100 Random Cool Mets Things #20: Free entry to The Shea Picnic Area with a Pepsi!

Yes I know that can is from 2012.

I took yesterday off from 100 Random Cool Mets Things to focus on the 86 Anniversary, but now it’s back.

Remember right before Bobby V took over that you could actually get into Mets games for AN EMPTY CAN OF SODA.

No, really.

For a while, you could get in for free.  I know this sounds like I imagined it, but fortunately the Mets never took down the old webpage.  (Look before they read Mets Police and send the IT department scrambling.)

Seriously, THIS HAPPENED.  Can you imagine?

Nowadays, I wouldn’t be surprised if the best promotion is that you take out a 30 year mortgage with Citi and they’ll let you buy $5 seats, select dates only.

An empty can of soda?  Yeah I took advantage of this one a lot.
