    I'm waiting on a friend who gets group tickets. If that falls through I'll go e-Bay or stubhub.

    I was at the 1970 Opening Day. It was so cold I had to stop keeping score in the seventh inning. I couldn't hold the pencil

    Have fun all of those who are going, I would assume that Santana is pitching, correct?


    I've got tickets to Mariners Opening Day, as I am interested to see how Bedard pitches, and even if you don't care for either of the teams playing Opening Day is always fun.

    I may have to see the Subway Series at Shea this season.

    When do Mets home game Single Game tickets go on sale to the General Public?

    I'll be there, drinking under the Whitestone Expwy by 8am. Assuming Johan starts the season opener in Miami, he won't be lined up to start the home opener. But Pedro will.

    i think the mets may start the season using a 4 man rotation.
    then we will see oliver perez.if they use a 5 man roto,than yes,it is Pedro.

    They will let you exit and re-enter at Gate C for smoking. Both my plans this year are way down the lines though, so I've decided to take up dipping.

    gate c is behind home plate 4 levels down from me.it would take 30 minutes to go smoke and get back to your seat.
