No, the Mets won’t be filling the Citi Field seats with stuffed animals. They have another idea in mind.
According to the Mets website, season-ticket holders who renew their 2021 packages can have cardboard cutouts of themselves in the stands during home games. Other fans will likely be able to pay to have their cutouts there as well.
All proceeds from the cutout purchases will be going to the Mets Foundation COVID-19 Relief Fund.
On these cardboard cutouts, fans will only be allowed to use an image that has none of the following:
- No hashtags, social media or phone numbers
- No offensive language
- No MLB player names
- No negative references toward any MLB team
- No advertisements or branding
- No political statements or endorsements
