Mets 9 9 9 Challenge

 




For me I see a few things wrong with this. The whole challenge started by fans in other ballparks and then adopted by actual team concession stands were for full hot dogs and full beers and not what looks like shrunk down versions of the beer and the dogs. I can only imagine what they want to charge for this. I guess they are hoping 2-3 fans split this and buy a few of these during the game between each other.

My other problem with this is promoting heavy drinking. Even though this is a appears to be smaller serving versions of what they sell beer wise, you know there is going to be some knucklehead that tries to do two or three of these boxes during the game just to show off. Do I have anything against folks enjoying adult beverages? Nope. But in moderation is the key. 

Oh well. Let's see how this goes.

What are the Mets doing at Queens Center Mall?


What do you folks think this is? New Mets Store in Queens Center Mall? Some sort of Mets Activation? What says you? 



 

Mets: Shuttles From Malls


 

Shuttle Information

New in 2026: Drive to your local mall, park your car, and leave the rest of the drive to us

A new Citi Field Direct Shuttle service will operate from designated off-site parking areas on Long Island, New Jersey, and Bronx/Westchester, offering convenient, comfortable, and low-cost coach bus rides directly to Citi Field.

All shuttles are comfortable and climate-controlled coach buses. Two buses from each location will make the trip between your location and the Citi Field Bus Lot, just a short walk from the Left Field Gate.

Purchase your shuttle bus tickets in advance for the low price of $8/person, $22/family 4-pack.

Each mall will have its own free or reduced cost Mets parking area. Factoring in traffic, buses are planned to arrive at Citi Field when gates open.

After games, all buses will leave 30 minutes after the final out.

For more information about the Citi Field Direct shuttle program, please see FAQs here.





I wonder if this is something that is going to keep up after all the construction is done in a. few years. We went from the Wilpons wanting to build two malls at Citi Field to the Mets using malls as parking to get to Citi Field.
