NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – It’s Opening Day for the Mets, but baseball fans are not allowed in the ballpark.
As CBS2’s Kevin Rincon reports, that makes for an unusual pre-game atmosphere at Citi Field, especially before a game against the Atlanta Braves.
First pitch is scheduled for 4:10 p.m.

Rincon said the team installed large fences along the perimeter of the stadium to ensure unauthorized visitors don’t make it inside.
The fences are a small part of the big changes put in place by Major League Baseball in 2020.
