Mets Opening Day 2021 For The 7 Line Army

by Darren Meenan March 18, 2021

Thanks for your patience so far!

As you might imagine, we've been getting hit up daily by fans asking what's up for Opening Day. Unfortunately we had no answers, but since the Governor announced that both Citi Field and Yankee Stadium can fill 20% of their capacity, we finally have details to share.

Baseball is coming back!

The @Yankees & @Mets will start the baseball season with fans in the stands.

Professional sports in large outdoor stadiums can reopen at 20% capacity beginning 4/1.

The 7 Line Army has been holding down center field every Opening Day (last year as cutouts) since 2013, and the tradition will live on! Of course the seats will be limited, but at this rate some is better than none.

For entry, you'll need to show proof of full vaccination, or a negative covid test.

The Big Apple Reserve holds just under 860 seats, and 602 of those seats were renewed by The 7 Line Army's 10 game package holders.

Like we stated during the renewal process, the fans who renewed earliest will have the first crack at Opening Day tickets. The Mets are putting a list together now based on renewal timing and the available seat total. We'll reach out to those fans soon about their potential access to these tickets.

The 7 Line Army ticket holders will have pre-sale access to limited Big Apple Reserved inventory for Opening Day.
Pre-sale is scheduled for March 30^th, more details to come.
Inventory will be in pod format with each pod location being separated from other pods by at least six feet
Pods must be purchased in their entirety
Ticket access is based on availability, no one is guaranteed seats
Any credit from April games not consumed during this pre-sale will remain on members accounts and can be used towards tickets during the 2021 or 2022 season. More details at mets.com/2021updates.

T7LA Members that miss out on Opening Day, or just opt to not go, will have first crack for the second game on The 7 Line Army's schedule. That one is scheduled for Saturday April 24th vs the Nationals.

Hopefully by May the capacity % will rise, and more fans can be accommodated per game.

Of course this isn't ideal, but a step in the right direction!
