Yankees, Mets expected to generate $909M for NYC in 2025

Mayor Eric Adams announced that the New York Yankees and Mets are projected to generate $909 million in economic impact for New York City during the 2025 regular season. The Yankees' home games are expected to contribute $594 million, while the Mets are projected to generate $315 million, largely due to higher ticket prices and attendance figures. This economic boost stems from various factors including visitor spending on tickets, concessions, merchandise, and lodging, as well as stadium payrolls and indirect spending. The recent playoff successes of both teams have also played a crucial role in driving tourism and local business activity. While the Yankees are expected to lead in economic impact, the Mets are optimistic about increased attendance following their recent achievements and roster changes. The collaboration of both teams contributes significantly to the city's recovery and economic development efforts.
