The Mets Police: New York Mets Attendance Down 826,000+

New York Mets Attendance Down 826,000+

USA Today has an article about 2009 attendance.

The New York Mets, whose new ballpark has 14,000 fewer seats than Shea Stadium, have drawn 826,241 fewer fans.

I'm bad at math, but in a world of 78 sellouts at Shea and 78 sellouts at Citi (three home games left, correct) you would expect to have 1,092,000 fewer fans so far. (14,000 times 78).

So therefore I guess being down "only" 826k is "good?"

Help me out math majors...

Does anyone know where we can find turnstile counts? I'd love to see that data.

keep up the good work, copper!

you're gonna have a fun off-season, with all
the changes the skillsets have in store for them.

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!
