Getting to Citi Field
New York Mets · Queens, NY
Citi Field has its own subway station — Mets–Willets Point, served by the 7 Train — and the Mets document how to reach the 7 from every other line that matters, naming the transfer stop for each. They also publish what is not working: 61 St-Woodside construction may prevent express service, including the postgame Mets Super Express, for the whole 2026 season.
Tips & Fan Reports
During the US Open the Mets warn of gridlock and limited parking, and push transit outright.
The 7 Train stops at Mets–Willets Point, which is the ballpark's own station.
Coming off the E, F, M or R, change at 74 Street-Broadway / Jackson Heights Roosevelt Avenue; off the N or W, change at Queensboro Plaza; off the G, at Court Square.
The postgame Mets Super Express may not run in 2026 because of 61 St-Woodside construction — do not count on it for the trip home.
Ways In
- Driving
- The Mets publish no driving route on their transportation pages, steering fans to mass transit instead — with a standing gridlock warning during the US Open, when parking is limited.
- Public Transit
- The 7 Train runs direct to Mets–Willets Point Station, with extra and express trains on game days, stopping in Manhattan at Hudson Yards, Times Square, 5th Avenue and Grand Central, and throughout Queens. From the E, F, M or R, transfer to the 7 at 74 Street-Broadway / Jackson Heights Roosevelt Avenue. From the N or W, transfer at Queensboro Plaza. From the G, which runs crosstown to Brooklyn, transfer at Court Square. Note that construction at 61 St-Woodside may prevent 7 express service between Queensboro Plaza and 74 Street-Broadway during 2026, including the postgame Mets Super Express.
- Rideshare
- Uber/Lyft drop-off on Seaver Way near the Jackie Robinson Rotunda entrance. 25-45 minutes from Midtown depending on traffic. Post-game, walk toward the 7 train station for pickup to avoid surge.

- Transit
MTA subway and local bus: "The fare is $3 for most riders", weekly cap $35. Commuter rail inside the city is the CityTicket, and MTA states it plainly: "For travel on one railroad within New York City without changing directions, a one-way CityTicket costs $5.25 for off-peak trains and $7.25 for peak trains." Games are evenings and weekends, so off-peak $5.25 is the game-day fare. Mets-Willets Point is inside the city, and MTA adds that one-way tickets to/from it "cost the same as tickets to/from Manhattan". The stored $5 was a near miss on the $5.25 CityTicket
