This is what I think - I wasn’t planning on going to the game but I will take my tickets and my husband’s tickets off Stubhub as an act of symbolism.  We should create a Facebook page b/c I think this thing has legs.  I know I won’t like letting my tickets go to waste since I already paid for them - however, I do know that if only like 1000 fans show up, since it’s Mets/Marlins what’s exciting about that?  They will HAVE to talk about it on the radio and TV.  News outlets will pick it up.  We get enough fans to promote (and get Howard Megdal to talk about it) we should make enough of a statement.  What do you think?

Have to agree with you that it won’t have legs. I think, in general, the internet fan presence—the folks who follow the team closely enough for something like this to be under consideration—is a relatively small part of the fan base. At least that’s the impression I have to take from any MLB game I attend, where virtually none of the folks I see know as much about the team(s) as the couple hundred people I know online and whom I tend to assume are representative of the fans.

I set up a Facebook event - it will be interesting to see if this thing has legs.  It’s symbolic but even for those of us who have paid, if a few thousand fans (like under 10K) show up, it will speak volumes.  Let’s try it out.  If some kid can name his sister’s baby Megatron we can get less than 10K to show up at Citifield

I saw your FB event and added it to the post at about the same time you posted this.

I wish I could join in.  But I’m meeting a friend at the game, and he’s coming in from Australia.

The whole idea is just flawed.

How about organizing a sit-out against a contending team like the Phillies? I understand next Sunday night’s game from Shea is going to be on ESPN. All those empty seats against a competing team on national television - now THAT would make a better statement than sitting out a game against a team that has its own trouble selling tickets to watch them play in Miami!
