More protection for fans is coming to Citi Field.
The Mets, on Thursday, announced plans to install protective netting along the base lines that more than triples the square footage of protection afforded to fans.
The expansion is scheduled to be completed by the first homestand following the All-Star break.
According to the Mets, the new netting will exceed MLB’s recommended guidelines, which already have been met.
Included are plans to expand the span of 30-foot high (from the field) netting behind home plate beyond the dugouts, to the far ends of the camera wells (near the aisles at Sections 111 and 124).
Also, 8-foot high netting would expand from the camera wells to the edge of the outfield at Section 109 (right field) and Section 126 (left field).
According to the Mets, the expanded netting system uses enhanced technology that increases transparency and is 97 percent invisible.
