Citi field

The Mets recently showed off new cuisine and more in a preseason media gaggle, complete with a tasting menu.

Wait a minute, Shaq still plays music?!?

It's impossible to overstate how crowded it felt at times in the Citi Field parking lot.

If you're going this weekend, here's what you need to know about the new venue at Citi Field.

Every year on July 1st, starting in 2011 and running through 2035, the former Mets player receives a check for $1,193,248.20 from the team as part of a deferred deal he made with the club in 2000.

The Mets & Yankees are allowed to go to 100% capacity for fully vaccinated fans in certain sections, while also keeping part of their stadiums reserved for unvaccinated fans at 33% capacity.

Music festivals are (probably) back, baby.

Mayor de Blasio said future appointments could be booked onsite, but a staff member said they lacked access to the booking system.

The field was left empty with just a Black Lives Matter shirt draped over home plate.

'Simply banning backpacks allows for the entry of weapons that can be hidden in a purse, briefcase, or computer case,' says University of Alabama security expert Walter Enders. 'Size is not really an issue.'

Visitors are encouraged to enjoy the food, and digest the culture.

On April 28 and 29 more than 100 food vendors will set up shop in the Citi Field parking lot.
