This is going over some Mets Fans heads
You can read the comments for yourselves in this. I myself stated that Mrs Met for the Mascot Hall of Fame but he social media accounts have been taken away. WHY?
Why have they been taken away? It seems in my opinion that these new corporate folks being brought in are trying to do things that don't make sense. Maybe Mrs Met on here on X or Insta could be promoting herself for the HOF. Maybe then the Mets Accounts, Mr Mets accounts and Mrs Mets accounts would all be able to help push her for the win.
Someone in the comments said" She is just felt." Fair enough but I am looking deeper into this. Look at the closing of the bathrooms and concessions. Look at tickets are selling. Sunday night I heard there were leftover tumblers up the wazoo. Look what the new ticket people are doing to the fans with the tier loyalty system that makes absolutely no sense. I have a friend who was talking to me over the weekend and they are one of the most die hard fans that I have ever met and she is fed up. She is so fed up to the point that she and her significant other might not renew their seats for next season. What does that tell you about how the Mets organization is conducting its business. It is the small things that become the bigger things that you have to worry about..

Why are the Mets getting rid of Mrs Mets twitter/X
Why are the Mets consolidating accounts? Are they trying to maximize the views and followers to streamline where they push their product? I have no clue what they are trying to do but there are some funny responses to it.

@Metspolice asked me about the Mets layoffs
He hired folks from the financial sector, Nike, Amex, JetBlue, all who don’t get the fan experiences of a baseball game or that the “feel” of the team/ballpark is “alive” and changes. Bathrooms/concessions closed. Ticket plan holders who have tenure that don’t spend enough…

Layoffs at Citi Field. New Mets Museum Curator part of it.
You know everyone is trying to figure out what happened to the Mets Museum at Citi Field and how the Mets hired a new Curator for the Museum? Well it sounds like the curator was let go in a round of layoffs at the ballpark last week. What is that going to say about what becomes of this museum?
A) it sucks when anyone is let go especially after you get brought into curate and ran a museum and then that museum gets halved.
B) What is really going on behind the scenes over at Citi Field? I've told you guys that i have had a feeling about the vibes over there being off.
