Getting Around

Citi Field is served directly by the 7 subway line at the Mets–Willets Point station right outside the park, and by the LIRR's Mets–Willets Point station on game days. The 7 train from Manhattan is the easiest way in.

Parking

Large paid lots surround the ballpark, but the 7 train makes transit simple and avoids postgame traffic. If you drive, arrive early and expect a wait leaving.

Best Seats & Views

Lower-level seats along the infield offer the closest views, and the Excelsior and club levels add amenities. Enter through the Jackie Robinson Rotunda for the signature first impression, and note the Shea Bridge spanning the outfield.

Where to Stay

Many visitors stay in Manhattan and ride the 7 train out in about half an hour, opening up the full range of New York hotels. There are also options near LaGuardia and in Flushing. Compare dates, as New York pricing varies widely.
