Due to inclement weather, the planned special retirement ceremony honoring legendary broadcaster Howie Rose have been moved to Opening Weekend 2027.
"Howie Rose is more than a broadcaster to this organization. He is a part of the fabric of the New York Mets. Out of respect for everything he has meant to our fans, we have decided to postpone the ceremony and instead honor him during Opening Weekend 2027,” said President of Business Operations Lew Sherr. “While we are disappointed that inclement weather will prevent us from having our planned ceremony, we want to make sure that we properly celebrate Howie for all that he has done for the Mets.”
Despite the postponement, the first 15,000 fans who attend the September 20 scheduled game will still receive a “Put it in the books” notebook and scorecard.
Acknowledging that anticipated programming has shifted, fans currently holding a paid ticket for Sunday’s contest will receive a digital ticket voucher for a ticket comparable in price and location to a 2027 April-May home game at Citi Field (exclusions apply*), subject to availability.
* April 2 vs. San Francisco (Opening Day) & May 28-30 (Subway Series) are excluded from redemption in 2027. Additional blackout dates may apply.
