It’s all part of the plan.

PORT ST. LUCIE — The St. Lucie Mets will have a new logo and uniform set in 2013, but the teams name will remain the same.The Mets unveiled their new look, which features more orange and a Florida version of Mr. Met, at the booster club meeting Monday.

..

“We thought about getting away from the Mets and every time we considered something new like the St. Lucie Squid or the Salamanders or the Sand Sharks, we just coming back to the Mets,”

Thanks to Supreme Commander Lukas for the tip!

These look like they might be fun for some Florida-wear.

 

Looks like today’s must-read is in Newsday.  Some excerpts…

The records show that ballpark-related revenue such as premium ticket sales, concessions and parking has declined 43 percent since 2009, the stadium’s opening year.

The article is fascinating…seems they used the Freedom of Information Act to get this info!

Dave Howard, the Mets’ executive vice president for business operations, said he believes the team — and its finances — are on a positive trajectory, although he would not comment specifically on the latest financial records, citing team policy.

“We feel we are at a point where we are starting to move in a positive direction and we feel that our price to value is right where it should be,” he said. “And we’re confident that the team is going to continue to improve, and then everything will therefore improve.”

But then there’s this which many of us have said all along

The Mets did, however, see an 18 percent increase in concession revenue from a year ago, marking the first increase in that department since the stadium’s opening. That, experts said, indicated the Mets must have gotten more fans inside the ballpark at discounted prices, and once there, they spent money.

I have some new favorite quotes I will be using all winter.

“We certainly are not punting on 2013”

and now “our price to value is right where it should be.”

Opening Day tickets start at just $63.  Come see Duda, Kirk, Baxter, Dickey and the rest of the Mets!

There are two newborn Mets blogs for you to check out.

Summer In The Citi just bought season tickets, so we will follow along to see how that goes.

And MetsMama handed in this dark post…

Can crying baseball man replace Mr. Met as the official team mascot? I’m happy to report that if that is an actual self-portrait that it is faked because there were no real tears shed. We took our lumps and moved on.

While Summer is just getting rolling, I am intrigued by MetsMama because she’s taking a different approach to blogging about the Mets.  Cerrone and Rubin have the news covered…the trick is to find a different angle.
