Mets Issue Subway Series Travel Advisory

 

Dear Mets Fans,    Please be advised there is a potential strike of the Long Island Rail Road that would go into effect on Saturday, May 16. This would result in disruptions to travel to and from Citi Field for the Mets vs. Yankees games on Saturday, May 16 and Sunday, May 17. We strongly recommend all fans monitor the situation closely and plan accordingly prior to traveling to Citi Field.    As a reminder, the Mets offer several alternative transportation options to Citi Field, with more ways than ever to get to the ballpark.    In the event of a Long Island Rail Road strike during the Subway Series on May 16-17, please review the transportation options below based on your location.
