If you are planning to travel to Citi Field today to catch some baseball, please don’t. For the first time since 1997, the Mets had their home opener postponed by inclement weather.
With the forecast calling for potentially intense thunderstorms around 3:00 p.m. or 4:00 p.m., the team chose to push their home opener back by one day rather than risk the game (and the expected sold out crowd) being inconvenienced by the rain. As a result, the Mets and the Marlins will kick off their three-game series on Friday afternoon at 1:10 p.
