The Final Tailgate Of 2026

by The 7 Line September 14, 2026

Welp, another season comes to an end and we're about to officially put this one in the books.

Come hang out before the final home game on Sunday September 20th. Whether you've sitting with us or not, you're still invited. Our whole goal since day 1 has been to bring fans together from all walks of life. If you're reading this... that's YOU.

The Mets will be taking on the Phillies to close out the season, and we'll be hanging out in the Marina West Lot before heading in to the seats. Swing by!

Howie Rose's Retirement Ceremony is before first pitch, and the Mets are encouraging everyone to be in their seats by 12:15pm. We'll wrap this one up by around 11:45am so we have plenty of time to make it on time.

CITI FIELD

MARINA WEST LOT

SEPTEMBER 20TH 2026

If you didn't hear, our pregame location has moved this season. We're very excited that Metropolitan Park has been green lit, but with that comes some rearranging in the interim. Short term adjustments for long term growth.

The Marina East Lot, our home for the last number of years, will not be used for fan parking in 2026. Instead of leaving us out to dry, the Mets dedicated the Marina West Lot to The 7 Line Army on our outing days.

Our T7LA Home Package Members have the option to purchase 100 parking spots in the Marina West Lot for each of our home games on a first come first serve basis. There are a small handful left as of right now. If all 100 spots don't pre-sell to members, or if additional spots open up, fans will be able to drive up and pay at the gate while space lasts.

So... if the prepaid spots do sell out, how can I get in the lot?

Carpool with a T7LA member that was able to secure one of the 100 spots! Toss them a few bucks for gas, buy them breakfast, promise them a tall boy in the ballpark. This would be your best option.
Take a ride share. Type 1 Marina Road Queens, NY or World’s Fair Marina Restaurant & Banquet if you're taking an Uber or Lyft.
Take the train and walk over.
Park in the Citi Field Lot C (look at the above map) and walk over.

Thank you to the Mets for working with us on this opportunity. They're also providing clean portapotties for each game. This is all very much appreciated.

Instead of entering Citi Field through the Bullpen Gate after the pregame, it's a shorter walk to the Left Field entrance. If you map it out, the walk is an almost identical distance. Might be a minute or two longer. You're welcome to walk around to the Bullpen Gate if you prefer, but that will add more time.
