Citi Field Attendance Totals and Records

Send this page to a friend
Mets attendance in the Citi Field era is documented on this page.

Citi Field opened in 2009 with an official capacity of 41,800 and has seated 41,922 since 2012.

Note that all attendance numbers are based on tickets sold, not tickets actually used, and the yearly averages are computed by using dates instead of games, as single-admission doubleheaders count as only one date for attendance purposes.

Yearly (season) totals and averages plus individual game records are based on regular season attendance. Postseason attendance is tallied separately.
