After the lockout, spring training and a season-opening road trip that was unusual in that it included seven games in seven days, the Mets finally are home.
Citi Field’s Opening Day will be special for a few reasons. For starters, this will be the first time this year the Mets play in a full ballpark. That wasn’t the case any of the days or nights in Washington or Philadelphia.

This event is open to the public, even those who don’t have tickets to the game. It also will be aired live on SNY.
