NEW YORK.─ Mets fans showed their joy on social media at the change in the time of their games to Saturdays for this season.
On X, formerly known as Twitter, Mets fans praised the decision
According to a team announcement, the Mets will open games at Citi Field on Saturdays at 1:40 pm ET or 4:10 pm ET.
“I love this. “I have small children and it was very difficult to be limited to just Sunday games,” one wrote.

“Mr. Steve Cohen is for the people,” said a second, referring to the franchise owner.
After having many games on Saturday nights in recent seasons, the Mets announced a big change for 2024.
The Mets will have five Saturday games at Citi Field this season starting at 1:40 p.m., including their opening series on March 30 against David Stearns’ former club, the Milwaukee Brewers, and a clash on March 11. May against the Atlanta Braves.
Between June 1 and September 1. On the 21st, New York has eight times at 4:10 pm
Saturday’s home games, including the afternoon of Darryl Strawberry’s No. 18 jersey retirement on June 1 against the Arizona Diamondbacks and a July 27 meeting with the Braves where the team will hand out replica Mercury Mets jerseys from Mike Piazza to the first 15,000 fans.
The jersey promotion is just one of 19 giveaways available to fans at Citi Field this season. There will also be four nights of fireworks and the retirement of Doc Gooden’s number 16 jersey on Sunday, April 14
