Mets install 'Grimace Seat' at Citi Field in honor of McDonald's mascot
The Mets are recognizing the purple power of McDonald's mascot Grimace with a seat at Citi Field in his honor.
Grimace's honorary seat is located at Section 302, Row 6, Seat 12.
The seat is Grimace's signature purple and features a nameplate recognizing the mascot.
Grimace threw out the first pitch on June 12, the start of a seven-game Mets winning streak.
The Mets were 29-37 when Grimace first arrived in Flushing. The club is tied for the final NL wild card spot entering its last homestand of the regular season.
Grimace's seat is part of the Mets' fan appreciation weekend, set for Sept. 20-22.
