Going to the Game in 2016

[TransMonk]

Three more weeks...

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

The Buckets intend to be there today, but have a little league game first and might miss the beginning. I know.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

little league canceled! woohoo!!!

[Guest cooby]

Okay I read this today in church (!) Did the buckets go to the game?

[Guest d'Kong76]

The next game I have tickets for is The Piazza Game on 7/30. I need to make it
in June once or twice too. We should have some kind of meet-up before The Piazza
Game. Beers in bags on Roosevelt Ave, McF's, Irish bar in Woodside... something.

D-Dad and I have one extra ticket for this Saturday's 1986 Reunion game. If anyone is interested in purchasing our spare, send me a message.

Locked in for my annual weekday matinee, going to be attending the Thursday 7/28 Mets v Rockies 1:10 game with Fboy and my buddy Kevin, also a life long Mets fan.

Any CPF'er who wants to meet up for a howdy, please shoot me a PM or a FB message and I will buy you a beer at the ball park.

[Guest themetfairy]

I wish I could - I won't be available that day.

But I just received a kind offer to attend this Thursday night's game (6/16), if anyone is going to be there!

Sorry to hear that.

There's a chance that we also pick a Sunday matinee and drive down, maybe in August sometime. I will let you know.

I can do Sunday August 14th if that's the day you choose (I have a wedding to attend on the 28th). I hope we can coordinate!

Looks like I'm going to come down with a nasty headache that morning that won't allow me to go to work.

I'm prone to migraines myself.

Looks like I'm skipping work for a high Colonic (with YoungerPooper, a visiting college buddy and his little one) next Wednesday.

I am attending a concert the evening of 8/14 so that's likely not the date we'd be going.

I haven't gotten a ticket yet, but that Wed afternoon game against
the Royals next week is barking at me to attend...

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I intend to be at Monday's Cubs-Cardinals game, apropos of nothing, biz-tripping

[Lefty Specialist]

Wow, got tickets from a vendor for 7/30- Mike's number 31 getting retired. But oh, the irony- we'll be in section 134, one of the few places where you won't be able to see it directly as we'll be right behind the numbers by the [crossout:13t8prh0]Party City[/crossout:13t8prh0] M&M's deck.

[seawolf17]

Going to the game today, apparently -- father's day gift from the kiddos. Score!

[Guest d'Kong76]

That's a cool present to wake up to!

[metsmarathon]

I'm at the game today. Happy Father's Day to all the fathers and kids out there. And to all the mothers that helped make it happen.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Got a cheapie for Wed matinee. Gonna do the wandering-around-ballpark-
with-Howie thing.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Went the opposite route for Wednesday, as I'm taking a buddy and his kid for their CitiField debuts (along with YoungerPooper)-- Field Level for less than fitty! (Thanks, daygame Stubhub!)

[Guest d'Kong76]

I'll keep an eye out for ya!

I bought mine on viagogo.com -- first time using that site and quite a bit cheaper than Schlub Hub or Mets.com. Got 3 upper deck infield seats for $63, including all fees and surcharges. Cheaper than the face value of the tickets, in fact.

Along the RF line some'eres, unless we're hanging out near a family bathroom (his kid is just about 2).

[Guest cooby]

What do you do on a Saturday night when your hotel is a block from the ball field and you have nothing to do? Go to another game!

This time we will be behind home plate. I think the game is on ESPN since its at 8 so watch for us. I think I'll have on a sky blue shirt and hubby a pirates shirt.

[Guest themetfairy]

Cool - wave wildly to the camera!

[Guest cooby]

86 degree night game. Holy cats!

[Fman99]

Will be there with Fboy on Thursday and another buddy of mine who is a big Mets fan. Up in 508, if you're going to be there, give me a shout out so we can have some beers and talk about our lady-feelings. Send me a PM here or on Facebook to let me know...

Also, because I live upstate and don't know the answer, my buddy is riding down with us and then planning on taking the train into Manhattan to meet his family for a long weekend -- can he just walk up to the 7 train gate (it is the 7, right?) after the game and buy his ticket, and walk on there with a suitcase? Or does he need to buy his ticket in advance, or is there an advantage to doing so?

I don't know the trains well enough to be able to say -- aside from taking the Metro North in and out of Manhattan from Poughkeepsie, I have not ever ridden in or out of the city on a subway.
