FLUSHING, N.Y., September 20, 2026 – The New York Mets today announced that, due to inclement weather, the club will postpone its planned special retirement ceremony honoring legendary broadcaster Howie Rose to Opening Weekend 2027. Today’s contest against Philadelphia is currently scheduled to be played.
“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 today’s 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. Fans can redeem and access digital vouchers in their My Mets Tickets account (accessed by clicking the Vouchers tab) beginning when 2027 single game tickets go on sale to the public.

*April 2 vs. San Francisco (Opening Day) & May 28-30 (Subway Series) are excluded from redemption in 2027. Additional blackout dates may apply.
