Going to the Game 2018
| Mets Willets Point Dec 16 2017 06:38 PM |

Got tickets to take the kids to see the Mets play the Red Sox at Fenway Park on Friday, September 14. Hopefully both teams will have big leads in first place of their respective divisions by that time so that it won't matter so much who wins and who loses.

As per our usual routine, eyeballing summer weekday matinees as a one day, there and back trip with the kiddos. Right now there are three choices and I am more inclined to pick one of the earlier two.

So it looks like the first week in April is my last week on LI -- so what say we all take in a game opening weekend? Cheap seats on Saturday 3/31 or Sunday 4/1, anybody? (Yes, I know it's Easter, but my family is 400 miles away, so I'm pretty wide open.)

Dammit. I would have loved to take you up on that but I'll be in Texas. We are going to visit the Rangers and Astros while there.

The Buckets will be in West Palm Friday, Jupiter Saturday and PSL Sunday. Expecting to run into our man bfmc in 2 of those locales

It's bmfc, dammit, not bfmc. Nevertheless, yes I will be taking a break from the excitement of Boynton Beach to see players wearing the Mets uniform play at Houston on Friday (split squad) and at Miami on Saturday.

You need a more exciting and memorable handle. I don't even know what bfcm means

big freaking mets cupcake. I have a friend living in a retirement community in Boynton Beach actually.

I always conflate it with something that "sucks bhmc." I don't know if this is a related acronym.

Currently browsing 3/31 tickets (first Saturday, 1:10 pm). Should be a Jake Day, no? Anyone going?

Yes, I want to go to both games that weekend, but have no current plans yet.

I'll be in the upper deck somewhere hoping it's not too cold, as I prefer ballpark beer to ballpark hot chocolate.

check this space for beer after Opening Day ;-)

| Fman99 Apr 03 2018 03:34 PM Re: Going to the Game 2018 |

Looks like July 25 matinee is the day (Fgirl is at camp for the Aug 8 game, and Aug 23 is the first day of the NYS Fair so I'll be there that day).
|
| d'Kong76 Apr 03 2018 05:59 PM Re: Going to the Game 2018 |

Hope it warms up by July. Count me in for continuous row/seat matinee action!
|
| Fman99 Apr 03 2018 06:01 PM Re: Going to the Game 2018 |

Cool deal, I'll give it a few more days to see if anyone else is on board and if not get us a 5 pack for that day.
|
| Fman99 May 05 2018 02:03 AM Re: Going to the Game 2018 |

Last chance to get in on the Fman family bandwagon, going to buy tickets for this on Monday, for Metfairy (not CPF'ing but still loving her Mets), KC, and the Fkids and I (and possibly Fwife depending on her work schedule). Any other takers, let me know, I can cover cost of tickets for reimbursement between now and then.

After tonight's fiasco, I really have to question the sanity of making this trip, but my son and I will be attending the Saturday, July 14th game against Nationals. Contemplating taking in the Sunday afternoon game as well, but we'll decide that as the date gets closer.

I'll be in Denver next week, so I bought a seat for the Thursday gay dame against the Rox.

Weirdly we will also be in Denver next weekend but on a tight schedule for a wedding and not likely to get to a game.

Anybody wondering when to visit the Baltimore/DC area? Well, how about July 23-25?! That's when the Binghamton Rumble Ponies are playing the Bowie Baysox!

Who is Tim Tebow?

The Mets are winless in the last 11 games I’ve attended.

They have kinda sucked last year and this, you're probably free of any culpability.

My son and I have tickets (Section 421) for the Saturday, July 14 @ 4:10 PM game against the Nationals. After we get settled into our room on Friday, we plan to take the train into Penn Station. We plan to grab some dinner then have a few beers while hopefully watching the Mets game on TV.
|
| Fman99 Jul 03 2018 03:17 PM Re: Going to the Game 2018 |

Tickets bought, for the Fman family, plus KC and MF, we will be in Excelsior Box 312 on Wednesday July 25th for a 12:10 matinee against the Padres. Swing by and say hello! It will be Fwife's first trip to the Citi.
|
| d'Kong76 Jul 03 2018 03:24 PM Re: Going to the Game 2018 |

So, by loose calculations they should be riding a fifteen-game winning streak!

Something French, maybe?
|
| Rockin' Doc Jul 04 2018 01:05 PM Re: Going to the Game 2018 |

We are open to suggestions. We like food of various cuisines (Greek, German, Italian, Mexican, and Thai) and cultures. Not very familiar with French restaurants, simply because there aren't many near us (Raleigh) and they are often upscale. We are just looking for good food in a casual atmosphere as we plan to do some walking around before and after dinner. If you know of a casual French restaurant we would be willing to give it a shot. We are open to any suggestions you could provide us.

Alas, I won't be in DC until August 14-18 for a conference. I'm going to finally check out Nationals Park while I'm there, but not when the Mets will be visiting.

Awesome! Looking forward to seeing you again. We plan to get to CitiField around 1:30 to have a few beers and take in the atmosphere. What is the best lot to park/tailgate in? My son is pretty excited about this trip. He is looking forward to his first trip to CitiField. His only trip to Shea was for the infamous MOFO picnic in August 2001. He was at the CPF road trip to RFK a few years later.

We're going on Sunday. For some reason. (That reason comprised mostly of the fact the occasion of my infant nephew's first bawwgame.)

| John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 11 2018 02:58 PM Re: Going to the Game 2018 |

i just got roped into attending this Friday's game. Three Mets games in a week is a lot, but three Mets games THIS week is some kind of torture

| LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 11 2018 03:05 PM Re: Going to the Game 2018 |

Yeah. I have a (MFY fan) friend in from out of town, and I'm trying to talk him OUT of going to the game tomorrow.
Oh, I just noticed it was Bastille Day and was just being... something. Kang Ho Dong and Jong Gro (sp?) are good Korean BBQ joints in midtown... Her Name Is Han is an interesting Korean joint with some tasty, inventive takes on staples if you're up for NON-tableside-grill Korean. If you're willing t wander JUST a little more, Atoboy (on 29th, IIRC) does some kickass small-plates Korean stuff, all chef-ified and surprisingly affordable.

d'Kong, I got your PM. Hard to believe, but I had your cell number in my phone from years ago. I just wasn't sure it was still correct. Let me know if you received my PM reply (I seem to have problems sending messages and replies). If you didn't receive it, I can text my cell # to you.

As I told these guys, I will not be able to make this game on Wednesday. If anyone can use my ticket (on me, since it's short notice) PM your email address and I'll forward the print-at-home .pdf of the ticket. First come, first served...

Tim Tebow hits the DL JUST as the Ponies are coming to town. There goes my trip to Bowie! No reason unless I wanna go see real prospects.
