On Thursday the New York Mets showcased an exclusive first look at what’s to come in the 2022-23 season. Guest previewed new promotional items and got to taste new additions to Citi Field’s menu.
Citi Field has partnered with numerous companies to provide an elevated and convenient fan experience like no other. One of the companies chosen was Wicket as the Met’s official facial authentication partner.
