The New York Mets’ home at Citi Field is undergoing several targeted renovations aimed at enhancing visitors’ game day experience, the first time the ballpark’s seating bowl has been updated since opening in 2009. Shawmut completed the first upgrades to several key areas including a variety of club and suite spaces. The fast-track project was on time and on budget, and Citi Field welcomed fans back on Opening Day 2023 with several new, hospitality-driven experiences.

  • Empire Club – 3,500 square-foot, 60-person club that replaces five suites down the left field line and supports new loge box offerings.
  • Cadillac Club at Payson’s – 7,000 square-foot, 150-seat field-level club that honors Joan Whitney Payson, the Mets’ original owner.
  • Delta Suites – 4,200 square-foot expansion of three suites behind home plate.
  • Hijole Porch – activation of former dead space to create 11,470 square feet across four platforms including gathering space, modified bowl tiers, and enhanced F&B offerings.
