I'm not going myself. But, if anyone wants a copy of this, there is a nice easy "Forward this to a friend" button, so PM me your email address.

Or just register for email from Mets.com. I get about one spam email a day.

I'm always weary about these things, how early do you actually have to get there if you expect to get in?

[Elster88]

True enough. I've never done it before. I printed out the whole email, that was all the info they gave.

[Gwreck]

I last did this in the spring of 2003. It was a cool night, Cone started and Eric Gagne broke Burnitz' hand with a pitch.

Back then, I showed up at maybe 6:00.

With the team playing like they do, and the opponent the Braves...I'd say 5:15, but that's an unscientific opinion.

[Guest Bret Sabermetric]

My daughter and I showed up at around 5;30 last season, and were fans #s 1003 and 1004. We walked home.

I'd show up at noon this year, given the publicity and the opponent.

Actually I wouldn't show up at all.

[Guest KC]

Didn't the Pepsi promo invite 3,000 fans when they did it? I'm thinking the
bleachers don't look 3,000 people big but for some reason I'm thinking 3,000.

[Guest Bret Sabermetric]

Nope, they cut me and Jenny off at 1000.

[Guest KC]

I wasn't really questioning your memory but more mine and if the place holds
more why are they only inviting 1,000. No way those aluminum baking sheets
hold 3,000 anyways.

[Guest SI Metman]

I got the e-mail as well. I have a halfday at work on Tuesday, so I'm thinking about doing it. I'll probably show up around 5.
