Why track Citi Field attendance?
If your stub says Citi Field, that is this Queens building. Mets nights belong on the New York Mets game tracker. Shea Stadium and the Polo Grounds were different homes — not this one. There is no earlier printed name for Citi Field in Ticket Timeline's catalog. Log those nights on the team page; this page holds the Mets' current park.
A Mets stub from Citi Field is not a night at Shea Stadium. Ticket Timeline helps you pin each game you attended here to the real matchup and roster, separate from the franchise's earlier homes.
- Log Mets home games you personally attended here—not today's crowd count or a live scoreboard.
- Keep Shea Stadium and Polo Grounds stubs on those earlier barns—not mixed in as Citi Field.
- Match each night to real players, milestones, and ballpark memories—not a live scoreboard.
- Count this building toward your wider MLB ballpark progress across every park you've visited.
- Import old stubs, spreadsheets, or Gmail confirmations instead of retyping every date.
