The rice balls are always freshly fried and boast a winning lineup of fillings. For , they have classic meat ragu, pizza, taco, bianco verde with nut-free pesto , cinnamon-dusted Nutella. In my opinion, this stand is the one to line up for. And I cannot get over the smart to-go packaging: a 6-slot egg carton! Go with the nachos, laden with charred corn and bean relish, cotija, and fresh white queso—a much more generous portion for your money than the two miniature tacos that barely qualified as an appetizer.
The garlic Parmesan fries are generously seasoned indeed, but I do bemoan the loss of my beloved smoky bacon sauce that I used to dip them in. Located on both the field level [Section ] and Promenade level [Section ], this kiosk only sells beers brewed in New York state. Pretty great, huh? You can get some of the same options, along with a wider selection of beers and seltzers at the corporate-branded Coors stands at Taste of the City and the Promenade Plaza too, but I like seeking out this little kiosk and having something local.

Enders agrees that speeding up bag-check lines is indeed an important factor, though maybe not for the reasons one would hope: "Such congestion is dangerous since the crowd is vulnerable to an attack by those who do not have to go through any security whatsoever.
The most likely explanation for the bag policy shift, honestly, is that all the other kids are doing it. MLB had previously been one of the more laissez-faire sports leagues about bringing bags to games.
Madison Square Garden and the Barclays Center both allow most bags as well, though they ban bringing in your own food and beverages. In recent years, though, more baseball teams have begun to expand their bag bans, specifically targeting backpacks as unacceptable ballpark accessories. In , the St. The Nationals came under particular scrutiny by offering fans the chance to check their bags for a fee — and since the private bag-check firm would be searching these bags first, it effectively meant the team was happy to search all those nefarious backpack pockets, so long as it could make fans pay the salaries of those doing the searching.
Translation: We're cutting down on security costs. It's bad enough we pay for metal detectors. Importantly, what you can pack in your bag for a Mets game remains unchanged: pretty much anything other than alcoholic beverages, open liquid containers, weapons, or animals. Arancini Bros - tucked away in the Promenade Club behind Home Plate at the level, this stand serves the best kept secret in Citi Field: flavorful fried rice balls.

Easy to split and tons of fun, these are the best bite in the park. A broccoli and cheese stuffed rice ball from Arancini Bros. At this point, nearly every Major League team has some kind of variable pricing model where depending on how in-demand a game is, the ticket prices you'll pay at the gate may go up or down. So rather than focusing on specific prices and sections which tend to change fairly often, I want to talk about general rules and strategies for getting the best deals on tickets.
SeatGeek is a big time ticket comparison site that lets you compare a bunch of different ticket brokers, marketplaces, etc. They also have a tool that projects whether ticket prices will go up or down - AKA whether you should buy now or wait.
Click here to view Mets tickets on Seat Geek. If you've bought tickets online before, you've heard of StubHub. What you may not know however is that with the rise of print-at-home and tickets on your mobile phone via the Ballpark App that you can usually buy tickets right up to a couple of hours before game time.
It is easy to scan your phone at the main entrances, so skip printing your tickets altogether and just use the app to enter. As someone who has sold a fair share of tickets on StubHub, I also know that sellers are encouraged to set a declining price for their tickets. This means they'll set a starting price and then their lowest acceptable price, and StubHub will auto-magically lower the price of those tickets as the event date gets closer.
If you arrive at the park and there are no longer tickets for sale, check on StubHub and purchase online - you can just scan your phone at the gates and enter! So in many cases, a game that isn't sold out will have plenty of below face value deals on StubHub that you can snatch at the last minute and then either print at home, or just use the App on your phone to get scanned into the game.
Subway Series tickets against the NY Yankees are always the hottest of the season - via Flickr user r0sss. It's not to say that you can't find ticket deals on Craigslist, you can. It is just more of a peace of mind, safety issue. I'm a Craigslist kind of guy, but I also know it's easy to get screwed buying baseball tickets there.
Remember when I mentioned selling on StubHub? When you list tickets there, all you need to know is the barcode number from that ticket along with the other details on section, row, etc. If I was a shady character, I could go sell those void tickets to an unsuspecting buyer on Craigslist for cash. The tickets look real, they are "real" in a sense - but what that buyer will find out is when they go to enter the stadium, the ticket scanner will say "thou shalt not enter thy game.
Stick to buying tickets from SeatGeek , StubHub, or directly from the team. You can still get deals and you never have to worry about being scammed. Though banned by the park, they operate loudly and are hard to miss.
Make it a point to miss them, though, for all the reasons described above with Craig's list - you have no way of knowing if their tickets are legitimate. If you arrive at the park with no tickets, skip the scalpers and just buy last minute on StubHub, then scan your phone at the gate. The best way to save money on Citi Field tickets is to keep an eye out for sales and deals offered on the Mets team website - there are often large promotions during the dog days of August and September, especially if the team is not in Postseason contention.
Once you get in the park, there are a number of ways to get more bang for your buck. If you buy bargain tickets, particularly in the level outfield sections, it is actually better to camp out at the many "standing room only" areas that offer outstanding views of the field level. Locals know to camp out behind sections on the first base side and along the Shea bridge behind section The view from the Coca-Cola Corner at the level by first base is also great for the price of entry.
There are also some great ways to stretch your tickets: once you are in the level seats, you can easily move forward and toward home plate without much fuss. Wait until the second or third inning and move forward.
