The first half of the 2024 edition of the Subway Series is forthcoming with a matchup between the New York Mets and New York Yankees from Citi Field in Queens, N.Y. Baseball fans can look forward to stars including Francisco Lindor, Aaron Judge, Pete Alonso and Juan Soto facing off on the field as the teams try to claim bragging rights within the Big Apple. Preceding the two-game series, consumers will be able to listen to Evan & Tiki on WFAN and watch the program on SportsNet New York (SNY).
The afternoon drive show, however, will not be in the studio, but rather on location from the ballpark in the Cadillac Club at Payson’s, a premium membership space in right field. Co-host Evan Roberts made the show announcement on Wednesday evening where he provided details about the two-day broadcasting setup from the ballpark.
“It’s the Subway Series, and for the first time in a very long time – I honestly can’t tell you the last time this happened – but for the first time in many years, we are bringing the show to Citi Field,” Roberts said. “That’s right – we will be broadcasting live at Citi Field at the magnificent Cadillac Club.”
Roberts recalled that a listener generously gave him tickets to a Mets game in the Cadillac Club and described the space as a “badass speakeasy that’s inside right field.” The WFAN show will broadcast live from the space while also being simulcast on SNY. The regional sports network does not generally simulcast the full four hours of the program, but it will be doing so as part of the two days of broadcasts taking place from Citi Field.
“Thank you very much to Cadillac, thank you very much to Citi Field, thank you very much to SNY,” Roberts said. “It’ll be very cool to be on for a full four hours on both days – June 25 and June 26 – so it’s a big Subway Series show live from Citi Field for the first time in, like, forever. I don’t remember the last time we’ve broadcasted as a station inside of Citi Field, so that’s very, very cool.”
WFAN recently presented a Kickoff to Summer event from D’Jais in Belmar, N.J. featuring programming across its weekday lineup. The Boomer & Gio morning show was live in Las Vegas, Nev. for Super Bowl LVIII and has had additional special live shows from various venues in the New York metropolitan area, frequently selling out the crowd and including special guests. Brandon Tierney and Sal Licata also broadcast their midday show live from MLB Network’s Studio 42 in late-March concurrent with Opening Week of the Major League Baseball season.
