The 7 Line Army is a group of fans of the New York Mets started in 2012 by Darren Meenan, the founder of The 7 Line, a company that makes Mets-themed apparel. The group is named after the 7 train of the New York City Subway, which stops near Citi Field at Mets–Willets Point. They occupy the Big Apple Reserved section of Citi Field during Mets home games. The 7 Line Army also attends numerous Mets road games, sponsoring outings which attract more than 1,000 fans. History The first outing was the final home game of the 2012 season, September 27.

Tickets were sold on The 7 Line website. For eac ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
