Citi Field Reaches Revenue Record in Juan Soto’s First Mets Season

The Mets have already seen a massive return on investment with Juan Soto‘s 15-year, $765 million contract that he signed with the club in December 2024.

Not only did Soto slash .263/.396/.525 last year with a career-high 43 home runs and 38 stolen bases, which was tied for the National League lead, but the organization itself had a historic season in terms of their revenue at Citi Field.

As reported by Sportico.com’s Kurt Badenhausen, Queens Ballpark Company brought in $311.4 million in revenue during 2025, which marked just over a $50 million increase from the season prior.

“Queens Ballpark Company had revenue of $311.4 million in 2025, according to a disclosure required by the financing agreement related to building Citi Field,” Badenhauser wrote. “It was up from $260.8 million the prior year and $237.8 million in 2023.

“Net ticket revenue was $157.6 million, up from $136.7 million, as 850,000 more fans came through the turnstiles last season versus 2024 for a new Citi Field record of 3.2 million.

“The increased attendance also boosted premium seating and concession revenue. Luxury suite and club premium revenue nearly doubled to $39.1 million, as the Mets expanded their premium inventory, including additional Delta Sky360 Club seating. Concessions jumped 55% to $38.3 million.”

The jump in earnings, particularly through ticket sales, at Citi Field comes as no surprise considering Soto’s status as one of baseball’s top stars coupled with the excitement surrounding the Mets following their run to the NLCS in 2024.

Though the club went 38-55 from June 13 on and ultimately missed the postseason as a result, Soto’s performance was at the bottom of the list in terms of reasons why they collapsed. Over that same stretch, he hit .271/.400/.566 with 30 homers and finished third in NL MVP voting.

The Mets were among the most active teams all offseason as they remodeled their roster and looked to right their wrongs from the 2025 campaign, with the likes of Pete Alonso and Edwin Díaz leaving via free agency while Jeff McNeil and Brandon Nimmo were traded.

On the flip side, New York signed Bo Bichette, Jorge Polanco, Devin Williams and Luke Weaver while acquiring Marcus Semien, Freddy Peralta and Luis Robert Jr. in trades, helping to form a new nucleus that should contend for a playoff spot and perhaps more this season.
