They’re playing this series at West Ham’s home turf, the “London Stadium,” which was renovated between 2013 and 2016. Same venue that hosted the Yanks and Sox in 2019 and Cubs and Cardinals last year. The NFL games are played elsewhere, at Wembley, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and Twickenham.
The MLB Europe page also put out a helpful set of graphics for traveling fans. There’s going to be a “Phillies Zone,” “Mets Zone,” and a “Bleacher Bar” as well. At the Phillies Zone, you have pitching tunnels, a merch stand, and some food and drink options. The Mets Zone has an interactive “coming up short” experience, which will be sure to attract not just New York baseball fans, but Arsenal supporters as well:
Looks really cool. Hopefully the Phils beat the brakes off the Mets across the pond. Through Sunday, we’ll use only British slang to describe the Mets. Those daft twats.
