New York Mets Tickets

The New York Mets are a professional baseball team based in Flushing, Queens, New York City, New York. The Mets are a member of the Eastern Division of Major League Baseball's National League. The Mets played home games in the Polo Grounds from 1962 to 1963. The Club moved into Shea Stadium in 1964, where they played until 2008. In 2009, they will move into Citi Field, located adjacent to the old Shea Stadium site. The original Mets were the New York Metropolitans, an 1880s baseball club. An expansion franchise, the club was founded in Manhattan in 1960, to begin play in 1962. The Mets came into existence to replace New York's two previous National League teams, the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants, when these clubs left for California. Beginning play in the historic Polo Grounds, the Mets shared the venue with the New York Jets for two years, until Shea was completed.
