Going to the Game in 2016

[Chad ochoseis]

Yes, we're only ten days away from real beisbol.

I'll be wearing my Mets duds to Progressive Field on April 15th (sec 130, lower box in short right field). If I don't get my ass kicked that day by roving hordes of Indians fans, I'll wash those duds and wear them again on April 16 (sec 169, lower box in very short left).

"Progressive Field?"

I didn't realize that it's no longer Jacobs Field.

Oh well. At least it once had a non-corporate name, so fans can opt to call it by a name other than one from a paid sponsor.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Home Opener and The Piazza Game are only ones's scheduled for me
as of now. We should plan a forum game this summer.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I'll be there most but not all Tuesday nights in the Prom.

Our family roadtrip has shifted a bunch of times but the current target is St. Louis in August. I'm gonna be a complete DICK out there.

[TransMonk]

I'll be with the 7 Line Army in Milwaukee on 06/11/16 (as well as attending the games on both sides of that one).

[Guest themetfairy]

April 8, April 13, April 30, May 21, May 28 and July 30th.

So far. And probably a game our two in Philly, but we haven't planned that far yet.

Plus the B-Mets in Trenton for a game or two over Father's Day Weekend (their only trip to Trenton this season).

[Benjamin Grimm]

At this point I have no plans. I expect I'll be making the trip to see a weekend game in May or June. I tend to get to an average of one Mets home game per year, and sometimes I catch a road game. (2014 was a big year for me, by recent standards. One game at Citi Field, and four Mets road games, two in Pittsburgh and two in Seattle.)

still annoyed I missed the ticket on-sale date and don't have OPening Day tickets and cheapest on stub hub is 100

I still call it Jacobs Field too

[Guest themetfairy]

I forgot - we already have our tickets for the final home game of the regular season.

I think many Tribe fans still call it "The Jake".

[Lefty Specialist]

Going to see Mets/Chisox on Memorial Day, 5/30. We'll probably go to a few more, but that's the only one we've firmed up yet.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Piazza Day, the June 22nd getaway day, and working on some April/May-age.

[Ceetar]

Officially going to Opening Day at the low low price of $85.50. bleh. That's premier dynamic pricing for you. that's the cheapest section atm and Stub Hub is still at least $10 more than that.

Getting push back on bringing the little one though.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Thanks to The Diamond Knights I've added 04/13 and 05/21 to my early
season action. One week 'til Home Opener!!

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

I'm excited that I'll potentially get to see the Mets at least three times this year! A combination of playing the AL Central teams and some nice weekend scheduling is a big help.

We'll be at that Saturday Cleveland at Progressive -- which is actually a very, very nice ballpark.

Then, we'll be at one of the Milwaukee games. I like that ballpark, too.

And, I'll hit at least one of the Detroit games, no matter what day of the week.

In the non-Mets game variety, I'm helping my parents in Florida for a little bit. Just missing all the spring training action, which is a bummer. But we're going to the Marlins home opener on Tuesday.

And, we have a nice state announcement to make next Sunday at Comerica. Good stuff.

My daughter wants to see Washington, DC sometime this summer. I'll plan that trip around a game, but don't know if we can catch the Mets.

Lots of new stamps for my MLB Pass-Port!

Would love to catch up with any Crane Poolers at any of the Mets games.

[Fman99]

Fboy and I will be attending some matinee at some point this year. Fgirl wants to make a trip as well, she has not ever been to the Citi. Probably that's two separate trips.

[Ceetar]

I'm now also going Saturday the 9th too. two home games in a row (well, 3 really)

[Guest d'Kong76]

Feeling spoiled, just got an suite invite to Tues game vs Redlegs. It's
a Dog Game, I'm guessing Kasper's not welcome on the Empire level.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Nice. I break the seal on 2016 that night too but Promenade for us.

Forecast not terribly bright for Tuesday...

[Guest themetfairy]

Due to a conflict in MK's schedule he won't be able to join us for the Syndergnome game on Saturday. If anyone wants to purchase his ticket, send me a message.

[Guest d'Kong76]

So we were misinformed about last night's exciting win. We ended up
getting tickets to The Hyundai Club which pretty decent but the seats
were outside (sweet location, close but just high enough so that you
can really see everything) but we were a little under-dressed. We had
access to a decent free spread and soft drinks and a cash bar. And heat.
These tickets were complimentary but it looks like we might be able to
buy 2 or 4 tickets from this guy from time to time.

sorry, I wasn't really paying attention or I could've told you that. the Hyundai Club is that jutted out section just to the left or right of the Wilpon boxes behind home plate right? I think I peeked in there for the St. Johns game before they limited club access and it was still called the Champions Club. seemed like a pretty tiny place, but nice vantage point for the game .

[Guest d'Kong76]

Thanks, I just meant we were told Empire but ended up in Hyundai so
we didn't dress for football conditions!

[Guest cooby classic]

Going to Pittsburgh to see the Pirates and Dodgers later, on what I think is my birthday.

Not the Mets, but school is still going on when the Mets are there

[Lefty Specialist]

Snagged 300 level seats for this Friday night for Free Shirt Friday; a shirt that says 'League Champions' instead of 'National League Champions'.

[Fman99]

Narrowed down the dates on my annual weekday matinee sojourn to the City with Fboy. One of these dates, most likely.

Wed July 6th 1:10 vs MIA
Thurs July 28th 1:10 vs COL
Thurs Aug 11th 12:10 vs ARZ

[Theoldmole]

My first...and maybe only game of the season. Tuesday, Nationals.
