A major New York baseball team, the Mets, this weekend gave away free admissions to the city's museums, such as the Met or the Brooklyn Museum, to its fans. All they had to do was show up in a team T-shirt or cap. A model that can be replicated in Italy with soccer as well?

In the United States, the new season of MLB, Major League Baseball, the main professional baseball league, is about to begin: the start of games is set for March 30. And there is one team that, while waiting to take the field, has decided to combine sports and culture in a unique way. They are the New York Mets, one of two New York teams, eternal rivals of the Yankees, who for this year have come up withAmazin’ Day, a day dedicated to the team and the city, so named after the nickname by which the Mets are known (“The Amazins,” or “the wonderful ones”).

During the first-everAmazin’ Day, set for last Saturday, March 25, fans could wear a Mets cap or any piece of team apparel, a T-shirt for example, to gain access to surprise giveaways and first-timer events at major New York institutions. The celebration also provided access to limited tickets and events focused on the fan community, as well as a chance to win the top prize in the Amazin’ Day raffle. Among the opportunities offered to fans were free admission to museums: these included the Brooklyn Museum (normally accessible at a cost of $16), which granted free admission to the first 500 Mets fans who showed up in team apparel, and the Metropolitan Museum , which instead placed no limits (the museum is accessible at a cost of $30, while residents are free for the taking). In addition, a limited edition of the Queens Public Library, obviously Mets-branded, was also launched and distributed to fans.

Mets fans shared lots of photos on social media with the hashtag #AmazinDay, as requested by the team. A day, in short, under the banner of culture, sports and a sense of community among fans. A model that can be replicated in Italy with soccer as well?
