Court Upholds Willets Point Redevelopment Plan (Times)

Interesting development hidden in the holiday news cycle.....I wonder if we'll see the 126th Street Islanders some day...heck at this point maybe even the Nets. I'd just be happy to have acool bar to hang at before/after the Mets game.

Although the city neglected the neighborhood's infrastructure for decades, the constitutional rights of the businesses there -- many of which will be forced to relocate under the plan -- were not violated, a federal judge found.

I'm really looking forward to having nightlife around Citi Field. I think the bullpen entrance is a really cool area, and is lost because of the dumpy area back there. What would be better than a pennant race game in September, filing out of Citi Field after a win and watching the competition lose ina roaring bar full of Mets fans afterwards?

I'd love if the Islanders moved there. I think I might even be leaning towards hoping for that over the lighthouse project these days.

If You're Visiting For The First Time

If you are visiting The Mets Police for the first time, welcome.

This blog aims to be a little different. We're less likely to complain about a pitching change than we are likely to complain about what the pitcher was wearing.

We're about Mets history and tradition. We'd like to see a Seaver statue at Citi Field. We'd like the black uniforms to go away. We'd like the team to always treat the fans with respect.

We're just regular old Mets fans like you who have migrated from the uppers to the Promenade where we were saddened when we found plexiglass. Finally, for all our complaining we just want the franchise to win the World Series (while nicely dressed).

The site is updated several times a day, usually morning, noon, and night (cliche but true) with other items as they come in.

Mets Police in no way claims to be news nor accurate, including anything to which we link. It's just a blog. Read the blog and/or take our advice at your own risk.

We strongly encourage everyone to support the New York Mets and their business partners, just don't wear a black jersey while doing so.

Welcome!
