Going to the Game 2018

[Guest Mets Willets Point]

Got tickets to take the kids to see the Mets play the Red Sox at Fenway Park on Friday, September 14. Hopefully both teams will have big leads in first place of their respective divisions by that time so that it won't matter so much who wins and who loses.

As per our usual routine, eyeballing summer weekday matinees as a one day, there and back trip with the kiddos. Right now there are three choices and I am more inclined to pick one of the earlier two.

Wed Jul 25 12:10 vs SD
Weg Aug 8 12:10 vs CIN
Thu Aug 23 1:10 vs SF

As per years past, would happy to coordinate with Metfairy, d'Kong or anyone else who's available on one of those first two days for a meet up. We sat in the 200 level last year and those seats were pretty sweet. Though we like the upper deck, too, as long as we're on the infield.

So it looks like the first week in April is my last week on LI -- so what say we all take in a game opening weekend? Cheap seats on Saturday 3/31 or Sunday 4/1, anybody? (Yes, I know it's Easter, but my family is 400 miles away, so I'm pretty wide open.)

Dammit. I would have loved to take you up on that but I'll be in Texas. We are going to visit the Rangers and Astros while there.

The Buckets will be in West Palm Friday, Jupiter Saturday and PSL Sunday. Expecting to run into our man bfmc in 2 of those locales

It's bmfc, dammit, not bfmc. Nevertheless, yes I will be taking a break from the excitement of Boynton Beach to see players wearing the Mets uniform play at Houston on Friday (split squad) and at Miami on Saturday.

You need a more exciting and memorable handle. I don't even know what bfcm means

big freaking mets cupcake.


I have a friend living in a retirement community in Boynton Beach actually.

[Fman99]

I always conflate it with something that "sucks bhmc." I don't know if this is a related acronym.

Give G-Fafif a prize!

[G-Fafif]

I assume bmfc1 was chosen because IfIWereBobCarpenter wouldn't register.

[bmfc1]

Take away G-Fafif's prize!

Yeah, I always conflate it with the acronym for big hairy moose cock too.

Currently browsing 3/31 tickets (first Saturday, 1:10 pm). Should be a Jake Day, no? Anyone going?

Yes, I want to go to both games that weekend, but have no current plans yet.

[Lefty Specialist]

I'll be in the upper deck somewhere hoping it's not too cold, as I prefer ballpark beer to ballpark hot chocolate.

check this space for beer after Opening Day ;-)

[Fman99]

Looks like July 25 matinee is the day (Fgirl is at camp for the Aug 8 game, and Aug 23 is the first day of the NYS Fair so I'll be there that day).

I'll be bringing both kids and meeting with Metfairy (confirmed via email) and any other parties interested in sitting with us (I know KC showed interest earlier in the thread). Likely to get a block in the 300 section again as we liked the club access, A/C, shorter bathroom lines, etc.

Can make plans to buy a continuous row or seats in two rows adjacent to each other for maximum schmoozing mid game and allow folks I know to reimburse me via Paypal, Cash app, or whatever. Let me know via private message, here, email, Twitter, Instagram or your favorite archaic communication format if you're coming along.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Hope it warms up by July. Count me in for continuous row/seat matinee action!

[Fman99]

Cool deal, I'll give it a few more days to see if anyone else is on board and if not get us a 5 pack for that day.

[Fman99]

Last chance to get in on the Fman family bandwagon, going to buy tickets for this on Monday, for Metfairy (not CPF'ing but still loving her Mets), KC, and the Fkids and I (and possibly Fwife depending on her work schedule). Any other takers, let me know, I can cover cost of tickets for reimbursement between now and then.

Taking my son to his first Mets game on Star Wars night 5/19!
