Mets fan Gary Palumbo unveiled the final design for the billboards that will go up by Citi Field in Queens and Tradition Field in Port St. Lucie.
The goal was to raise awareness that the Mets are now ready to contend and become relevant again after fans were asked to be patient for six long and frustrating years. The owners promised to support the team once it rebuilt a new young core of exciting players and got their financial problems sorted out. However Mets owners have not kept their end of the bargain. Instead they’ve kept payroll flat and in the bottom 20 percent of baseball while projecting a 19 percent spike in ticket sales.
To help drive the effort MetsBillboard.com was launched in conjunction with the release of the design today. You can check out the site to learn more or you can follow them on Twitter at @MetsBillboard.
