #starving

I’m so glad I’m not the only person that complained about how bad the conssesion lines were at citi field. Idk how you can have unopened stands, have hour long lines, and run out of food. Also watched supervisors standing around instead of opening their other registers.

Waiting for food at Citi Field is the least efficient process I’ve been a part of, and I work in newsrooms.

Hey Citi Field: I know it involves paying workers which you probably don’t want to do, but your concession lines are a joke and are causing a hazard since lines are going into the concourse, yet you have stands unopened! Open them up next time!!!

Citi Field has a arguably the worst service I’ve ever seen

@metspolice I missed 4 innings on opening day waiting in a relatively short line at a stand that only served burgers, hot dogs, chicken tenders, and fries.

Hello Mets Fans!  I’m back from the soccer tournament (we won) so I didn’t catch any of the Mets game, but the A-Team is working Citi Field this week so I’m getting press releases again!  (Also thanks to Media Goon for texting me scores.)

As you know, the Mets have said their surveys show Mets fans prefer Saturday night games, so you have to feel really bad for the 36,098 who must have had a lousy Guest Experience sitting out in the sunshine all day.  Anyway, the game clearly said 1:10pm so it’s your fault if you didn’t enjoy the day game.

The game was played in a tidy 3:22!

 The Mets have begun the season 2-0 for the first time since 2013.

The Mets went UNDEFEATED in March!

Mickey Callaway has won each of his first two games at the helm of the Mets…The last Mets manager to win his first two contests was Joe Torre, who won his first three games when he took over as manager in 1977.

Anyway that concludes this season’s Inconvenient Sunny Saturday Afternoon Games.  Enjoy the night games all season long!

 

Eyes up.

The other day I waited on a very long line to use the bathroom.  One of my completely unreasonable complaints about the Guest Experience at Citi Field as managed by Chris Brown who still hasn’t contacted me is not just that I want to be able to see from my seat…

…I’d also like to be able to go to the bathroom.

My son and I got up and the line was crazy so we went back to our awesome view above.

After another inning or so my kid had to go so we waited on line.  Our bathroom trip was like 20 minutes, after all the game was sold out, and when we finally entered the men’s room I was surprised to find the rather large room had only six maybe seven urinals.

Then it hit me…..Citi Field needs to embrace the trough.

That’s Wrigley Field. Yes it can get cozy. And I’ve been in a men’s room where the trough is in the middle and you get to make eye contact with the fan across from you.

That being said, get over yourself. Nobody wants to see your schween. We all want to empty our bladders and go back to sitting behind a railing watching the game.

Look how many more of us could do our business if we had this revolutionary retro trough design,

I’m serious about this.   I don’t want to miss two innings – sorry I forgot how slow baseball has become – two batters because it took me 20 minutes to pee.

Embrace the Trough Mets.
