The Mets will probably be Mathematically eliminated from the playoffs by then so there should be a general malaise around Citi Field.

I had some family that went to Shea and they were respectful and got the occasional light taunting when the Mets did something good, but unless you’re wearing a John Rocker jersey, you and your lady should be fine.

Well, I live in NY, and go to a couple games at Citi/Shea a year, completely decked out in Braves gear. Ive never had a problem. I mean, of coarse there are always Mets fans that will Boo you, or say “Braves suck” as you pass them, but its not that bad. You gotta expect a little ribbing, but you wont be the only guy in Braves gear at a Mets Braves game, i can assure you that. Your not gonna get beat up or mugged or some other NY stereotype.

I wore my McCann jersey twice to Citifield last year, once with my brother and once with my now ex girlfriend, took the train to and from the stadium, and never had a problem. I don’t know if being 6’3" 235 had anything to do with it though.

If you’re in the cheap seats there tend to be more young, roudy, drunken roustabouts. Yup, roustabouts. You gotta represent though.

when i moved here i heard a bunch of horror stories and thought i might not get to see as many games as i wanted to as well. The first time i went to shea i went with a girl who was a mets fan and i got a little shit, but not as much as she did(whoops). Most of the horror stories i heard were from riding the 7 train to the game, but it couldnt be the opposite there are usually a handful of others also wearing braves gear too, and everybody on the train treats it like any other mta ride and mind themselves. After the first game ive gone with my current girlfriend who I introduced to the Braves, and i have yet to have another thing said, shea or citi field. in my experience going to a dodger game at Chavez was far worse. i think as long as you pay more than 30 bucks for a ticket, which is pretty low for city you will have little to nothing said to you at all.

My old college roommate and I went to the first game at New Yankee Stadium. It was an exhibition against the Cubs. Roommate was decked out in Cubs gear, I was decked out in Braves gear. At first we had some qualms about being the loud a-holes we wanted to be, but everyone around us in the bleachers was there to have a good time and were happy to have road fans to heckle with. Best time I’ve ever had at a ballgame. We gave them shit, they gave it back, we all laughed and it was all in good fun. If yelling “Derek Jeter Sucks!” in the bleachers at Yankee doesn’t illicit any more than witty banter, I can’t imagine Braves gear at Citi would be much of a problem.

Don’t worry about wearing Braves gear at Citi Field Dump. I went to a game last year in my Hanson shirt and a Braves cap. I’m not the biggest guy, and thankfully I didn’t get anything bad. Look, you’re going to most likely get some heckling, its a rivalry and most likely some drunkards. I did get some heckling, but not much. The Mets don’t tolerate people beating other people up- I know for a fact that they’ve kicked people out before. Bottom line, go in all out Braves gear and be proud. I know I’m going in August and I’ll go in my Hanson shirt and cap again.

I watched Mets fans get bloodied and arrested in Philadelphia, and people were picking fights with me for wearing a Braves hat, and they weren’t even playing.

I have gone to more met games than I can count over the past 4 years. I am ALWAYS obnoxiously rooting for the opposition. When the Braves are in town I come with Mac Jersey and Braves hat. No Mets fan has ever said shit to me. In fact, CitiField fans are even less passionate than Shea fans. I saw a guy reading a book during a game once, no lie. U have NOTHING to worry about. Just dont fuck with security. I got kicked out for saying the F word to one of them. I went “Okay, heres my fuckin ticket.” He kicked me out… they were 200 seats… fml. But yeah, the fans wont do shit.
