QUEENS VENUE TRANSPORTATION

Citi Field Car Service Queens

Professional car service to Citi Field—Mets games, concerts, events in Flushing, Queens. Skip the 7 train bottleneck, avoid parking hassle, and enjoy door-to-door convenience from Manhattan, Long Island, or airports.

Why Choose Car Service for Citi Field

Citi Field hosts 81 Mets home games April through September plus concerts and special events—85–95 total annually. With 41,922 fans converging on Flushing, the single 7 train line and limited parking create real challenges that professional car service solves.

7 Train Bottleneck

Mets-Willets Point is the only subway station—40,000+ fans create 15–25 min platform waits post-game. Car service bypasses the single-station chaos with private pickup on Roosevelt Avenue or Seaver Way.

Parking Alternative

Citi Field parking costs $25–$50 with 30–45 min post-game exit gridlock. Car service eliminates fees entirely and provides curbside drop-off at Seaver Way. No walking through Flushing lots at night.

Long Island Convenience

Core Mets fan base in Nassau (30–45 min) and Suffolk (45–75 min) counties. Direct door-to-door service from your Long Island home—no LIRR crowds, no schedule dependence.

Airport Proximity

Citi Field is the closest MLB stadium to NYC airports. JFK 20–30 min, LGA 15–25 min. Flight tracking and baggage claim meet-and-greet included.

Family-Friendly

Mets games skew family and group attendance. Day games (1:10 PM start) are perfect for kids. Van service keeps multi-generational groups together—no subway separation, shared pre-game excitement.

2026 Mets Highlights

Mets vs Phillies (June 26–28, Sept 17–20 NL East rivalry), Mets vs Dodgers (July 24–26 premium demand), Mets vs Braves (June 12–14, July 27–29). High-demand games sell out—book transportation early.

Citi Field—Queens' Premier Baseball Venue

41 Seaver Way, Flushing Meadows-Corona Park. Opened 2009 on the site adjacent to historic Shea Stadium. The 41,922-seat venue was designed for modern comfort with wider seats, increased legroom, and 53 luxury suites.

New York Mets (MLB)

81 home games per season, April through September. The “Amazin' Mets” carry on the legacy of the 1969 Miracle Mets and 1986 champions. Queens' blue-collar, family-first fan culture fills the stands.

Design & Heritage

Exterior facade inspired by Brooklyn's Ebbets Field. Green seats honor the Polo Grounds (first Mets home 1962–63). Modern amenities include 19–24" wider seats, 33–39" legroom, and 7,800 club seats.

Concerts & Events

2–4 major concerts per year plus college baseball (St. John's), international soccer friendlies, and NYCFC select games. US Open tennis at the adjacent USTA center creates late-August overlap traffic.

Avoid Citi Field 7 Train Crowds—Single Station Bottleneck

Mets-Willets Point station is the only subway option—a single 7 train line with no redundancy. Post-game, 40,000+ fans funnel into one station simultaneously.

The 7 Train Problem

  • Single subway line—no alternative lines like Yankee Stadium (4-5 options)
  • 15–25 min platform waits post-game, extreme crowding
  • Express trains downtown during rush, but post-game typically local stops
  • LIRR alternative at same station costs $10–$14 round trip
  • Miss the LIRR train = 20–40 min wait for the next one

Car Service Solution

  • Private pickup on Roosevelt Ave or Seaver Way—zero crowds
  • Comfort for families and groups—keep everyone together
  • No Queens navigation stress for out-of-town visitors
  • Direct door-to-door—no transfers, no connection timing
  • Leave when you want, not when the next train arrives

Skip Citi Field Parking Hassle—Choose Car Service

Official Parking

  • Regular season: $25 flat rate
  • Postseason/special events: $50 flat rate
  • VIP preferred (Lot B): Season ticket holders only
  • Multiple lots (B, C, D, E, F, G, Marina, Stadium View)
  • Post-game exit gridlock: 30–45 min when 40,000+ leave

  • Curbside drop-off at Seaver Way (main) or Roosevelt Ave
  • Cost-competitive—especially for Long Island origins

Long Island to Citi Field: Skip the LIRR Crowds

Long Island residents are the core Mets fan base. Direct car service beats the LIRR for comfort, flexibility, and total cost.

Nassau County (30–45 min)

Garden City, Great Neck, Mineola, Manhasset, Roslyn. Direct via LIE or Northern State Parkway. No Penn Station crowds, no LIRR schedule dependence, no transfer complexity. Leave when you're ready—post-game pickup any time.

Suffolk County (45–75 min)

Huntington, Smithtown, Commack, Port Jefferson. Direct via LIE. Car service is often cost-competitive with LIRR ($10–$14 round trip) when factoring parking if driving. A relaxing ride vs. a crowded commute—especially returning late at night.

Long Island Group Dynamics

Multiple attendees from the same town or neighborhood? Van service is the natural choice—shared pre-game excitement, post-game celebration together, and simplified billing with a single group invoice.
