The Clover Club batting cage window at Citi has been removed

Does anyone have any news on why this happened or if it’s coming back? For those who don’t know, the Clover Club which is one of the Mets premium lounges at field level and behind home plate used to give you access to see the indoor batting cages. You used to be able to see the players take BP before and during games. It also has a rest area for players and what seems to be a computer where they can look at their swings. I went to a Mets game this week and the windows were completely blacked out and the chairs were removed from the area.

I enjoyed it as a nice perk, but it was really for kids who would crowd the area. I wonder if players had a problem with it. I have personally seen some players go in that area to sulk or physically show frustration in the after not coming through in big moments. It was very vulnerable. So much so that I would feel uncomfortable sharing those moments that they obviously don’t want shown on camera. Anyway figured I’d let people know since they still advertise it and to see if anyone knows what’s going on.

Steve Cohen calls out NY Mets fans who didn't show up after getting free tickets

Context: The Mets moved their Tuesday and Wednesday games up because of weather. Because of the change, they offered complimentary tickets to fans to make the new start time and vouchers for fans who already had rickets. All of the free tickets were claimed within hours, but only 58% of fans who claimed the tickets actually showed up. This is why we can’t have nice things.
